I’ve been working in R and tidyverse for years, and somehow just discovered XLOOKUP in Excel. What a joy.

My Navy told me the Red Sea keeps swallowing its planes so I asked how many planes it has and it said it just goes to Lockheed Martin and gets a new plane afterwards so I said it sounds like it's just feeding planes to the Red Sea and the defense secretary started crying

We're in a really bad spot with supposedly reputable journals regularly publishing dodgy stuff that expert/stats review should easily catch.

So expert review isn't happening consistently, for reasons we all understand in our bones.

It's a dream for malicious actors who can shop "papers" as needed.

No lawmaker in Congress should be able to own, buy, and sell individual stocks.

We need to ban congressional stock trading—and I've got a bill for that.

🧵Masked ICE thugs attempted to abduct the school nurse at Cooke Elementary School, located in the densely populated Adams Morgan section of DC. Workers at the school intervened, demanding a warrant and holding up their phones and ICE scurried off without making their arrest.

Thinking about adding a standard slide to the beginning of all my talks saying something about the NIH funding freeze/asking people to call their representatives. Nothing radical- just a little reminder for people that things aren’t normal. What do folks think?

@seanfennessey.bsky.social in the British Movies podcast, I feel the omission of Jason Statham’s performance in Lock, Stock, & Two Smoking Barrels was an oversight. Could also be a fun rewatchable.

I absolutely love this idea.

So- will medical societies knuckle under along with the tech companies? Will we go along to get along? Is there a line? Shuttering the NIH, CDC… violations of the oath? We gotta get some kind of joint statement going or something.

Vexus is a great tool when assessing fluid status in patients with CKD and heart failure. Today, we assumed that a 60-year-old 👵 had achieved dry-weight. However, vexus showed this! Now we are increasing the diuretics 💁 #pocus #vexus

I love the conspicuous lack of algorithm. Day-1 FB. ‘Here are people you chose to follow, and what they are saying’. And sometimes, there’s nothing new. You can reach the end. So you stop scrolling.

Definitely worth a read if you‘re interested in venous return physiology and how it relates to Vexus.

At the risk of political doomsaying- how do people think the US election is going to affect academic medical research? Feels like bsky is the place to have conversations like these. @iwashyna.bsky.social

It’s happening! At midnight thousands of autoworkers strategically shut down three huge plants.

For the first time ever the UAW is striking the three big companies simultaneously.

And all of us should support them, because this strike could help the whole working class.
