Oh no - now I gotta go 👔shopping! 😂 Maybe I’ll bring a tie?! 🤔😂

Always a pleasure to host on Thanksgiving day - a great excuse for me to cook - we had 15 people, but I cooked for thirty 😊 #HappyThankGiving🍁 #DoctorsWhoCook #MedFoodSky

A no fuss pre- #Thanksgiving dinner for the PGY2 & the college senior. Israeli schnitzels, calamarata in pesto, arugula, pickles & focaccia baked nearby #DoctorsWhoCook

The week after #Thanksgiving break will be amazing! We’ll have a holiday party and a special guest @ipfdoc.bsky.social !!!

Why am I not surprised? Tattoo ink is retained within phagocytic cells, induces a prominent and long-term inflammatory response, with elevated levels of proinflammatory cytokines & modulation of vaccine immune responses #NotHarmless www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

DOGE GOT DOGED - after delivering NO benefit to the American People & potentially putting our health at risk, the purge agency is disbanded. Now it’s time to DOGE RFK & team of charlatans and vote all those that facilitate this travesty out #VoteThemOut www.thedailybeast.com/musks-doge-q...

Really cool! Matrix metalloproteinases & disease severity among PI*MZ and PI*ZZ individuals in the Genomic Research in Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency & Sarcoidosis (GRADS) cohort. Kudos Drs Tejwani, Strange & team & GRADS investigators #FundedByNHLBI bmjopenrespres.bmj.com/content/12/1...

A friend I met in Atlanta #Caturday

Finally a good animal model of human Pulmonary Fibrosis? The Ferret bleomycin shares IPF features including: patchy distribution of fibrotic foci, honeycomb cyst-likes, ⬆️ blood MMP7, KL6, presence aberrant epithelial basaloid cells. Kudos DrsWu, Liu & team #CureIPF www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Honored to be invited to give the annual Ronald H. Ingram Jr. Lecture at the Division of Pulmonary, Allergy, Critical Care and Sleep Medicine at Emory University School of Medicine. Great to meet so many amazing clinicians, researchers, educators & trainees #FutureIsBright #PulmIsBest

So sad to walk by the CDC, the once proud US government agency, see the posters commemorating past success in fighting for public health in the US, knowing that it is now controlled by charlatans, grifters and anti vexers. #RIPCDC

The website is changed 👇🏼

Cassidy betrayed his voters, and his professional oath as a physician, bu voting and supporting people who do harm. Simple.

I am so tired of “full responsibility” that involves no action and “shame” that kicks in only upon public disclosure.

Not sure why @lpachter.bsky.social did not post this here. But it is brilliant. Single cell genomics finally makes it to the clinic.

Amazing attendance at the Yale Center for Asthma and Airway Disease 2025: Moving Towards a Unified Approach for the Management of Asthma and COPD #ScienceMatters #CureCOPD #CureAsthma

The most irritating in talks is a speaker saying of course ““I recognize that I’m the only thing standing between us and lunch”’ (or dinner) which is usually a guarantee that the talk will go on forever

True story: Nature comms Editor when asking for #PeerReview: Please return review within 10-14 days. Nature Comms editor when asked about r2 paper in review for 70(!) days: sorry, we’ll return to you in a week or so. Then they'll charge you $6.8K to publish YOUR work. System is broken.

Authors can strike. Imagine if for one months the world’s top 5% researchers did not submit papers to for profit publishers? 👇🏼

time to end the exploitation! Researchers should get a part of the profits make on their publications. Reviewers should be paid for reviewing. Simple. #Pay4MyPapers #Pay4PeerReview

We wrote the Strain on scientific publishing to highlight the problems of time & trust. With a fantastic group of co-authors, we present The Drain of Scientific Publishing: a 🧵 1/n Drain: arxiv.org/abs/2511.04820 Strain: direct.mit.edu/qss/article/... Oligopoly: direct.mit.edu/qss/article/...

Tell me the system is broken without telling me. “Pressure to publish is rising as research time & resources shrink” finds a survey of scientists made by a publisher who makes billions in profit, charges thousands from authors & never pays reviewers. #Pay4PeerReview www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Who would've thunk? In a multicenter randomized clinical trial including 200 patients with persistent AF undergoing cardioversion, the risk of recurrent AF was SIGNIFICANTLY ⬇️ in the group allocated to coffee consumption (47%) compared to abstinent group (64%). #ScienceMatters #DoctorsWhoLoveCoffee

Who said there were no reproducible biomarkers for IPF progression/mortality? MMP7 alone or in combination with CCL18 predicted increased risk of death or FVC decline in 1280 IPF patients in ISABELA 1 & 2. Kudos Drs Randall, Bauer & Isabela investigators. publications.ersnet.org/content/erjo...

One of the curiosities of genomics history is that James Watson was vehemently against cDNA sequencing (for ESTs), and fought with Craig Venter & Bernadine Healy who championed it. Tl;dr Watson ended up resigning from the HGP, Venter plowed ahead... and we now have #scRNAseq.

I also hate carrying umbrella! Also i never had an umbrella for more then 6 hours 👇🏼

fwiw: we already know the EtOH increases a fib. www.nejm.org/doi/full/10....

Finally in print - The 1st publication in the New England Journal of Medicine describing the devastation of healthcare infrastructure & horrors in Gaza, calling on US Medicine to break silence. And yes it’s still relevant after the ceasefire #SilenceIsComplicity www.nejm.org/doi/full/10....

Of the thousands of words written about Mamdani’s hostorical victory in NYC, Etan nechin’s in Haaretz is by far the best. I highly recommend: “Mamdani's win was more than a repudiation of Trumpism – it was a rejection of Bidenism” ejection of Bidenism” #MustRead

Wow! I just read all 41 posts in this fascinating 🧵 about Watson by @jeremymberg.bsky.social I guess by now we know that many of the scientists and artists whose work we admire were pretty horrible people - let’s hope current & next generations are better #MustRead

I also read it in high school - but I bought it. Nobody in my family cared about DNA - but I still loved it 👇🏼

Bluetorial-Jim Watson I met Jim Watson a few times but did not know him well. However, I was greatly influenced by his book “The Double Helix”. He was a complicated human being with some very, very bad features, but some good contributions. What follows is my personal perspective. 1/41

If I'm doing the math correctly, Musk's big pay packet yesterday could have made each of these now-dead people millionaires instead. He is among the sickest men the world has ever produced.
