Sometimes I think about how from 1935-1975ish, Bell Labs produced an insane amount of revolutionary science and technology, including 11 Nobel Prizes, the transistor, UNIX, C, the laser, the solar cell, information theory, etc. The secret? Provide scientists with ample, steady, no-strings funding.

It is a massive problem in public health that the profession skews middle class - contributes to lack of insight into how many policies will land. Wider access to med school is needed

Having a parent with a professional occupation makes you six times more likely to become a doctor than if they have a working-class job, new research from @kingslsm.bsky.social has found.

An abbreviation (ABB) in a journal article (JA) or Grant Application (GA) is rarely worth the words it saves. Every ABB requires cognitive resources (CR) and at my age by the time I'm halfway through a JA or GA I no longer have the CR to remember what your ABB stood for.
