Excited & honored to give my first ever talk at the Hospital of Rimini. I am choosing this place to present the concept we all knew but never had a molecular proof: Early IPF is IPF. Grateful to the amazing collaborators Profs Poletti, Ravaglia, Tomassetti who made this work possible. #CurePF4All

Somehow this International Working Group Report saddened me. We actually do not know more about Acute Exacerbations of Pulmonary Fibrosis now than 10 years ago, same for evidence based therapies (NONE). One must ask why have we not made any progress? academic.oup.com/ajrccm/artic...

I think this is reasonable solution, capping #research, and in #medschool interviews it is pretty easy to tell those who are passionate about it vs. those are just doing it to add a line to their CV But there is still a misconception that pre-meds/med students NEED it, not sure how to help with that

4/n so obviously banning med school research won't do anything. Research is not confined to med school & students don't create the problem, programs do. Solution is simple: Cap the number of papers, abstracts and experiences listed in application and require verification And there's more:

3/n Turns out that it's not only research - residency applicants now report up to 200 (!) volunteer experiences. So we have a research 'arms race', and a volunteering arms race? or may be its a performative differentiation arms race? I sure think so.

I see his point on the arms-race that is racking up publications just to get a residency, but hospitals w/ embedded clinician-scientists have better outcomes and I always say that Nobel prizes aren't won by doing meta-analyses - deep understanding of pathophys are desperately needed.

I have plenty of criticism of our system, but dissing all pre-residency research is just populist. Many do real work, learn a lot doing it. Hope our fav medical comedian doesn’t go full Vinay P on us. #Clickbait
