Very excited to see this finally coming out in RESTUD! (1/5)
In their paper, recently accepted to #REStud, Frakes @denverfrakes.bsky.social and Gruber find a reduction in racial health disparities among chronic-disease patients following an increase in the racial diversity of the surrounding medical providers.

Move to hold the agents who assaulted a sitting senator in contempt of Congress. Call for articles of impeachment against Noem. Stop working on crypto legislation. Demonstrate the stakes of what is happening in LA with your actions.
Sen. Chuck Schumer: "I just saw something that sickened my stomach; the manhandling of a United States Senator. We need immediate answers to what the hell went on."

The brutal handcuffing of Senator Padilla is an affront to democracy. I’m joining House Democrats to march to Senator Thune’s office and to demand that he protect his Colleagues from this out-of-control authoritarian onslaught.

Interesting developments with the Restatement and the negligence standard in medical malpractice cases. This hits close to home for me as much of my early work showed how physician behavior is sensitive to the negligence standard.
Our new special communication in @jama.com discussing the new restatement on medical liability. The new approach supports physicians who follow the science, rather than blind custom. If you need full text let me know.
