🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. True

The tuberculosis epidemic continues to thrive because of the neglect and reluctance to invest in social protection Our new comment in @thelancetph.bsky.social www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

France just cut its contribution to the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria by 58 percent! And here we are, writing: European nations must continue to stay engaged in global health, continue to provide humanitarian assistance... www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

Hi folks! For a methods validation paper, we're looking for a large, cross-sectional, psychometric dataset that will show considerable heterogeneity in item responses, preferably, based on different classes/clusters/groups of people. Open access optimal, but if you have one you'd share w me ...

Inspired by this post by @rmkubinec.bsky.social: What are your favorite project management tools for academic research? I mainly want to keep track of tasks and discussions, and I don't necessarily need file storage. So something that's free would be preferable. www.robertkubinec.com/post/notion/

In this episode of the JAMA Author Interviews podcast, coauthor Mervyn Singer, MD, discusses the development and validation of the Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA)-2 score with JAMA Associate Editor Christopher Seymour, MD, MSc. 🎧 Listen now: ja.ma/47wiUX0

From @jamanetworkopen.com: The SOFA-2 score updates the 1996 Sequential Organ Failure Assessment, reflecting current definitions, variables, and thresholds to grade organ dysfunction in critically ill adults receiving intensive care. #LIVES2025 @esicm.bsky.social ja.ma/3JuguA7

💬 Editorial: SOFA-2 improves the measurement of organ failure in intensive care by integrating current treatments and data-driven criteria, but further research is needed to address persistent challenges and optimize bedside utility. #LIVES2025 @esicm.bsky.social ja.ma/47pxgZb

😂😂🤣🗣 That is true

A great and informative discussion of peer review. I have too many opinions to go into depth here. My general solution is to better value, in all senses, both peer and editorial review. If peer review was formally counted as work by an academic that might encourage more engagement.
