Congratulations to @lauraburke20.bsky.social! EMF was one of the first to fund my research & I’m looking forward to seeing them support many more young investigators in emergency medicine! #emergencymedicine

I am not a political pawn. I am a living, breathing human being who has dedicated her life to a scientific problem that I believe matters for human health. The article below tells our story; I hope you will read it and share it www.nytimes.com/2025/09/14/m...

An incredible first hand account of the chaos that has ensued in NIH funded research labs and its far reaching impact on the future of cancer research. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/14/m... #NIH #cancer #UMass

Proud to share our teams' work on making fall prevention more accessible to emergency department patients who present at smaller, resource-limited EDs. #GAPcare #telehealth #NIAR21 #UCHealth www.uchealth.org/today/can-te...

Was at #AAIC25 this week talking to patient advocacy organizations for #AlzheimersDisease. Many don’t know about the deep crisis we are facing in #NIH funding. We need to continue to talk about this & importantly enlist our patients/future patients. Thx @jeremymberg.bsky.social for this graph.

I received this vaccine in my third trimester. My baby is now a healthy three year old. And I didn't get severe COVID while pregnant. Win win. Let's stop taking away options from women to receive evidence-based treatments to keep them healthy in pregnancy. #MedSky #Vaccines #COVID

Extensive Propublica story about grant terminations Sharing specifics and putting faces on the research… Definitely worth a read projects.propublica.org/nih-cuts-res...

There are ways to reduce #dementia risk: 🦻get hearing checked 🚶‍♂️exercise 👭stay social But beware of #pseudoscience. A family member was sold “light therapy for the brain.” If it cured dementia, it’d be the first. Physicians aren’t hiding cures—we’re trying to protect from harm. #BrainHealth #NIH

Yet again – in a non-clinical surrogate setting – clinicians aided by AI outperformed clinicians using conventional resources. But AI, by itself, led the way. #medsky #MLsky www.evidencetriage.com/p/yet-again-...

New Paper Alert! I'm thrilled that we now have pharmacists embedded in emergency care in many EDs. Here, evidence that a #pharmacist led intervention reduced costs and recurrence of medication-related ED visits compared to usual ED care. @jama.com pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40293767

My quote of the day At times our own light goes out and is rekindled by a spark from another person. Each of us has cause to think with deep gratitude of those who have lighted the flame within us. Albert Schweitzer

Can we increase step counts after the ED visit in older sedentary Americans with a text message based intervention & pedometer? Yes! 🙌 And no fall events or other safety events identified. Congrats Dr. Brian Suffoletto pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40257547/ @agem-saem.bsky.social

My quote of the day I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear. Nelson Mandela

In 2023 @saemonline.bsky.social hosted a pre-conference on precision medicine in #emergencycare. We’re already seeing tailored pre-hospital, ED, and post-ED care, but expect to see much more with growth in #AI models and more sophisticated therapeutics. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39380335/

Grateful to host my former #Tideswell mentor & Division Director of GIM at Emory today at @cuanschutz.bsky.social! Ted, thanks for all the letters you’ve written on my behalf & the many formative experiences that made up the Tideswell Leaders in Aging program! #mentorship

Someone asked me to today what I’m most proud of in my job and it’s most definitely when I see my mentees succeed. Here, Megan Bounds, my research assistant extraordinaire and newly admitted medical student presenting at #SAEM25 & winning best medical student abstract @agem-saem.bsky.social!

I’ve reviewed so many papers recently of investigators working to improve care for older adults with falls who come to #emergencydepartments. I haven’t seen anything like this in the last decade. Thrilled that we’re catching on that older adults deserve tailored ED care! #GeriSky #EMSky

💵 The total economic burden of Alzheimer’s #dementia will reach $781 billion in the US this year. 🧪We only know this because of research funded by #NIH. Our best chance in curbing these costs is funding meaningful interventions & continued investment in science. #researchmatters

Now at @agem-saem.bsky.social Dr. Brian Patterson @madtownem.bsky.social talking about what will be a landmark study on #dementia care in the emergency department, called ED-LEAD (NIA U19). Thrilled to be a site PI @cuanschutz.bsky.social for our six sites #UCHealth @saemonline.bsky.social #SAEM25

Today’s session on “Empowering Women in Emergency Medicine Leadership” sparked bold ideas, honest reflections, and a vision for more transformative leadership in EM #SAEM25 #AWAEM @saemonline.bsky.social

Great to be #SAEM25 in Philadelphia with #EMSky! Check out all the great presentations #DHREM are doing! @cuanschutz.bsky.social #AcademicEM #Solvingproblems @saemonline.bsky.social

There's a trend to adapt #emergencydepartments to better meet the unique needs of our growing population of older adults. Grateful to @ahascience.bsky.social and Mike Merschel for spotlighting this important shift! #EMSky #GeriSky @acepnation.bsky.social www.heart.org/en/news/2025...

Climate science matters. Mental health matters. Funding for science on our climate & mental health matters.

Sen. Ossoff: Who out there in the American public is sitting at home demanding that we shut down cancer research and Alzheimer's research?

Deaths from heart disease down 75%, that’s NIH. Deaths from stroke down 75%, that’s NIH. HIV/AIDS no longer a death sentence, that’s NIH. 99% of FDA approved drugs in the last decade, that’s NIH. Please show this video to anyone who doesn’t understand why the NIH is so important.

#1 mistake: Thinking that post-hoc power is a thing. It's kinda like budgeting for your reno after the contractors are finished. It's too late. For engagement, distract them with a shiny app? pwrss.shinyapps.io/index/ Everyone loves pretty graphs

I’m giving a ten minute talk to #EMSky residents on #power and #samplesize analysis. 🧐 What do you think we often get wrong on the topic? 🗒️ Anyone with good ideas on how to make it EM relevant and keep folks awake who work night shifts at 10am? Trying to avoid this scenario ⬇️

“When you eliminate the precise people who know how to support older adults and bulldoze the infrastructure built to serve them, you’re not restructuring — you’re abandoning.” #HHS #ACL #aging #Medicaid #GeriSky #EMSky

Love me some #clinicaltrial methods talk. Nicely done @kertviele.bsky.social!

Great explainer of what we can accomplish with #geroscience and how investing in the science of longevity will help us live better longer. #healthspan #NIH #aging

I’m a finalist for an internal grant and one of the vetting steps involves presenting the idea to community members and getting their feedback. Great idea to make research more relevant and responsive to community needs! #communityengagement #WomenInSTEM 🧪

Basketball coach to my 10 year old daughter today: “Don’t be afraid to be great!” Yes! 🙌 We need bold leaders who also have the humility to ask for help & care about others. I have great hopes in you Gen Alpha!

The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality helped improve health care safety in a country where thousands die of medical errors each year. It was effectively dissolved Tuesday. kffhealthnews.org/news/article...

Science matters! New report shows that STEM jobs: ✅make up 34% of the economy ✅generate $11 trillion in economic activity ✅account for 39% of the GDP scienceisus.org/science-at-w...

It’s good to hear these stories and we need to keep staring them out loud. THIS is why #publichealth funding is important! It’s one thing to recommend vaccination, but if we make access too difficult people won’t use them.

Thanks @drsherrypagoto.bsky.social for writing this & sharing suggestions to better cope with the daily stress I think many Americans are feeling now. We can be angry and informed and also take a moment to focus on our own mental health. ❤️
