@ianlmorgan.bsky.social laying out how early career researchers are particularly being harmed in this moment. I think most of us would LOVE “radical transparency” and increased innovation in research. Right now we are facing the exact opposite

Does this count?

Messaged my provider this AM, I guess I am not “anyone”. #Medsky #IDSky

Some might say this is partisan behavior, but all of the “non-partisan” behavior I have seen involves limited transparency and destroying systems. Eager to see how the new “CDC leadership” works to regain trust. Open to being proven wrong, but I still am waiting on a clear vision of what is success…

PREHDS has a two-factor structure, and we selected six items with strong internal consistency and expected correlations. The tool is for parents and caregivers across pediatric settings, and for researchers and health systems that need a practical way to assess and track their experiences.

This is also my sentiment. AI can be a tool for people, but all tools have their flaws and limitations. Declarations that AI on its own will solve problems that take critical thinking, explanation when wrong, and cautious communication are in conflict with the predictive outputs generated by AI.

Was very moved by this point, so I made a video about it!

If you want “transparency and innovation” in research, you don’t create an environment full of chaos and dissent. You listen, lead, and provide a clear target for the people who are relying on you!

These results show who is more likely to report discrimination which could possibly lead to a breakdown in trust. Better data, especially with more granular racial groups, can sharpen that picture and guide change. Consequences of discrimination are important (come to my dissertation defense)

We analyzed 12 years of Health and Retirement Study data. Black adults in middle age were more likely than White adults to report discrimination, that gap narrowed later. Reports were also higher among people who were uninsured, had depressive symptoms, arthritis, more doctor visits, or higher BMI.

Here is a clip of him speaking about this (alongside saying some other incredibly worrying and problematic things). This is incredibly ill-informed and goes directly against scientific evidence!

To do health disparities research you MUST consider social factors. Despite statements suggesting that “health disparities are still acceptable to research” this definition of DEI contradicts that.

Russ Vought said last week that an entire institute of the NIH is DEI (referring to NIMHD).

Radical transparency and innovation in science facilitated through (checks notes), the footnote of a single document by someone who is not a scientist

Discussed some of the implications of this in a video #MedSky

Here’s an overview of the main findings for the #Zoomers (me)

This figure is presented in the supplement & illustrates the racial distribution of participants for whom we could analyze race and data (summarized based on NIH/OMB categories).
July 22, 2025 at 12:32 AM
This figure shows which characteristics of the studies included indicated a higher likelihood of reporting race and ethnicity. Early-stage trials, interventional (drug) trials, and studies NIH funded studies were most likely to report race and ethnicity #ClinicalTrials

This story really moved me so I decided to make a TikTok about it.

I am eager to see how this in any way makes it easier to do “innovative science” (I’m highly doubtful!)

Once again the #Chargers Season is over before it started 💔💔

I have an idea for how we can have more scientific innovation with 1/3 less support!

I thought I could enjoy the farm team for my Orioles (Norfolk Tide) since they were visiting town for the 4th of July. I later found out I bought tickets for a batting practice for the Durham Bulls 💔💔💔

A lot of our health issues in America take both present-day and future investment. We are seeing a pullback in both which is clearly going to impact our future! Provided some thoughts on this NYT article in this video.

Got an ad in the mail for an immigration lawyer (never received one of these in the 3.5 years I’ve been at my home)

Sad stuff! In the US where we have achieved so many amazing things because of immigration, only accepting those who can get personal counsel does not lead to innovation or prosperity!

One of the scariest questions I get now that I’m at the end of my PhD program (hopefully) is “What’s Next?”

No one can predict the future, but here are a few things I’m thinking about as principles I value!
