MD/PhD, Academia => Biotech => Pharma/HealthIT => PE/VC. Immunology, medicine,dermatology, clinical trials, EDC, RWE, AI
Absolutely right - happens in business too. Not just academia.

Well known problem for pet bird owners. Leaving a Teflon pan on the stove to overheat kills pet birds.

Protests against Israel started en masse with marches in the streets of major cities on October EIGHTH - literally the DAY AFTER the Oct. 7th attack, before Israel had done anything but defend its citizens and secure its border with Gaza.

Ophthalmologist. Not optometrist. Trained at Duke Medical School.

It is shocking how many confounded and poorly done observational studies are published and widely publicized, leading to premature or incorrect conclusions by physicians and the public alike. At OptumLabs, we worked on methodology to blind and standardized the conduct and analysis of RWD.

Share your outrage and other emotions. But reading comprehension. The 2 yo did not die. She had a miscarriage.

Ditto Strep pneumonia. Bacterial, not viral. Herd immunity is irrelevant.

This list is NOT a list of viral illnesses. Malaria is a parasite. Diphtheria, pertussis and tetanus are bacterial diseases. Herd immunity is irrelevant to them. Speak accurately if you are speaking definitively.

This is on par with RFK Jr talking about the phylum of all viruses.

Perplexity. Totally different experience. Not perfect but very reliable.

Thought the same thing this am when I read the article. The counterpoint concerns the idea that life isn’t just about achievement in your field.

This is, in fact, correct using the newest tactic of multi-year funding. NCI paylone dropped from 10% to 4%.

Thwarted in efforts to reduce the NIH budget, the White House has adopted a new tactic. Force the NIH to pay out a multi-year grant all in the first year, exhausting the NIH budget with ~60% fewer grants. Labs will close everywhere and future year budgets can be spent on junk science.
New, from an anonymous NIH insider: Trump is being pushed to spend more NIH money. The White House is ordering NIH to do multi-year budgets for awards. This budget trick means fewer awards, fewer labs funded, and lower paylines for researchers. 🧵
