RCT: Home-delivered, low-sodium Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) groceries and dietitian support temporarily improved blood pressure and LDL cholesterol in Black adults with high BP versus monetary support. #AHA25 @ahascience.bsky.social ja.ma/4oZ5JVI

Congratulations, @spjuraschek.bsky.social (and his mighty team!) for your GoFresh late breaker at #AHA25 and your @jama.com publication! Huge amount of work and very impressive findings. @bidmcreseach.bsky.social jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

Great job to our post doc, Zaib Hussain at the QCOR early career competition! Her and @uvmvermont.bsky.social CompSci PhD student, Tonye Harry's manuscript is now published at Circ's QCOR journal! #aha25 www.ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/...

Proud of Sarah Krumholz, med student in our lab, for winning the award for Outstanding Research Publication by a Medical Student! Her mentor is my former mentee @tbplante.bsky.social, so that makes her my ‘granddaughter’?? 🤣 @uvmlarnermed.bsky.social Research Week

Congratulations to @uvmlarnermed.bsky.social medical student, Sarah Krumholz, for winning the Outstanding Research Publication award for her study in REGARDS investigating risk of hypertension by sRAGE level! Very well deserved! Her paper: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40708351/

@tbplante.bsky.social It drew a lot of audience engagement - great session for the last day!!!

Watched Ghostbusters with the kids. Such a great movie! I set myself up for being woken up 43 times tonight though.

Anyone else have an albatross project? I have a paper that is older than 2 of my children finally under review at a journal.

Remember when Google searches actually gave you results that were useful? The internet is seemingly wall to wall AI slop now.

Go cats go! @uvmlarnermed.bsky.social Class of 2025!

Congratulations to the #OPTION investigators for completing a likely practice-changing trial of #AFAblation & #LAAOcclusion in AF. The supplement has probably the most remarkable tabulation of adverse events I've ever seen. Read our review on WJC: www.wikijournalclub.org/wiki/OPTION

Better #CardiovascularHealth (aka #LifesEssential8) is associated with lower #CVD, #Cancer, and other deaths in #REGARDS. Fascinating associations by LE8 component. www.jacc.org/doi/10.1016/... @jaccjournals.bsky.social @uvmlarnermed.bsky.social @dmljmd.bsky.social

Super important read on cuffless devices for blood pressure! www.ahajournals.org/doi/full/10....

Had a great visit with Tisdale lecturer, Ken Mukamal (@bidmcreseach.bsky.social). Stopped by our (@uvmlarnermed.bsky.social) biorepository. Behold! Specimens from studies that NIH has spent hundreds of millions of dollars supporting. MAJOR advancements in scientific knowledge have come from here.

#Measles is officially in #Vermont. "Prepare for measles cases." www.healthvermont.gov/sites/defaul...

showed this to LilAware and I think it might be a good example of how a large proportion of protocol violations may make per protocol analysis more appropriate than intention to treat

DASH diet with low sodium lowers BP in DM, even when sglt2-i or glp-1 agonists are used! #epilifestyle25

So how's everyone doing?

Great job, Jake! For folks going to #ahaepi25, make sure to check out Jake's poster for this project.

What a great storm! Fluffy light snow all over Burlington. Keep it coming!

The freeze on @NIH study sections and grant reviews doesn’t just stall U.S. research—it impacts global science. Collaborators abroad, often reliant on grant funds, face disruptions in salaries, experiments, and progress. Science is a team effort; the freeze ripples worldwide.

Cochran's Ski Area in Richmond, VT is so wholesome. $300/y for a family pass, but free if cost is problematic. Everyone is lovely. Run by a family of Olympians in their family land as a nonprofit.

Check out http://validatebp.org 🇺🇸 BP device listing. A bit different from the excellent http://stridebp.org & Medaval. We peer review both published & unpublished validation studies (many journals will no longer publish these & struggle to find qualified reviewers) 3/

I'm sorry, what? $3700??

Need to make a (social) network graph or hierarchical graph? Here's my how to using #stata and #Graphviz! blog.uvm.edu/tbplante/202... #episky #statssky

Me: What did you ask Santa for? 8yo daughter: A Walkman! Me: Really? You wanna listen to music? 8yo: yeah or watch a movie. Me: on a Walkman? 8yo: Yes, daddy. Or listen to books. Do you know what a Walkman is? Me (40yo): Very well. 8yo: Me too. I read about them in a book.

I'm a big fan of the block lists on #bluesky. It's honestly probably the best feature of the platform. But how do I block posts with rage screenshots from the bird app? There's a reason I'm here and not there.
