My TikTok feed is full of videos of AI-generated MLK Jr. and Michael Jackson doing a bunch of outrageous stuff (and it looks super realistic).

Not a typical post (🧵) on here, but just over 6 months ago, I successfully defended my dissertation alongside friends, family, my committee, and many loved ones. It was a wonderful day, and I have so many people to thank for their support over the past 3 years and more!

(1/3)
Front page of Sud’s dissertation titled ‘Investigating the Relationships of Place-based Social Determinants of Health and Structural Racism with Measures of Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Dementias”. The rest of the text on the title page reads as follows: BY SUDARSHAN KRISHNAMURTHY A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of WAKE FOREST UNIVERSITY GRADUATE SCHOOL OF ARTS AND SCIENCES in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Molecular Medicine and Translational Science May 2025 Winston-Salem, North Carolina Approved By: Timothy M.

Initial submission of my dissertation is out the door 🫡. Clearly an easy task during these lighthearted and untroubling times.

I’m even hearing this is the best time in a while to be an expert in something!

Curious about the implications of this for Masters students?? A lot of people don’t go straight from undergrad…

As a physician-scientist who was recently on an H-1B, studying many things including the physician workforce, last week’s executive order hit home. I wrote about it, and what it could mean for healthcare in the US, especially in Rural America. On Adverse Reaction! open.substack.com/pub/adverser...
Killing Rural Hospitals by Executive Order
The government claims it cares about rural healthcare. Its actions say otherwise.

New idea for if I can’t get an academic job when I hit the market because of ~everything~

A scanner for babies that tells you y they’re crying. Will call it “Baby OB2” - the check engine light scanner for your newborn. It wont work but I’ll claim it was designed w/ AI and prob raise a lot of money

Thinking about how my family immigrated from Jamaica to the US to avoid corruption and give future generations a chance to succeed. Well, I certainly have some news for them!

A lot of prospective PhD candidates reach out to me for advice.

Pursuing a PhD really will test your sense of “why am I doing this” and bring out self-doubt (even in ideal circumstances). Now more than ever people need to think about if it is worth their time, given the demands of being a trainee

The VC model is the antithesis of good basic science.

Basic science is best when many labs are funded over the long-term, when many different scientists pursue their own ideas. Let a thousand flowers bloom —and support them.

VC investment is about relentless, exponential growth.
But starting in the late 1980s, that investment in basic science began to pay off, driving a revolution in the molecular biology of cancer. Though it took decades, the cancer investment increase in the 1970s has led to a cornucopia of new cancer cures today. Immunotherapies, CAR-T cell treatments, checkpoint inhibitors, and precision drug targeting are all a product of that basic science work. And that progress has contributed to increased quality of life. Between 1991 and 2019, the risk of dying of cancer dropped by 31%. This is a common story for basic scientific research: it's a long-term investment, one that only governments have the time horizon to make, and it brings enormous payoffs. The payoffs are both economic, generating jobs, and in better health, generating cures. And the US scientific research system is complex, painstakingly constructed, and easy to

Thrilled to co-author 2 recent qualitative papers that perfectly demonstrate the importance of mixed methods research to inform US policy. In the first aptly titled "It's confusing as hell" we examined lived experiences of low-income people applying for the EITC. academic.oup.com/healthaffair... 1/

My patient recently lost his Medicaid insurance and couldn’t afford his meds.

Just calculated the cost of his 13 💊 which would be $2300/month. That’s around $27,500/year.

The FPL for a family of 4 is ~$32,000.

This is not sustainable for the health and lives of our patients!

Here is a word cloud of the words that were missing from the noncompetitive renewal awards but had been present in the parent award.

A word cloud with dominant words "equity", "disparity", "diverse", and similar words.

Agreed, the hard part is knowing when the story is going to catch on and have the most narrative power.

In many ways being less online is probably better for us all, but being more present and involved in these spaces also increases your likelihood of having a story picked up.

Social media is a tool, but I’m unsure we can really use social media to influence people. Maybe podcasts and medium form videos so people can get to know you, you build trust, AND present a nuanced argument? Algorithms are also a tricky part of this…

Maybe @chrislhayes.bsky.social has thoughts?

Twitter/X right now seems to be more about broadcasting your view opposed to discourse. I think that’s because it’s hard to put much nuance into 280 characters, and nuance doesn’t give you much of a following.

Also most users are observers who don’t engage but see the zero-sum arguing.
