@billhersh.bsky.social is another great example…. he’s practically the king of volunteers @amia.org He has contributed immensely to the organization over the 40 years he has been participating on the conference. #amia2025

For example, @smcgrath.phd began as a student working group member, which led him to become a working group chair. That experience opened major professional opportunities for him and unlocked new leadership roles within AMIA too! #amia2025

Our university’s NIH CTSA (Clinical and Translational Science Award) was just cancelled for having some keywords that just mean it will serve ALL people in Utah. This funds research that moves discovery science into clinical therapies. This is literally the mandate of the NIH! 😰 🧪

When Elon was a kid, survival for ALL, the most common childhood cancer, was <10% Now it’s >90% due to funded collaboratives (high indirect costs) whose work ultimately SAVES THOUSANDS OF LIVES EVERY YEAR. For other cancers there’s still so much progress to be made. I think it’s worth it.

Strongly disagree. Health Informatics has been training professionals in this space for over 50 years, with established certifications, accreditation requirements, conferences, and professional organizations. Let’s unify efforts!

Americans spend much less time socializing today compared to 20 years ago — perhaps a driver of discontent in the US. A notable exception is the rich, whose decline is miniscule compared to every other group. cc:@dkthomp.bsky.social

Imagine the 2034 Olympic Games with no snow on the ground and air pollution. A great way to showcase Utah to the world! I see zero urgency to address this issue (for the games or otherwise).

Indianapolis: my first work trip with a new company. I booked a hotel within walking distance of the office, I like to walk, but the next morning, I found it impossible to cross a highway to get there. I ended up having to call an Uber, for a trip that was less than a mile.

If you live in Utah and hate the inversion, here are the sources. And you probably guessed it right: cars are the biggest source of pollution, followed by buildings. Transit and heat pumps are the most sensible solutions. If you care, please consider contacting your state legislators.
Graphic with the causes of winter inversion in Utah. Cars are responsible for 48%, buildings for 39%, and industry for 13%. Source https://www.utahfoundation.org/reports/utah-priorities-2016-issue-2-air-quality/

The "bluesky is an echo chamber" think pieces that keep popping up really tickle me because they show how certain people genuinely believe social media should be for debating and arguing and not talking about the things that make you happy and sharing art with the world.
