✨ Just wrapped up the 18th and final Kathleen M. Foley Palliative Care Retreat & Research Symposium in Banff — and I feel reinvigorated.

What an incredible gathering to celebrate 20 years of research, collaboration, and innovation led by the National Palliative Care Research Center (NPCRC).

It’s been a whirlwind of a month…

✅ Year 4 of my R01 is officially funded—excited to keep the momentum going.

📝 The new R01 we submitted in February was reviewed earlier this week… and it wasn’t discussed. Not the outcome we hoped for, but we’ll regroup.

Science is a long game. Onward.

D102 IMPORTANT TOPICS IN CRITICAL AND ACUTE CARE

Expertly led by Curt Weiss, Liz Viglianti, and Bob Lee.

Great discussion about heterogeneity in healthcare. Thinking about the concepts of justified versus unjustified variability!

What a great session! #ATS2025

Expertly moderated by Andrew, Jacky, and Kelly.

My thoughts? In the ICU, start with values, not goals. Goals change with prognosis; values don’t. Knowing what matters most to a patient anchors care in what’s meaningful, not just what’s possible.

A T32. So sorry to this team @columbiauniversity.bsky.social and the trainees this supported.

My real concern isn’t just the NIH funding cuts, it’s that people are right when they say no one outside academic medicine will notice (or really even care).

NIH study sections are being canceled or postponed at the last minute, wasting countless hours of scientists' time and delaying critical research funding. This instability threatens scientific progress and patient care. NIH needs to fix this - fast. #NIHStudySection

Excited that our guideline on family-centered care in the ICU is now available on PubMed!

Proud to contribute to the mission of creating a more compassionate and effective ICU environment.

Hearing wrapping up. TRO stays in place for now. Judge to rule on whether to issue a preliminary injunction within the next few days, previously said she'll work "as quickly as I can given the importance of the case."

Judge closes with: "Thank you--I have a lot of work to do."

Yeah.

So much negative news, it’s nice when something brightens your day.

MVP of the Neuro ICU, with the nicest thank you card.

It’s a pleasure to work with such thoughtful, kind individuals.

Apparently, the University of Washington School of Medicine has frozen all non-clinical hiring in response to the Trump/Musk administration attacks on science and science funding.

Destroying healthcare to own the libs.

Happy Birthday Randy.

Your wisdom and guidance are missed, now more than ever.

It's beyond frustrating that DOGE keeps claiming they've "identified fraud" when, in reality, they've just flagged programs they don't like. Labeling something as fraud implies intentional deception or misconduct. This kind of overreach undermines legitimate efforts to root out actual fraud.
