My interview with @jeremyfaust.bsky.social is now live!
We talked about instability in life as an early career scientist, the importance of policy in research, and more. Process is incredibly important for science, and the process is failing me.
I put a thread of some of my favorite clips below!

From @jeremyfaust.bsky.social
“Doctors and scientists quickly said the data didn't support the president's claim, but emergency room orders for Tylenol, or acetaminophen, for pregnant patients went down 10% in the months that followed”

📉 Tylenol use in the ED dropped >10% among pregnant patients
📈 leucovorin rx jumped 93% among kids 5-17 immediately afterwards

NYC’s mayor @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social made a superb choice here.
It also gave me the joy of being able to talk about a colleague on national television, as he assumes the role of #NYC Health Commissioner.
The city is in great hands with Dr @alisterfmartin.bsky.social.
Appreciate you @jeremyfaust.bsky.social!
Looking forward to this next chapter!
Sadly, one of us has aged since this one, and it is me.
Small piece of trivia, but I invited Al to give his first international talk! (A session I co-chaired).
He gave a talk on initiation of buprenorphine in ERs, well before that was catching on.
Here we are in Sydney, with cardiology research legend Dr. Barbra Backus.

I stand by this.
Here we are when he was working in the White House…
