Physician Implicit Racial Bias and Guideline-Concordant Vascular Care
This cross-sectional study examines whether physician implicit racial bias is associated with the delivery of evidence-based care and use of monitored guidelines for vascular care.

Ever wonder why walking capacity varies across ABIs in those with PAD? Calf skeletal muscle microvascular dysfunction, not conduit artery occlusive disease, is the strongest driver of walking impairment in PAD. Happy to share our work in Circ CV Interventions! www.ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/...

The BEST-CLI trial showed open surgery is superior for patients with complex, multi-level disease. Investigators saw both options as viable, but better anatomic staging is needed to guide care and move the field forward. Read more: bit.ly/3IVxA9o

This is progressive thinking. Scientists have done the work, but are losing their labs and livelihoods. We shouldn't make them pay to share their findings with the world.

Screen capture of an image of the flyer for a National Science Policy Network co-sponsored training event on "Communicating Science Policy." Was unable to convert image to text but the link in my post has all the details. Here is the beginning of that link that is also a sign up form:

"Communicating Science for Policy" training sessions this summer! We are looking forward to working with you to identify potential paths for your own engagement with decision-makers. 
You will earn a National Science Policy Network certificate of recognition for participating in the training for 5 hours over 3 days and completing a pre- and post-survey. 
Each of the 2 days of online training will start at 12 pm Eastern / 9 am Pacific and will run for 2 hours.
The final day of the course will be a 1-hour panel discussion with congressional S&T staff on July 30 at 12 pm Eastern / 9 am Pacific.

I'm just a small-town professor. I'll never be a provost or chancellor. But here's some free advice: we're about to hold the most watched college sports event in 🇺🇸. Every college president should be all over TV, at every game, explaining why the March Madness of federal budget cuts is a huge crisis.
