Congratulations to @lauraburke20.bsky.social!

EMF was one of the first to fund my research & I’m looking forward to seeing them support many more young investigators in emergency medicine!

Thank you for sharing your experiences. It’s important for Americans to be aware of the impact the recent NIH changes have on cancer research and the future of biomedical research.

Jeremy, doesn’t this also make it more difficult for ESIs to get their first R01s? It would seem this will further increase the median age at first R01 funding and create a huge gap in scientists in a few years who had to pivot to other pursuits when their labs couldn’t get that first pivotal R01.

An incredible first hand account of the chaos that has ensued in NIH funded research labs and its far reaching impact on the future of cancer research.

Proud to share our teams' work on making fall prevention more accessible to emergency department patients who present at smaller, resource-limited EDs.

Can telehealth help unravel the knotty problem of fall prevention in older adults?

Prevening falls is critical to reducing injuries among older adults, and telehealth tools may help providers reach more people in rural areas.

Go you! I’m sure your Mom is so grateful that you fixed it for her. And it takes a very patient person to help someone with technology who isn’t a digital native.

Was at #AAIC25 this week talking to patient advocacy organizations for #AlzheimersDisease.

Many don’t know about the deep crisis we are facing in #NIH funding. We need to continue to talk about this & importantly enlist our patients/future patients.

Thx @jeremymberg.bsky.social for this graph.

Es ist interessant zu hören dass Notfallmediziner in Deutschland auch daran denken wie wir die Shiftarbeit besser machen könnten. Wir haben noch viel zu erfahren / forschen damit man länger und besser diese Arbeit machen kann!

I received this vaccine in my third trimester. My baby is now a healthy three year old. And I didn't get severe COVID while pregnant. Win win.

Let's stop taking away options from women to receive evidence-based treatments to keep them healthy in pregnancy.

There are ways to reduce #dementia risk:
🦻get hearing checked
🚶‍♂️exercise
👭stay social

But beware of #pseudoscience. A family member was sold “light therapy for the brain.”

If it cured dementia, it’d be the first.

Physicians aren’t hiding cures—we’re trying to protect from harm.

Yet again – in a non-clinical surrogate setting – clinicians aided by AI outperformed clinicians using conventional resources.

But AI, by itself, led the way.

New Paper Alert!

I'm thrilled that we now have pharmacists embedded in emergency care in many EDs.

Here, evidence that a #pharmacist led intervention reduced costs and recurrence of medication-related ED visits compared to usual ED care.

My quote of the day

At times our own light goes out and is rekindled by a spark from another person. Each of us has cause to think with deep gratitude of those who have lighted the flame within us.
