Mahmoud Khalil is finally home with his beautiful wife and newborn son. Each one of the 104 days he spent detained was a grave injustice. From the moment of his detention, @ccrjustice.org + @aclu.org engaged my office as we worked closely to help secure his release. They did remarkable work here.

This is so exciting! The German National Library of Medicine @zbmed.bsky.social just had its first open meeting on the plan for an open & independent PubMed safety net.

I’m an #InfectiousDiseases physician who has treated patients with #measles. There is zero evidence that budesonide, clarithromycin, or cod liver oil help. Vitamin A can be used to reduce risk of eye complications. Pushing unproven treatments undermines trust in CDC and public health.

SSPE is just the worst thing in w world. It can occur years after a measles infection

Writing up a study that uses consensus methods? Check out ACCORD: journals.plos.org/plosmedicine...

Hello! Just need half a dozen more for a reporting guidelines starter pack...

The ACCORD explanation & elaboration has been published in PLoS Medicine -- all 67 pages (and supplement) of it, to answer any questions you may have journals.plos.org/plosmedicine...

Read our editorial on the need for communication and collaboration when developing reporting guidelines @equatornetwork.bsky.social

Members of the ACCORD group are debating data visualisation options for their upcoming @ismpp.bsky.social poster.

Nothing will kill more children than the ongoing decimation of CDC, NIH, and USAID work to lift vaccine uptake in the US and world. Child survival rose 75% in the last 50 years. Vaccines account for 40% of that. Measles vax alone was 60% of the benefit. www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

Even when not heard immediately it is important to lay the groundwork

Researchers at Aberdeen Uni are looking for ppl in rural & island Scotland to help shape research into healthcare provision for specific medical conditions. Check out the link for more info on the project & how to get involved. www.abdn.ac.uk/iahs/academi... #RuralHealth #IslandHealth

Great to see @ippin.bsky.social on here. Added to the #PPI starter pack (see below). It's almost at capacity so if you work in #PublicInvolvement and/or #CoProduction in health & care research and would like to be added let me know soon. When it's full someone else will need to start a new one!

Today marks the 3rd anniversary of the #SharedCommitment to Public Involvement in Health and Social Care Research. We, and the many other organisations that have signed up, continue in our commitment to bring about changes that will improve the practice of PPI in health and social care research.

Patient partner research has a compensation crisis. Lived experience is central to meaningful research, but participants face a labyrinth of institutional barriers to fair payment -- if it's offered at all, by @amyprice.bsky.social @dawnrichards.bsky.social www.bmj.com/content/388/... via @bmj.com

Congrats to Joseph Nano, MPH'23, pictured here with his fantastic mentor Catherine H. Saunders, MPH, PhD, of the Hex Lab, for presenting his consideRATE poster at the recent Dartmouth Cancer Center Retreat.

His illegal protesters received federal pardons! Some of them were rightfully serving jail sentences. They destroyed government property, assaulted officers etc. Seems to be a disconnect here....
