"what matters is not what's spent but what is built"

Keep this guy away from the SECDEF.

This BCBS policy is like NFL teams getting charged a timeout for a rejected challenge - except I trust NFL referees' call more www.beckerspayer.com/payer/bcbs-m...

USAID friends are asking this video be shared on social media at 5:30pm eastern, as E**n M**k has spent $40M on a Super Bowl ad to trash USAID, which accounts for 1% of the federal budget. Please spread the word. youtu.be/PqUESHfuO_8

If you're a pediatrician, pls ask info@pasmeeting.org to include Bluesky on PAS 2025 as an attendees' profile social media option. Right now, it's just X, LinkedIn, and FB.

Clinical descriptors of hematuria were more colorful 60 yrs ago. Like this from the Acute GN chapter of the 1957 ed. of Fishberg.

Match results are out and #pedneph report not looking good for maintaining the future workforce. 9 programs filled (vs 20 last year), lower % of positions filled, and 10 less fellows entering training this year. #nephsky #pedsky @asnkidney.bsky.social @abpeds.bsky.social

Love that #TEFCA opening video at #ASTP2024 led with the term "clinicians" although slipped at times and used "providers"
