One for my paper with @katefu24.bsky.social using 6 LLMs to show they scored better than 75% of students in my introductory biomedical informatics course. (Figure displayed showing correct answers on the final exam, which is not only easily passed but was completed in about 60 seconds by the LLMs.)

This book is superb. I have a LOT of thoughts about patient empowerment and restructuring the health system (to benefit both patients and docs), and I would have written this book, if I were able. But I don't have the skills of @crblease.bsky.social! open.substack.com/pub/patients...

There are many worse things the Trump Administration has done but this one hits close to home for me. One of the things that the US government does very well is create high-quality data sets and tools to use them. It is sad to lose these tremendous resources.

Honest question: WTAF is the rationale for eliminating a safety rule on an amputating device?
The Consumer Product Safety Commission just scrapped a table saw safety rule that could have prevented amputation injuries and saved over $2B in healthcare costs a year.

This comes months after Trump fired all three Democratic CPSC members.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but the CDC is being eviscerated right now. America is not going to have any kind of outbreak response capacity after tonight. Americans’ health data is no longer secure. Say goodbye to federal public health in any capacity. It’s a disaster. We won’t recover.
