Science is about testing hypotheses- many NIH funded grants will turn out to be a waste of money. But the ones that don’t lead to life-saving breakthroughs. NIH study sections play an essential role ensuring the ROI on taxpayer $$ is as large as possible

Getting extramural grant funding from the NIH is incredibly difficult- you need be in the top ~10% of all scientists in the country I agree we should study and improve the review process but as a taxpayer I’m glad there is intense competition for these funds.

Patients need AIs that provide life-saving clinical decision support to their doctors. Patients don't need AIs that scour clinical documentation looking for ways to charge them more

If you care about advancing healthcare access and outcome for marginalized populations, embrace AI now. These tools are publicly available and customizable to make way more productive

My new year resolution is that every data and normative analysis in my quantitative bioethics lab will be assisted by a fine-tuned AI

Totally agree with @wfparker.bsky.social! #AI will be integrated in everything we do in medicine, so should get used to it now. Using it as a #Co-Intelligence, as @emollick.bsky.social suggests, is most appropriate. These examples by Dr. Parker are great!

I'm crabby today but I wish we could have a little less pearl-clutching over "the children are citing AI hallucinations" and a little more over "tenured academics are citing documents that cite documents that cite documents that cite documents that don't support their claims."

Sister Generose Gervais, a longtime administrator of the Mayo Clinic, is often quoted as saying, “No money, no mission.” A hospital can’t care for patients if it can’t pay for itself. But, O’Donnell told me, “people forget the second half of what she said: no mission, no need for money.”

The value judgments in the #ADAPT trial design are more interesting than the results I give broad spectrum antibiotics to almost every patient on a vasopressor in the MICU. It’s because I value human life orders of magnitude more than antibiotic “stewardship” in my decision making

This is just ludicrous misvaluation of the relative importance of one day of antibiotics vs a human life

Can someone please explain to me: “where the noninferiority margin was set at 5.4%” for 28 day mortality?

Every critical care physician should be doing an AI powered search for every patient, especially if they are teaching trainees I used to be ashamed when I did this, but I realized it was because of the myth of the omniscient doctor. Here’s a thread of just a few I did last week in the ICU: 🧵 1/

It’s not you Colleen- it’s the absurd idea of complete critical care mastery (e.g. “knowing everything”) I’m constantly up-to-dating/looking up trials on rounds in front of trainees to normalize our limitations as humans Can’t wait till it’s all AI supported…

Excited to re-engage in a positive and productive social media environment. To kick things off: Every health services researcher or healthcare data scientist should be using chatGPT (or a competitor with equivalent zero shot task performance) as part of their daily workflow
