I wish these pieces would call out CHD more, RFK didn't get where he is alone.

I mean, they expressly said hypothesis generation was independent. Would you prefer a Pubmed query string?

By the by, CDC style guide uses epidemiologic not epidemiological. Also I just glanced but this was county areal data?

Personally, I thought this should've been bigger news:

It's quite a time when NEJM is dropping a primary measles case presentation in their latest issue.

Time to handle the new reality it looks like.

Gotta combat populism with umm populism? I just want good faith governance.

I honestly don't even really understand the point to this list, you could get a full PhD on just surveillance. And SER just lumps disease dynamics in like it's a blip.

Don't suppose you have anything around teaching something like intro to epi in the age of genAI?

I thought NIOSH was basically shuttered then forced to rehire. Leadership there never changed?

Where is Congress regarding the dissolution of USAID?

RFK has said in interviews that his zealotry largely comes from his past and current dealings with addiction. I get not alienating vulnerable communities but those are his words.

Dunno about your biostatistics dept but IU's is in danger of being dropped entirely.

Prolly just read Bad Blood

Ah I didn't even realize you could interact with the lines

Shouldn't that be a forest plot?

We have posted data providing real-time measurement of human neutralizing antibody landscape to seasonal influenza.

Data explain spread of subclades K (H3N2) & D.3.1.1 (H1N1), identify subclade K subvariants w reduced neutralization, & can inform choice of strains for next vaccine.

The saddest part is the complete denial and zero remorse.

Bloomington tornado damages airport, homes, bank Tornado damage reported in Bloomington, Indiana, with homes, a bank, and the county airport affected. Over 1,800 customers were without power.

Mine, too.

"This happens for the simple reason that one must be lucky twice."

"Increasingly, many of these factors are captured in a Bayesian (as opposed to frequentist) interpretation of trials..."

"Lowering capital costs ... lofty and rising drug prices for everyday Americans."

It wasn't "replication is lucky twice" and Bayes will save all the moneys?

One Pivotal Trial, the New Default Option for FDA Approval — Ending the Two-Trial Dogma | NEJM This Sounding Board announces a new FDA policy that the default requirement for FDA approvals will be one robust pivotal trial plus confirmatory evidence, rather than two trials.

This was absolutely written with ChatGPT.

Careful, using a word like equitable will get your funding pulled.

The Incubation Periods of Mpox Virus Clade Ib | Annals of Internal Medicine Background: Mpox virus (MPXV) clade Ib, first detected in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) in September 2023, spread internationally within months, prompting an emergency declaration from th...

"median incubation period from exposure to rash was 13.6 days (95% credible interval [CrI], 9.6 to 19.0 days). Five percent of cases are expected to develop a rash within 3.1 days (CrI, 1.3 to 5.5 days) and 95% within 32.3 days (CrI, 22.4 to 45.8 days)."

Yeah but really this just touches on the elephant in the room regarding doctor shortages and burnout. I get people are suspicious but what's the alternative? More unbilled time consuming work for the doctor? Ultimately, I think notes are better with the software but yes, restraints are needed.

If it was something like DAX then it's only a draft that the clinician has to review and transfer to the EHR. I'm not really aware of one that directly writes to the record but it's a new space.

Seems like quite a lot of context is missing. Would you object to proprietary dictation software? Was it a summary transcription for review or directly inserted into the encounter note? Is it something the PCP should remember? Was/could it be billable?

Those are reported cases so it's likely missing many actual infections but that's the case for every surveillance system. Politics-wise, I was an epidemiologist in South Carolina and Dr. Bell is a strict professional and I'd be extremely surprised if she were to be swayed.
