tough headline

Then need to staff them with subspecialist pediatricians—a relatively finite workforce

Dr. James Pirruccello identified new genetic factors that help explain why some people develop aortic stenosis by analyzing advanced heart imaging and genetic data from 60,000 healthy participants from the UK Biobank. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

This smells distinctly like collider bias and/or selection bias and/or regression to the mean... You simply can't select teen prodigies, and world class athletes rom databases, and go run regressions without serious consideration of the selection process!

this is perfect

"He took every Advanced Placement class he could, earned a scholarship to Brown and worked at Wawa over the summer to make enough money to buy a laptop, according to his two sisters."

Still don’t understand—why is ‘gifted’ a word? What was wrong with ‘gave’?

This is a cool paper and interesting finding!

This seems like a terrible idea on a number of levels; 1. Risks of dialysis in a healthy person (access, clots, infections, etc…) 2. Systemic exposure to excess oxygen & free radicals from a potent oxygenation agent & toxic gas—ozone 3. Lasering your blood?!?! Hemolysis or even just heat shock

BREAKING: Seattle Children's Hospital successfully fought this summer to get DOJ's invasive trans care subpoena quashed. The Seattle court partially unsealed the case this week. This was the fourth, previously sealed case mentioned in this recent Law Dork report: www.lawdork.com/p/judges-doj...

I found this one truly awful

good new this morning: manuscript accepted! Final form of this pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40894762/ coming soon to @dev-journal.bsky.social. Congratulations to everyone from @ucsanfrancisco.bsky.social @ucsfanesthesia.bsky.social @gladstoneinst.bsky.social, and Alex Clark in @jsauce7.bsky.social's lab.

A massive problem today is the uneven distribution of shame. Some of us are running dedicated on-site shame servers 24/7 while others have no access to shame at all, even though they desperately need it. What we need to do is put shame in the cloud

Agree with the sentiment & approach but IMHO too many people with livelihoods dependent on continued funding for this to work. I hope I’m wrong— a general strike in reviewing (papers & grants) would be an amazing moment of scientific solidarity.

BREAKING: ACIP votes to roll back universal newborn HepB shot. Dr. Meissner: physicians pledge to “do no harm”, and warned, “This will do harm.” The birth dose prevents ~70% of early HBV transmission. When kids get HBV before age 6, 70-90% get chronic disease, and ~1 in 4 go on to liver cancer.

And the total is in! The 2025 #HCWVsHunger total was > 1 million dollars, bringing the 5 year total to over 4.1 million!! Such amazing work by all the teams, especially our top 5 - #DiagnosisAndTreats, #KidVengers, #Mealioidosis, #BrainDocsUnite & #BladesAndBougies!

"are you enjoying duo mobile" does a hamburger enjoy being made of quarks. does a fish enjoy linear time. does the mountain enjoy the first taste of a cup of hot chocolate when you get back to the ski lodge. your question means nothing to me. i couldn't enjoy duo mobile even if i tried

Time to rally folks…Join #KidVengers and help stomp out hunger!!!❤️

Bioinformatics is in shambles at the Denver airport’s acronym game

It’s important to note that there’s no published evidence of this. It has not been verified or published. And the evidence we DO HAVE has shown over & over again that the risk of myocarditis post infection is many times higher than that post vaccine. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41198364/

When kids were dying of COVID & people like Vinay Prasad scoffed at the small #, I had to remind people that kids are statistically less likely to die of almost every disease. But sadly they often go hungry even where resources are plentiful. Donate to help today & log at HCWvsHunger.org

Devo doc on Netflix is so fun. Nothing more entertaining than a bunch of art nerds finding one another and being in the right place at the the right time. A lot of memories listening to hits and misses bootlegs while delivering pizzas in undergrad

@jamespirruccello.com — seeing these cardiac motion papers from O’regan group. Has anyone estimated PA pressures from the TR jet on the cardiac MRIs or anything else must yet?

You don't brine your turkey and you don't season your sides or use fresh herbs. I don't know what to tell you.

A painful truth all dads must learn: if you wear a baseball cap while running around on playground equipment designed for children, the brim will block your upper view and you will bonk your head.

Really important to stress that the Crown Jewels of the US higher education system were never the Ivies or elite SLACs (other countries have equivalents of these) but the well-funded, large, cheap, and excellently staffed public state university systems bringing high quality education to the masses.

Gatekeeping by demanding expensive technology or approaches is the ancient tactic of the rich laboratory.

Idea for dunk contest #1: you compete in pairs. Spices it up, gets into teammate choreography and such Idea for dunk contest #2: It's guys who can barely dunk. Steph, Mike Conley, people like that Idea for dunk contest #3: stop doing the dunk contest

In times like this, It is our civic duty to harken back to 1999s Flat Beat, made specifically for the Flat Eric levis commercial by Mr Oizo youtu.be/qmsbP13xu6k?...

Top five film genres Submarine It's the 1970s and a guy has to do a thing everybody hates It's the 1970s and several guys do a thing but they're having a goof Films by and for morlocks, abhumans, and other tunnel peoples Somebody does a new kind of punching and there's injustice or whatever
