I don’t care about salacious birthday cards from 25 years ago. I care about public health, upholding of the laws of the country, and supporting the most vulnerable. Among other things. Congress, and Senate, get to work on what’s really important.

Furious that NIH is holding up grant money for a noncompetitive continuation that is supporting a randomized controlled trial in full swing despite approval by the specific institute and money already allocated. Being DOGE’d to ensure no forbidden science. Clinical sites at wit’s end!

One of the best things about scientific conferences is reconnecting with former colleagues. #CPDD25 is full of smart, accomplished addiction researchers, both preclinical and clinical.

The current state of NIH is the epitome of waste- once the scientific institute vets the carry forward request, it goes into a black box where someone (political) outside the scientific institute has to approve the carry forward request before it is released. a thread...🧵

Terrific clinic retreat including Pittsburgh trivia contest - stumping us all on Punk Rock band from PGH in the 1970s-1980s. Breakout groups helped redesign exam rooms to allow providers to face towards patients when on computer. @pittgim.bsky.social

Hard to know how to respond to one after another jaw dropping bits of news from HHS and Kennedy- do we crawl under a bush and hope it just goes away? My weapon is to try to connect with others in a meaningful way in professional and personal life. Others who have different world views.
