Not sure where my family would be financially right now without the PSLF. Seems like an awfully easy way to amplify the provider deficit.

Personalized inhaled bacteriophage therapy for treatment of multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa in cystic fibrosis - Nature Medicine A novel personalized phage therapy strategy that selects phages for a predicted evolutionary trade-off may represent a viable alternative approach for the treatment of antimicrobial-resistant bacteria...

A phage therapy using naturally occurring bacteryophages that not only kill but also selects for less resistant bacteria, shows promise in Cystic Fibrosis patients infected with drug resistant Pseudomonas. Kudos Dr. Chen, Stanley, Turner and Koff!!!

I have lots of issues with LLMs and their regular use.

AI is here and, whether you like it or not, it is coming into the medical field and being used by our trainees. Understanding the uses and limits, whether or not you choose to use it, is important.

How are clinicians using large language models? This latest type of AI has some helpful applications, as Matthew Churpek, MD, PhD, MPH discusses with host Eddie Qian, MD, on the latest episode of the ATS Breathe Easy podcast.

Trump's anti-DEI initiatives could hamper pulse oximeter research, doctors worry The future of funding to study racial disparities is unknown, as the federal government appears to oppose diversity, equity and inclusion programs .

‘He described the anti-DEI initiatives as “an attack on the scientists who are most likely to do work to ensure pulse oximeters work better for everyone.”’

Hi. Pulm&CritCare physician-scientist studying how the persistently dysregulated immune system predisposes to enhanced organ injury after sepsis. I'm a primary RCMB member and secondary Critical Care member. I'm the chair of the @ats-rcmb.bsky.social ECP working group. Love the ATS community!

Are you an early stage investigator and a member of the ATS Respiratory Cell and Molecular Biology Assembly? Consider applying for the Recognition of Early Academic Achievement Award (REAAch)! It's a fantastic opportunity to be recognized by your peers for your scientific contributions.

This helped for sure, but I need more!!

Definitely the science I'm looking for.

I'm here for science, bring me science.
