We are crowd sourcing reductions in graduate admissions and hiring freezes across biomedical research and higher ed in response to pauses in NIH funding and EO’s. If you have information if you could add to this spreadsheet, it would be greatly appreciated!: docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

You cannot determine whether you saved or cost money based solely on one side of the ledger. Example: I saved my household $2K by not paying the mortgage.

RFK Jr. thinks that a clinical trial should be done for the entire childhood vaccine schedule. Here’s why that will never happen. 1. You can’t do a randomized trial of something that we already know is safe and effective. There would have to be a placebo group that didn’t get vaxxed. Unethical.

This is an important rule when discussing with someone. Always ask "what would it take for you to change your opinion?"

Sadly, it’s a good time to once again share this amazing infographic that we ran at @science.org more than 7 years ago 🧪 #IDsky www.science.org/content/arti...

Ignorance really is bliss when it comes to the scourge of infectious diseases: “Parents in the early 1950s lived with a terror few could later imagine: the substantial prospect their child could touch the wrong toy & end up in a wheelchair, an iron lung or a grave.” www.nytimes.com/2024/12/13/h...

The #radiology analog to this: do not abandon your clinical judgment in favor of #AI. We need to constantly calibrate our decision-making so that it falls somewhere on the spectrum between automation bias and automation neglect. Either end, like for most things in life, is not ideal. #AIinmoderation

This thread encapsulates what I’ve been thinking for a long time about “unpaid” work in orgs. Saying no to these important but often unglamorous tasks tacitly dumps them on others. The discussion should be about how to compensate them, not how you’re so clever to avoid them.

Something that I keep front and centered is to pay-it forward and open doors for others like @neuroradac.bsky.social & many others have done for me. #RSNA24 is about going beyond building intelligent connections, and building connections that last a lifetime.

Eric Topol’s talk about #AIinMedicine was my highlight of #RSNA24. Birdseye view of uni-/multimodal AI. Surprising zoom-ins incl a study showing AI increasing radiologist burnout😧 Caution warranted! but Dr. Topol mostly highlighted its huge, inspirational potential for good @erictopol.bsky.social

@ejfloresmd.bsky.social was an earnest med student from PR, I was a resident just being nice to students. He chose the mainland for residency and now he’s making MGH and the world a better place. #useyourpowersforgood #RSNA24
