NIH has cut billions of dollars in biomedical funding, effective immediately The move halts a large slice of money for most universities and research institutions virtually overnight, imperiling vital research in everything from cancer to heart disease. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

I built my entire future on the hope of securing NIH funding. Now, countless junior faculty like me are watching our academic dreams slip away. We’re not just losing careers—we’re losing the research breakthroughs we could have delivered. Here’s hoping this NIH crisis ends soon. #medsky #NIH

To all the amazing doctors, nurses, APPs, unit clerks, food service, environmental service workers in the hospital today. We see you, we thank you, and your patients depend on you. Merry Christmas to all! #medsky

Bloodstream infections (bacteremia) are serious—over 500K cases/year in the U.S. alone. The BALANCE trial challenges a key treatment norm: Do we need 14 days of antibiotics, or is 7 days enough? Let’s dive in. 🔬💉 #MedSky #IDSky www.nejm.org/doi/full/10....

Since we’re entering the last month of 2024, here is a non-systematic review of #pulmcrit trials published this year that I found particularly noteworthy. Not comprehensive, so please include any that I may have missed! (🧵1/11) #emimcc #critcare #pulmsky #medsky

If #MedSky is going to thrive, we need more journals sharing key research. Great to see ATS community joining the conversation—here’s to advancing knowledge together! #PCCMsky

A thread 🧵 on trials I think have changed or will change ICU practice (at least my own). #emimcc

Spending Thanksgiving differently this year: on ICU call overnight, wife working at the hospital, skipped cooking a big meal. But gratitude fills our home. Dancing with my daughters, putting up Christmas decorations—reminded that joy is in the little moments. ❤️ #Thanksgiving

Could diabetes drugs reduce asthma attacks? New observational study shows metformin linked to 30% fewer asthma attacks—and adding GLP-1RA meds cut attacks by another 40%!? #Asthma #Pulmonary #MedSky #PCCM pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39556360/
