Yes. Yes we are. Don’t forget being labeled as heroes while also feeding the public false narratives about the pandemic causing patients to come in and not believe the help we were providing.

Heard from #AHRQ that the entire grants staff has been let go! They are unable to issue funds for grants already funded, let alone fund new grants. This is outrageous and will make Americans poorer and sicker. Why? A brief thread about just some recent AHRQ-funded research: #MedSky #HealthPolicy

Today at an area hospital ICU. Things I want to do: go to work and help critically ill patients and not get shot. Nurses don’t ask for that. Physicians don’t ask for that. Yet violence against healthcare workers is at an all time high. And we get shot. #nursesky #medsky

Sunday thoughts: how do we create social networks offline to facilitate conversations between those in science and those that don’t understand/fear science? How can we take from implementation science and create community? #sciencesky #nursesky #medsky theconversation.com/address-scie...
theconversation.com
Address science misinformation not by repeating the facts, but by building conversation and community
For science to have a meaningful impact on a group of people, new information needs to spread between trusted members of that community.

The Dunning Kruger effect is how I explain most decisions and decision making as well as how thought and expertise is developed. And it’s as useful this past week as it’s ever been. We’re at the peak of “mount stupid.”
This photo depicts the Dunning Kruger effect which a cognitive bias that occurs when people overestimate their abilities in an area where they lack knowledge or skill. There is a person that follows the specific criteria over time from the peak of mount stupid, the valley of despair, slope of enlightenment and finalizes at the plateau of sustainability.
