Why even be over there still?

Yes, I miss my legacy verification and thousands of followers over in the upside down but wouldn’t touch that place with a 10ft pole.

It’s a mess.

Hey everybody! @drjuliawester.bsky.social and I have a new paper!

We surveyed over 800 scientists, science communicators, and science educators who use social media.

Conclusion: Scientists no longer find Twitter useful or pleasant, and many have switched to Bluesky! 🧪🌎🦑

📢BREAKING: Just left the courthouse for our NIH grant termination case

Judge ruled terminations are “VOID & ILLEGAL”

As a plaintiff, I felt a wave of relief & hope; he acknowledged the discrimination & harm

Closed by asking, ‘Have we fallen so low? Have we no shame?’

Great piece! Do y’all happen to have data on the freq of Medicaid enrollees who vote? I imagine it’s probably high for Medicare enrollees, but the former I’m not so sure, and I imagine it’s exceedingly low, hence why they can be so cruel.

When I testified to the US Senate a few years ago, I said a lot of this, too.

AL will never expand Medicaid. Rural hospitals closing everywhere. Medicaid cuts hurt rural Rs the most.

I think lawmakers count on that subgroup not voting, not being able to vote, or voting against their self interest.

Josh is the best. He helped me navigate several issues early in my career when I couldn’t find any guidance. Stellar person. I partially owe my current path to him. 🙏🏽

True. It was remarkable. There are several things to learn. I agree, my favorite part was watching JeffCo votes come in at the very end and that NYT ticket swing in Jones’s favor. I was cheering! The shift since then is disturbing. Level of opponent insanity won’t be enough anymore here.

And Jones still barely won by 21k votes. 🤯

That’s what I walked away with and was scared by that election. The vast majority of the ALGOP base could vote for Moore despite everything. It took that level of insanity just to pull a small number of votes away.

Doing anything science related during these times feels like we’re that dog saying, “It’s fine,” as the room around him is on fire. Come to find out his whole house is actually a dumpster fire, and that dumpster is floating away down a raging flood.

I built a clinic for people with serious 🫁 disease who little to no insurance.

This week, I spent tons of time after clinic to get a Medicaid prior auth approved for 1 inhaler that has kept my patient with COPD stable.

I’ll go through the gauntlet for my patients, but why do I have to?!

"For both patients and providers, prior authorization can feel like an unfair game they are designed to lose."

Honored to work w/ Dr @nathangray.bsky.social on a graphic op-ed out now @usatoday.com on how #PriorAuth can leave some patients literally dying in pain.

Doctors trying to get patients necessary drugs and procedures stymied by health insurance prior authorization. It's not a game. It's life and death.

These are great ideas. I question broad applicability. I don’t routinely cuff leak or NIF. Maybe in select cases, eg. Airway obstruction or Myasthenia, respectively. But even then, cuff leak may not be helpful. I’ll find that data.
