Low/minimal-risk research ethics applications should primarily consist of an in-person or teleconferenced 15 minute powerpoint presentation + 15-30 minute Q&A session.

This would reduce the ridiculous amount of paperwork & speed up the process by 10 x.

Change my mind.

One of the most common reasons patients decline indicated admission to hospital, here, especially in regional/rural areas.

The many (more than I knew!) changes in gastrointestinal function that GLP-1 agonists can cause are not uncommon side effects, & may require adaptions in management of certain poisoned patients given anticipated rise in the use of these agents & their potential to alter toxicokinetics of other drugs

Who could ever have imagined when I played a fictional rebel who joined the Resistance to oppose a criminal Authoritarian & wannabe King, it would be happening in real-life?

What happens if someone calls the actual local or state Police, to intercede in ICE activities? πŸ€”

Non-American here.

If ICE "staff" are wandering around acting in a way that both seems unconstitutional, and would normally also contravene criminal codes...

As we adopt speech-to-text software for our Epic DHR, is it petty to take disproportionate joy in sitting there, ordering a scan, and dictating:

"Clinical exam demonstrates XYZ, this could represent ABC or DEF. Suggest radiological correlation." ??

I've spent quite a bit of time in the USA, but we will be avoiding it for the forseeable future.

To be fair, my USA sojourns are usually incidental to visiting Canada, anyway... buuut... πŸ™ƒ

The erosion of trust in science & scientists β€” sometimes due to complex social/historical factors but often deliberately perpetrated by charlatans β€” has tragic, deadly consequences, and, if unchecked, is an existential threat to society.

Listen to your children read. Read to your children. Read alongside your children. Take them to libraries. Talk about what reading means to you & what it can unlock.
Tell them it doesn’t matter if it’s comics, magazines or books as long as they’re engaged with the written word. #WorldBookDay
