#Ebola disease outbreak: “This is the largest outbreak that DRC has seen for many years,” declares Kate White, our Emergency Medical Coordinator. There is still difficulty with testing and treating people early enough to stop the growing death toll.

My favorite LOR trick: I ask students to write reflections on patients we shared. Their own words help me capture their growth, empathy, and impact—so my letters sound like them, not their CV. Thanks, @gbosslet.bsky.social for teaching me this trick.

The rapid actions of the Trump Administration to shut down all communication by NIH, thus putting both study sections and councils on hold, is challenging for all of us. We can make our voices known. Below is an example email I sent to both NC Senators (text in alt text) 1/2 🧪
Bipartisan support for NIH and biomedical research is key to retaining US leadership
Dear Sen. Tillis,
I am a constituent, a Professor at UNC-Chapel Hill and a biomedical researcher with 33 years of funding from NIH.  You have been a strong supporter of NIH and  biomedical research, recognizing the impact of the more than $2 billion in funding NIH brings to NC Universities and its broader economic impact.  The US has led in biomedical research for many decades, yielding impressive improvements in treatment of cancer and heart disease, and stunning new opportunities to use gene therapy in diseases like Type 1 diabetes and sickle cell disease.  In the last 10 years, China has massively increased investment in science, and is threatening our lead.  To remain competitive, we need to continue our investment.  The actions this week by the Trump Administration to shut down NIH study sections and pause funding sent shock waves through our community.  We need to resume bipartisan support for NIH or lose a generation of scientists.  I would like to connect with the aide in the Tillis office who handles HHS and NIH and have a conversation about these issues--please have them email me.
Thank you for your past support
Mark Peifer

Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield Won’t Pay for the Complete Duration of Anesthesia for Patients’ Surgical Procedures
In an unprecedented move, Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield plans representing Connecticut, New York and Missouri have unilaterally declared it will no longer pay for anesthesia care if the surgery or procedure goes beyond an arbitrary time limit, regardless of how long the surgical procedure takes. The American Society of Anesthesiologists calls on Anthem to reverse this proposal immediately.

Another outbreak of... something. Very little information available so far, little testing resources in the area and unspecific symptoms, so this could be anything. The extent of spread would be rather large for a novel zoonosis, so my guess at this point is a known pathogen. Still a bit worrying.
