Bryan Vartabedian (aka "Doctor V") has been thinking and writing about physician influence for a long time. His recent blog post (open.substack.com/pub/33charts...) is a great read - and yet another argument for why industry needs to be more careful and detailed than ever in finding the TRUE KOLs.

America is bailing out Argentina, while Argentine farmers sell soybeans to China instead of American farmers, thereby bankrupting them, which is why America also have to bail out American farmers. If this is considered winning, I fear what losing looks like.

lots of news about vaccines this week, but don't forget ACOG's upcoming webinar on respiratory season.

#MedSky have you tried this app yet? It sounds amazing - but of course, I'm not a doctor so I can't use it! :-) hcpeers.app Tagline: "Discover and Grow your Online Impact"

We're so excited about #AACR25 that we just created a starter pack for all their Social Media Ambassadors on #MedSky - almost all are here! Follow these leaders here for all the AACR lowdown: go.bsky.app/Jj6Efme

We begged twitter to do this for 15 years. We have verified hundreds of thousands of online doctors ... now, maybe the world can get some real benefit from that! Well done, @bsky.app.

Hey #CardioSky, we just added @thomasmdas.bsky.social @nef11.bsky.social @anvoramd.bsky.social @tdoing.bsky.social @camwhitler.bsky.social and @tomkaier.com to our Interventional Cardiology Starter Pack. Have you followed them all yet? go.bsky.app/PiuxX9q

Out list of Interventional Cardiologists is growing! Have you followed them all? go.bsky.app/PiuxX9q #CardioSky #MedSky

Excellent post about how important it is for life sciences companies to stay in tune with digitally savvy physicians. The analytics we do at HealthQuant can help you do exactly that. www.mmm-online.com/features/pha... #MedSky #PharmaSky #KOL #DOL

#CardioSky folks, would you be interested in Starter Packs for other Cardiology specialties? I feel as though we're off to a great start with this one for #InterventionalCardiology ...

We've just created what we believe to be the first @bsky.app starter pack for Interventional Cardiology! go.bsky.app/PiuxX9q Now you cal follow your peers & colleagues with one click. Let us know who's missing from this initial list! allisondupont.bsky.social profdeaner.bsky.social

HealthQuant does HCP Analytics on @bsky.app! Check out this summary of what we've learned so far about #MedSky in this post: bit.ly/3P5BcFU #ASH24 #CardioSky #OncSky #NephSky

We're excited to release what we believe is the 1st visualization of #ASH24 conversations on @bsky.app between docs, other HCPs, the media, and other healthcare entities. This is a live link, so when you sit down at your computer, go poke around - see if you can find yourself! bit.ly/4fmEsY6 #MedSky

In addition to below, doctors on BlueSky were more likely to be original posters as opposed to just retweeting posts from others. 57% of docs posting on BlueSky had made at least 1 original post, where only 40% of doctors on Twitter/X had done so. #MedSky #OncSky #ASH24

A LOT of physicians joined @bsky.app in November! We're doing a study of ~1k physicians with both #Twitter and #BlueSky accounts to see whether #MedTwitter is fully migrating to #MedSky, whether they're staying put at X, or something else. Sign up for updates bit.ly/hcpbluesky! #PharmaSky

Interesting! Psst, @brianreid.bsky.social you might be interested.

Well THIS is interesting!!

More to come on the evolution of #MedSky! Stay tuned, #PharmaSky!
