Do you know about ARDS mimics?

These are diseases that *LOOK* like ARDS but have very different treatment: AEP, DAH, OP, HP, EVALI, PJP, AIP, etc.

If you care for people with ARDS but this alphabet 🍜 of disease doesn’t immediately ring a 🛎️ you NEED to give this episode a listen!

Vinay Prasad’s appointment to lead the FDA’s CBER division is a disaster for biotech stocks but it’s worse for patients who depend on new therapies. Therapies that Vinay has signaled he won’t approve.

I really liked Season 1 of Fallout. One thing that struck me as unrealistic was Vault-Tec’s evil plan: to literally nuke the entire world so they could fundamentally reshape society according to their twisted views.

Anyway, it feels pretty realistic after this week…

NIH has rescinded its scientific integrity policy. Hard to see this as anything other than clearing the way for shoddy research on things like vaccines. Regardless of the rationale, it's bad news for public health.

Person A submits an article. Person B reviews it & rejects it. Then person B changes the author name & submits the article to a different journal where it’s accepted. He claims he attached the wrong file by mistake. 😝

Really great argument for pre-prints!
