(1/3) Pediatric health care and strong public health agencies are two planks in the foundation of children’s health and wellbeing. CDC has long been a leading resource for research and evidence-backed recommendations on how to keep children healthy.

The abrupt attempt to oust Dr. Susan Monarez, the CDC’s director just weeks after her Senate confirmation, is yet another glaring sign of Secretary Kennedy’s failed leadership and reckless mismanagement. www.apha.org/news-and-med...

Australia 121 adults with long COVID reported severe daily limitations. 86% percent had clinically significant disability and quality of life scores 23 points below national norms, especially in vitality and social function. www.publish.csiro.au/PY/PY25033

CU Anschutz researchers are transforming how we understand and treat traumatic brain injuries. CCTSI program director, Adit Ginde, MD, and other experts share how at the latest Transforming Healthcare event.

The brutal arrest of a Senator asking a question at a press conference, the threat of Marines being unleashed on the public, and the attack on science are all symptoms of the same illness. When we are punished for asking questions and striving for better, we are no longer free. #Standupforscience

This is real and critical to pay attention to. Clinical and Translational Sciences Institutes are NIH funded and work to ensure that discoveries reach the people.

A recent congressional letter to Secretary Kennedy expresses deep concerns about potential HHS reorg plans that could affect AHRQ. Contact your congressional reps to ensure that any AHRQ reforms involve Congress and stakeholders. #SupportAHRQ ow.ly/aPUe50VjnQe

The indispensable role of AHRQ in supporting rural health innovation must be protected. Contact your reps to ensure reforms are developed in partnership with all stakeholders, as called for by Congressional leaders. #SupportAHRQ #RuralHealth ow.ly/aPUe50VjnQe

Whenever you welcome guests, treat them with kindness, grace and respect. Simple as that.

Jack Posobiec, a prominent influencer, has a long history of promoting antisemitic and white supremacist content. He traveled to Ukraine with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent last week.

NIH review sections and council meetings still cancelled through a loophole effectively halting the NIH's ability to award any new grants! This will have severely negative effects on research, science and health!

This is right, and scientists should read this thread. Musk’s last decade of behavior is driven by a fight: tech billionaires against Silicon Valley engineers and scientists. Now he’s bringing that class war to government. And NIH/NSF. He wants to oppress scientists.

"Without research to point toward a healthier country, there will be poorer national health and less capacity to do what people do...on either end of the political spectrum." Read the Editorial by JAMA Health Forum EIC Sandro Galea and JAMA EIC @kbibbinsdomingo.bsky.social. ja.ma/4b6Z2LJ #MedSky

President Trump ended his press avail with the King of Jordan by answering a question about how his Arab-American voters were unhappy with his Gaza policy. He said he won Michigan, with its large Arab population, by 30 points. He won it by 1.4 points. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_Un...

⚠️ BREAKING: Marin County, California, is investigating a potential case of H5N1 bird flu in a child. Local authorities are working alongside the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) and the CDC to determine the source of the child's exposure.

I‘m curious how many patients had input on this???

This is still true. It will remain true however high such individuals are promoted.

This original research study highlights patients who saw their own family physician for after-hours care were 10% less likely to visit the ER within a week, suggesting that continuity of care may improve outcomes, reduce ER visits & lower health care costs. www.annfammed.org/content/22/6...
