Was a moderator on this panel. It was inspiring to hear so many senior scientists not mince words about the negative impact the One Big Beautiful Bill will have on cardiovascular health and the health of our nation. They spoke in plain language, and the audience left with some clear action items.

I’ve flown like 4 times all year and I have 4 flights (including connections) over the next week.

Am I cooked? 🥀🥀🥀

Requesting people change their grant titles b/c you disagree with them certainly does not seem like “radical transparency”, or “gold standard science”. Seems more like “censorship” to me, but who knows…

Thank you so much!!

Thank you!!!

Thank you!! Certainly a tough time to pursue this whole academic thing but I’m hopeful that good science will still matter!

Passed my dissertation defense 👀🤭

Wow. Harvard nuking its PhD programs

- Science PhD admissions reduced by more than 75%
- Arts & Humanities reduced by about 60%
- Social Sciences by 50–70%
- History by 60%
- Biology by 75%
- The German department will lose all PhD seats
- Sociology from six PhD students to zero

So...

I am hearing from a couple of sources about warnings that citing grants in publications may be used to target investigators for association with "DEI" or other unmentionables.

I am trying to get better information.

“Framing this reduction of fellowships solely as a hit to the poor trainees and their career aspirations is perpetuating this mistake.

It would be far better to explain to all and sundry how the reduction in F31 support is a functional reduction in research funding.”

Journals and publishers crack down on research from open health data sets PLOS, Frontiers, and others announce policies trying to stem the tide of suspect research

What I was referring to: www.science.org/content/arti...

Not entirely related, but this makes me think about how some journals are deciding to auto-reject studies of NHANES data to combat the issue of paper mills. I think a lot of literature muddies the water, but I’m struck by the immense pressures on BOTH our data and the dissemination of good science

In our new piece in @bmj.com, @michaeldgreen.com & I argue that diversity matters when it comes to medical school admission not only for fairness, equality, & equity but also because research shows that population health outcomes are better with a diverse medical workforce

A matter of life & death

Cleansing your feed to let you know that my 1st practice dissertation defense today went well! 8 days left to shape things up and show all I know!

The Trump administration and its allies have taken several steps to ensure that medical schools in the US dismantle all diversity, equity, and inclusion policies.

It is patients who will be the victims of this, write @gavinyamey.bsky.social and @michaeldgreen.com

“The intent of all these actions is clear: to terminate policies that create a diverse medical workforce—one that looks like America—and which has doctors with lived experience that gives them insights into their patients’ lives.”

Because lived experience is critical to the delivery of care #MedSky

@ianlmorgan.bsky.social laying out how early career researchers are particularly being harmed in this moment. I think most of us would LOVE “radical transparency” and increased innovation in research. Right now we are facing the exact opposite

Thank you for all you do! It gives me hope that despite attempts to make it grim, there is a future possible where we still innovate and improve the health of people!

YES!

We cite evidence showing: Black patients wait longer in the ER to be seen by a clinician (pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26454472/), clinicians show racial bias in their assessment of a patient's credibility (pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24378807/), & there are large racial inequalities in health outcomes

In a country where the race, gender, ethnicity, and SES of individuals dramatically shape their lived experience and health outcomes, claiming that medicine is blind to these factors is malpractice!

Even if it’s complicated, it’s still important to think about diversity, equity, and inclusion!

Not a typical post (🧵) on here, but just over 6 months ago, I successfully defended my dissertation alongside friends, family, my committee, and many loved ones. It was a wonderful day, and I have so many people to thank for their support over the past 3 years and more!

(1/3)

Initial submission of my dissertation is out the door 🫡. Clearly an easy task during these lighthearted and untroubling times.

I’m even hearing this is the best time in a while to be an expert in something!

Curious about the implications of this for Masters students?? A lot of people don’t go straight from undergrad…

Killing Rural Hospitals by Executive Order The government claims it cares about rural healthcare. Its actions say otherwise.

As a physician-scientist who was recently on an H-1B, studying many things including the physician workforce, last week’s executive order hit home. I wrote about it, and what it could mean for healthcare in the US, especially in Rural America. On Adverse Reaction! open.substack.com/pub/adverser...

Remember correlation is not causation

Wouldn’t even have a prototype out yet, and we’d probably raise $100 million in funding 😭😭
