I take care of children who DIE of conditions that we can’t prevent and that despite our very best efforts we cannot cure. The fact that CHILDREN DIE of diseases that can be completely eradicated with safe and effective vaccines makes me LIVID.

Proud to work for the @jama.com Network. jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

Has anyone received an NIH LRP award payment disbursed since Jan 20th?

roses are red you’re looking fine indicate in the study Methods how this report follows the CONSORT reporting guideline

So grateful to be selected for this awesome new national K-12!

A Primer on Indirect Cost Rates

This is what amounts to an ILLEGAL & indiscriminate funding cut for research centers everywhere. It will mean shuttering labs across the country, layoffs in red & blue states, and derailing lifesaving research on everything from cancer to opioid addiction. We all need to speak out to save lives.

They are coming after scientists. Everyone should care about this. The next cure or lifesaving device may not get discovered. www.statnews.com/2025/02/07/n...

I ran @USAID health programs for the last 3 years. Trump’s 90 day Stop Work Order on foreign assistance does serious damage to the world and the US. Examples:🧵

Government is like we all chip in and help each with things like food safety or health insurance and sometimes the person we’re helping is you or your dad or sister or kid when they have cancer

An explainer about how health research funding happens and why this NIH funding cycle shutdown matters: www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

I hope University Presidents who like to cozy up to their state’s GOP electeds are on the phone this morning fighting for science. And I hope they learn a lesson or two about using their power for good in the future. www.science.org/content/arti...

All NIH study sections canceled indefinitely. This will halt science and devastate research budgets in universities.

NIH appears to have canceled/postponed all of its study sections—the independent review panels that approve federal grants for health research. Such grants fund the work/salaries of 300k people at more than 2,500 institutions

This is depressing and terrifying. Trump administration’s abrupt cancellation of scientific meetings prompts confusion, concern www.statnews.com/2025/01/22/t... via @statnews.com

I know it’s obvious, but I think it’s still worth saying out loud: Someone who wants to end fact checking wants to be able to lie to you without detection. When lies are undetected, they start to shape our reality. We’re a lot more vulnerable when we can’t tell that a lie is a lie.

My friends in the Dementia world. Please read this and consider what the effects on healthcare for people with Alzheimer’s disease in England would have been if NICE had approved lecanemab and donanemab for NHS use. And, of course, they don’t have clinical efficacy, anyway!

I will never stop being aghast that the United States built a higher education system that was literally the envy of the entire world—our bitterest political enemies nonetheless sent their children to us to be educated, it was so good—& then just decided to systematically, ruthlessly dismantle it

Today seems like a good day to share this Scientific American story on how vaccines have saved more lives throughout history than any other intervention

Since everyone’s finding old and new friends, take a moment to read my story, I’m a 32yo polio survivor because I was not vaccinated. Pass on my story, repeat it, tell it to any vaccine hesitate parent. No kid deserves vaccine preventable diseases www.voicesforvaccines.org/as-a-polio-s...

The American Medical Association surveyed doctors about insurance “prior authorizations” and found: 41 prior auths per doctor per week 13 hours spent per week on prior auths 24% reported hospitalizations due to delays from prior auths 8% reported disability/deaths due to delays from prior auths

Had an awesome time this week interviewing for a new K12 program from #NINDS🤞🏽

Come work with us!

What a game! #LetsGoBlue

THREAD: Research we should be thankful for. The chances that we and everyone we know and love would be here today, alive, healthy and thriving without the advances of science and technology are basically zero. Today we look through the research and scientists to whom we owe everything. 1/19

Submitted my NIH LRP renewal with 2 hours to spare. 😮‍💨 I would normally be embarrassed that it went in last minute except this is the second grant I’ve submitted since my son was born FOUR MONTHS AGO, so I’m gonna celebrate this as a win! #WomenInMedicine

🚨 Attention #MedSky and #Epidemiology friends! 🚨 We are looking for a PhD Junior Faculty or Post-Doc to join the Departments of Neurology and Emergency Medicine at the University of Michigan! Come work with me and please share with your networks! medschool.umich.edu/departments/...

“What radicalized you?” Bro I was told to treat people the way I would want to be treated in kindergarten and it made sense idk what else there is to say

As doctors we know that RFKJr's misinformation poses great danger to public health. We need to tell our Senators to protect and defend our patients' access to quality health care -Reject his appointment! #MedSky Please sign if a Dr, and everyone please share. committeetoprotect.org/stop-rfk-jr/

I would love to tell you about the times vaccines prevented me from getting sick, but every time it happens, I don’t notice. I just keep feeling well. Neither do you. Public health, when it’s working, is invisible.

I miss the old #MedTwitter so much, hoping to reconnect with some old pals and new friends here on BlueSky! I am a public health and stroke researcher and emergency medicine physician at University of Michigan. Say hello!
