Thank you to @naspghan.bsky.social for allowing me to discuss #AI applications in GI and best practices for incorporating in academic fields at our annual meeting. Good to see such a large number of #pedsgi physicians eager to learn more about AI.

In today's new episode, Dr. Kevin Watson talks to hosts Dr. Peter Lu & Dr. Jennifer Lee about using #AI in GI and his experience introducing AI scribes to his #pediatricGI division and children's hospital. Can AI really write my notes for me? 🤔 🎧 www.buzzsprout.com/581062/episo...

If you are planning on attending #Epic UGM conference next week please plan to see our session from @akronchildrens.bsky.social regarding our implementation of ambient AI scribes with @abridge.com. Come see how you can decrease provider times in notes as well as physician burnout!

Indirect (facility and admin) costs are real. For 70 years, the US biomedical research enterprise has been structured on recovery of these institutional expenditures. Reduction of indirect costs recovery to 15% will cripple US biomedical research for decades. www.science.org/content/arti...

NIH slashes overhead payments for research, sparking outrage
Move to cut indirect cost rate to 15% could cost universities billions of dollars
