#LCSM please share with your network
The University of Sheffield, supported by the Ruth Strauss Foundation, is running an anonymous 30 min survey for people in the UK with non-smoking #lungcancer.

It aims to understand what information is most helpful & where support can be improved. #LCSM

One of my friends has a grant from the #FDA to look at disparities in clinical trial research and just submitted a manuscript with the findings. She was told today by the collaborators from the #FDA to rescind it.

#Censorhip has started, we are living in authoritarian government.
US FDA drops web pages on improving clinical trial diversity
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has pulled draft guidance from its website requiring companies to test medicines and devices in diverse populations as part of a purge of diversity, equity and inclusion efforts at U.S. health agencies.

If the House GOP rejects this CR and doesn't find an alternative means to pass its key healthcare provisions, starting January 1st, almost all Medicare beneficiaries will lose access to telehealth and for the fraction for whom it remains an option, they won't be able to access it from home.#medsky

I don't know who needs to know this, but Pro Publica has an online thing that will format a letter to your US health insurance company to demand the records behind a claim denial. (which the insurance is then legally required to provide in most cases)

Pediatricians are just complete badasses

We make the least amount of money, our patients can’t vote, anti-vax movements are exploding, and we respond by raising money to feed those in need

It doesn’t need to be a contest. We are *always* 1st place

Where are my NYC folks at? Did you know that #GivingTuesday was started by the @92ndstreety.bsky.social in good old NYC in 2012? There are still a few hours left to donate to #HCWvsHunger I just made another donation and it still takes less than five minutes. Let’s Go! #MedSky #DiagnoseAndTreats
🥳Will we be throwing confetti before #HCWvsHunger ends at midnight tonight 12/3/24?

$3 MILLION total to #FightHunger since we began in 2020 is within our reach, & we believe in #MedSky! Message fam/friends to donate & remember to log all #GivingTuesday & employer matches!

#LetsGo! Finish strong!

OMG! They have TOTES! 💙❤️
We’ll allow it because there is in fact nothing better than #HCWvsHunger merch. Except feeding people. And this does both! All merch proceeds benefit anti hunger orgs!

Good science saves people’s lives and it turns out, often times their money 🧬🩺🔬🌡️
“NIH produces an astounding return on investment to the American taxpayer. In Fiscal Year 2022, NIH research funding supported 568,585 jobs and generated $96.84 billion in economic activity — that’s $2.64 of economic activity for every $1 of research funding.”
www.researchamerica.org/2023-oped-us...
Research supported by NIH has led more than 100 Nobel Prizes and has supported more than 99% of drugs approved by federal regulators from 2010 to 2019.
But come January, NIH may face a wrecking ball

It’s a wonderful day to be grateful for vaccines! A reminder the HPV vaccine has nearly completely wiped out cervical cancer in Scotland
