HHS: “We want more gold-standard science!” Also, HHS: *long political review that delays funding and halts life-saving new discoveries if you mention a “recruitment plan” in your grant proposal*

theyre not “predictors” theyre gamblers, hes trying to get 18-34 year olds addicted to gambling

Children‘s Hospitals can’t be the only place sick kids can get care. There just aren’t enough beds.

I report this video I made now and again, when I want to remind myself that we are, generally speaking, good.

“You think your pain and your heartbreak are unprecedented in the history of the world, but then you read. It was books that taught me that the things that tormented me most were the very things that connected me with all the people who were alive, who had ever been alive.” ― James Baldwin

That's the decision that enables a lot of disabled people to keep living in their communities instead of being warehoused in institutions. A first move to a eugenics genocide.

My quote of the day Rosalind Franklin

Autism therapy can be incredibly helpful. But mining autistic kids for Medicaid dollars is incredibly horrible. (Gift link) www.nytimes.com/2026/05/23/h...

When companies like Aetna or UnitedHealthcare want to rein in costs, they turn to EviCore, whose business model depends on turning down payments for care recommended by doctors for their patients. (Published Oct. 2024 with @capitolforum.bsky.social)

My book Coverage Denied comes out tomorrow & I'm grateful to @donmoyn.bsky.social for the space to lay out the core findings, which show how prior auth's extension into most corners of health care burdens patients & their physicians, and in doing so deepens inequity open.substack.com/pub/donmoyni...

I want a "conference" where every academic cooks a dish for everyone and we all talk about our work casually while cooking. People can sous chef for each other. We eat and talk about our work in progress. You submit an abstract and a recipe.

I am deeply saddened that a student was shot at Natomas High School. My thoughts are with the victim and with the students, their families, and the educators and school staff. Schools should be safe spaces for everyone in our community.

Excited to be joining the board of the family business. If you like Ralph Waldo Emerson, reach out! His house needs a new roof! rwema.org

It doesn’t get more Davis than this.

New EV sales dropped because the IRA EV tax credits were repealed by the current administration. But used EVs are now as cheap or less expensive than similar fossil fuel cars and sales are up 12% 🧪🔌💡☀️💨💧🔋 electrek.co/2026/03/27/u...

A trove of nearly 3,200 disclosure records, which ProPublica made public this week, reveals a web of financial ties between Trump officials and the industries they help regulate.

One way to drastically improve the salmon and steelhead population is removing dams. To me, that seems nicer and more natural than mass killing beloved marine mammals, who are naturally entitled to eat fish.

Fake “cures” for #autism are very profitable for RFK Jr’s wellness friends. He does not want Americans to know how dangerous they are. #DrainTheSwamp

Heard an interview today where a guy said (and I'm paraphrasing) "LLMs have had years to train on every aspect of chess, read every book and article about it, review every match, but when they play, they STILL makes illegal moves. That tells you everything." And. Yup.

Judge people by how they treat children.

Hey @drpanmd.bsky.social I know you've got a lot on your plate right now but could you put in at word with the AAP that they should get off X and onto Bluesky?

Good. No decent organization should still be posting there.

My friend Sara posted this about the superb care her father received from with Alex Pretti Absolutely heartbreaking

Let me try to articulate what I think the central economic issue of the current moment really is.

Our fundraiser for @drpanmd.bsky.social tonight started with a solemn moment of admiration for another healthcare worker who gave his life for American ideals today. Giving time & money seems like nothing in comparison. But it's *not* nothing. We need new people - new healers - representing us.

the perennial "is this a good replacement for twitter / can it become as big as twitter" discussion is so confused. hominids became bipedal about 7 million years ago. for most of the time since we did not have microblogging. it's not a necessity it's a habit, if it all goes away that's fine

Looking for a concrete thing you can do that beats fretting on social media? I suggest finding a local race and supporting it with an in-person event. I’m doing that for @drpanmd.bsky.social and it’s highly agreeable. drpanforcongress.com/news/dr-rich...
