When an attending calls another attending to review a case, direct extensions/cell numbers should be provided. No one (actually, no one ever) should be calling a central number, choosing options, then getting put on hold 🫠

Hope for ULD @hopeforuld.bsky.social · 23/11/2025
The loss of dreams. The loss of abilities. The loss of freedom. The loss of a pain-free life. And because the disease is progressive, things get worse. This is why Hope for ULD exists.

Why do neurologists come up with different ideas about prognosis and treatment - at the same institution - for super-refractory status epilepticus? It was fascinating to talk to Matt Woodward about clinical variability on the AAN Neurology podcast! directory.libsyn.com/episode/inde...

Y'all who don't know how academic research works: FYI, I'm giving up 1/4 of my salary (so-called summer salary) so I can buy reagents for my research lab since my main NIH grant is suspended and may never be released back to me. Needless to say, I'm still working my usual 60+ hr/wk, regardless.

All of NIH funding to Northwestern University is frozen. This pause includes noncompeting approved funding, new and competing grants with fundable scores. No reimbursements for money already spent have been received since March. This situation is rarely reported so please Please get the word out!

Musk’s status as a “special government employee” limits him to 130 days in the executive branch. However, despite working daily—documented by his own X posts—they claim he only works one day a week, effectively stretching his limit to 130 weeks. This needs to be brought to Congress—please share.

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

Adams must be removed. The city cannot sustain being governed for nearly a year by a Mayor who is being coerced by Trump admin in order to escape charges. This corruption poses a real threat to the people of the city. He should have resigned a while ago, but will not. So it’s time for him to go.

She's not alone.. The silence from biotech and pharma CEOs — $AMGN $LLY $REGN $GILD — is (to use a cliché) deafening. Read the story here: www.statnews.com/2025/02/11/n...

As outcry builds over Trump cuts to NIH payments, drugmakers are MIA
Drugmakers — major beneficiaries of NIH-backed university research — have been largely silence on the Trump administration's cuts to agency research payments.

CRID - Unique Patient ID for rare disease clinical research @thecrid.bsky.social · 23/01/2025
- CRID facilitates collaboration/data sharing in rare disease research by providing a unique, universal identifier. - It reduces patient burden, such as "survey fatigue". - Adoption of CRID globally could accelerate research progress by overcoming geographical and institutional barriers.

1/Have you been cutting corners when it comes to coronal anatomy?   Do you just say a lesion is in the inferior frontal region & hope no one asks for details?   It’s time to turn the corner on coronal anatomy   Open this thread for an easy way to remember this frontal anatomy you need to know!

CRID - Unique Patient ID for rare disease clinical research @thecrid.bsky.social · 27/11/2024
CRID could benefit greatly from additional funding, but it seems unlikely to receive support from the EC Horizon Europe Framework Programme (HORIZON). Sometimes, particularly with rare diseases, commercial sustainability should not be a determining criterion. #EndDataSilos #Horizon #EC
