“Asked how the cuts have affected science, one [researcher] said, ‘This is like asking, how do you think dropping an atomic bomb on New York City will affect the future of Broadway musicals? This is a generational loss of innovation, technology, and economic power.’” 🔗 archive.ph/2026.02.12-1...

Tell us what you really think about guidelines! 😬 fun episode.
The decision by the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to downgrade its recommendations to protect infants from hepatitis B is a dangerous move that will harm children.

The lawsuit alleges that Kennedy and other political appointees at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services have flouted federal procedures and systematically attempted to mislead the public.

Unbelievable. #RFK is setting the state of American medical sciences back DECADES.
Thanks, Dr. Kressly, for calling this nonsense out.

Docs get tons of #PatientPortal messages, some more urgent than others.
Can #LLMs with Retrieval-Augmented Generation be used to identify emergencies from these messages?

Was just about to tag you and VCLIC on your new JAMIA article. Hmmm....😞
80+% of both Democrats and Republicans believe America would be better off if more Americans worked in manufacturing, but < 30% say that about themselves.
The bipartisan belief that America would be a better place if *other people* worked in a factory.

We’ll leave you with this: On what looks like a piece of paper reads, Olivia, my eldest daughter, caught measles when she was seven years old. As the illness took its usual course I can remember reading to her often in bed and not feeling particularly alarmed about it. Then one morning, when she was well on the road to recovery, I was sitting on her bed showing her how to fashion little animals out of coloured pipe-cleaners, and when it came to her turn to make one herself, I noticed that her fingers and her mind were not working together and she couldn’t do anything.“Are you feeling all right?” I asked her.“I feel all sleepy,” she said.In an hour, she was unconscious. In twelve hours she was dead.Next to the paper reads, In 1988, author Roald Dahl wrote a letter to parents begging them not to deny their children vaccinations. His daughter died in 1962, a year before the measles vaccine. His words, excerpted at left, still resonate. Source: TIME Yale School of Public Health
We'll leave you with this:
7/7
Southwest measles outbreak as of March 30, 2025 Map shows four states - New Mexico: 44 cases, 2 hospitalizations, 1 death. Kansas: 23 cases. Oklahoma: 9 cases. Texas: 400 cases, 41 hospitalizations, 1 death. SOURCES: CORI, state health departments, news outlets, YALE ESF-8 Virtual Medical Operation Center
476 of these measles cases are linked to a large regional outbreak in the Southwest. Experts warn that this number may be a severe undercount.

Thanks! As an aside, any good follows for history of medicine?
Any chance this talk will be streamed or recorded?
If only we had something like a universal patient identifier. 😞
Patient-matching algorithms only go so far.

Maryland reports a new case linked to international travel—not connected to the Texas/New Mexico outbreak.
Potential exposures:
- Dulles International Airport (arrivals baggage claim)
- Johns Hopkins Howard County Pediatric ER

Removing allergy labels is hard! We need to work on preventing allergy labels from ever making it to the chart!
There's always a few withdrawn presentations at conferences, but seeing 3 withdrawals in a session on diversity is sad. I wonder how many CDC & NIH colleagues couldn't come? #CROI2025
🧪 AI is exposing errors in research papers, fast.
Tools like the Black Spatula Project and YesNoError use AI to catch mistakes in calculations, methodology, and references before they spread.

Nice to see publications of implemented AI/ML #CDSS models, but this one is very light on the details. Particularly Table 2. 🤔 #informatics
Just ordered the hardcover as I think my 8 year old is now old enough to really enjoy it!
