Breaking: The Trump administration just canceled $400M in federal grants & contracts to Columbia University. This is a grave threat to the future of higher education in America and freedom of speech. US academics are being targeted, and we must speak up vociferously. #MedSky #research

Just received notice that our grant was terminated. 5R24AG066599-03 TheRiseRegistry.org

Amid today’s massive NIH cuts to universities, please know that my research colleagues: - Develop new cancer treatments for kids - Are curing sickle cell disease - Build new tech to help premature babies survive - Prevent teens from dying of drug overdose - And more #NIH #MedSky #research #science

#DIScience24 is over but still so much to talk about! Kudos to @monica-p-jolles.bsky.social for bringing it home in the closing plenary with @enolaproctor.bsky.social and Drs. Agulnik, Iwelunmor, & Helfrich. Another great discussion! @accordsresearch.bsky.social #impsci #AcademicSky

Wonderful debate at #DIScience24! Dr. Irie did an amazing job stressing the opportunities to build lasting, relationships/infrastructure when we play the long game. Loved Dr. @leorahorwitzmd.bsky.social ‘s notes on hustling when we have solid evidence, low-risk opportunities, etc. #TeamItDepends

@monica-p-jolles.bsky.social the final plenary- we have all the pieces in #impsci we just need to put them together! #DIScience24

That’s a wrap on another wonderful D&I conference! Grateful for this opportunity every December to connect with colleagues near and far who are dedicated to thinking deeply about how to use #impsci to make meaningful and sustained impact. #DIScience24

Feels fitting that while at #DIScience24 @nufeinbergmed.bsky.social did a feature story on our growing implementation science community! So proud to be part of this dream team! news.feinberg.northwestern.edu/2024/12/09/a...

So glad someone got a picture of this!! Our team has started contracting with a graphic designer to summarize our results for community partners. The feedback has been very positive!! #DIScience24

Day 1 of #DIScience24 is in the books 🎉 We love to see these 📸 from our Director @bjweiner.bsky.social of some of our @uofwa.bsky.social #GlobalHealth #impsci colleagues at #DIScience24! 📸: Bryan Weiner w/ Grace Umutesi, Bryan w/ Kristin Beima-Sofie, David Katz, Sarah Masyuko w/ Arianna Means 🌟💜💛

#DIScience24 #academyhealth one of the best sessions I could attend as a junior faculty member doing implementation science. IS requires flexibility, open communication, and DOCUMENTATION!

Strong endorse!! Loved the speakers’ candor about when #ImpSci trials go off the rails (which they do and they will) and how to get them back on track (and how to prevent that by piloting more than you think and having contingency plans and trial modification rules up front)

Look out #DIScience24! 28 UW researchers, including a big cohort of Ph.D. students, are coming to a poster, podium, or plenary session near you. Check out the details in the post below. See you there!

UW Madison School of Pharmacy faculty, staff, & graduate students have approximately 10 presentations and posters at the Academy Health #DIScience24 Conference! Look for our sessions on complex implementation strategies, OTC meds for older adults, a nationally recognized COPD EBP and FRAM modeling.

I’m attending #AcademyHealth #discience24! There’s a talk on climate science & relating with D&I. As a citizen of a heavily-impacted LMIC, I wonder if it’s part of the convo to build skill and investment for D&I within LMICs to address health impacts.

This is my first conference since leaving the dark place and searching for #DIScience24 and actually finding content brings me such joy!! Me following everyone posting about the conference rn

Day one of #DIScience is a wrap and Day 2 is off to a great start! Forgetting to pack a cell phone charger has limited my ability to post but thanks to kind colleagues, here are some pics of @nufeinbergmed.bsky.social faculty and staff in action! 🧵 Features @rsbeidas.bsky.social & Allison Carroll

CDIS, our #ImpSci center at Northwestern, recently marked our 2nd birthday and we are celebrating in full force at the Academy Health #DIScience24 Conference! We have 82 faculty and staff giving 52 distinct presentations from plenaries to award nominees to Best of D&I! 🥳🎉 More 👇

👇 Beyond proud of all of the ways that our @nufeinbergmed.bsky.social #impsci community is representing at the 17th annual #DIScience24 Conference!!! 💜 Huge thanks to CDIS and Dr. @sjbeckerphd.bsky.social for leadership!!

So proud of my exceptional colleagues recognized as #ImpSci advice givers. We are especially fortunate to have @rsbeidas.bsky.social to advise social scientists as Chair of Medical Social Sciences at @nupress.bsky.social! implementationscience.biomedcentral.com/articles/10....

One of the best parts of #impsci is the generosity of mentors. A big part of my work now is mentoring & capacity-building in the field so I am so honored to be included in this list of D&I science advice givers nationally.Interesting SNA piece! implementationscience.biomedcentral.com/articles/10....

If you're looking for a postdoc and interested in Implementation Science and Health Equity check out the PRISE-HL T32 program! opportunities.ucsf.edu/content/post... Mentors can be either at UCSF or UCI, I'm not on the list, but currently mentoring a fellow so I do count. Please share!!! #impsci

It's not a good sign when there are so many infectious disease outbreaks happening at the same time that it's difficult to keep track of everything.

Today I had the pleasure of leading a #dissemination planning session with @rwjf.bsky.social Systems 4 Action grantees @cuanschutz.bsky.social. Hearing the unique ideas about audiences, messaging, and communication channels for innovative products for improving health & equity was so inspiring.

Registration for Northwestern's inaugural #ImpSci Academy is now open! This event is hosted by @rsbeidas.bsky.social @sjbeckerphd.bsky.social and Allison Carroll, PhD. This unique training combines expertise in dissemination and imp sci, human-centered design, digital health, and health equity.

My sister had this phone in her room when she was a senior (I was 13). Whenever she was out I would sneak into her room to make phone calls.

Times like these prompt me to reflect on how my views have been so warped being a reporter in America. When Yoon Suk Yeol became president by just 200,000 votes in 2022, I braced for a long recount fight cuz I’d covered the 2020 recount fights in U.S. swing states. I was so surprised when… 1/7

I’ve seen some posts recently, about the value of basic research, in light of funding cuts and demands that research have immediate economic justification. Let me collect some info here, in a thread, about why it’s a bad idea to attach those sorts of demands to funding. 🧵 🧪 ⚛️

If I saw this in a telescope, I would run screaming.

“Bluesky is an echo chamber!” Our Reply: Echo chamber? Nah, we prefer to call it surround sound for facts.

Submitted 42 PhD letters of rec this year! And was once again reminded how incredibly inefficient it is to have 42 *different* websites ask for ratings with splitting hair categories like “top 1% once in a decade,” “top 2% truly exceptional,” or “top 5% outstanding.” 🫠🫠🫠

1/ With more users joining Bluesky, we know how important it is to identify which accounts are real. Users deserve confidence that the accounts they interact with are authentic. Sharing some details about our impersonation policy 🧵

The holiday season is upon us, and for many people that means a lot of opportunities to drink and exposure to drinking. I talked to NPR Life Kit about myths and misinformation about alcohol and hangovers, and revealed all of my most advanced, secret toxicologist tricks to get rid of those hangovers.

Repost if BlueSky is now your primary social media site.
