Not entirely related, but this makes me think about how some journals are deciding to auto-reject studies of NHANES data to combat the issue of paper mills. I think a lot of literature muddies the water, but I’m struck by the immense pressures on BOTH our data and the dissemination of good science

“The intent of all these actions is clear: to terminate policies that create a diverse medical workforce—one that looks like America—and which has doctors with lived experience that gives them insights into their patients’ lives.”

Because lived experience is critical to the delivery of care #MedSky

The Trump administration and its allies have taken several steps to ensure that medical schools in the US dismantle all diversity, equity, and inclusion policies.

@ianlmorgan.bsky.social laying out how early career researchers are particularly being harmed in this moment. I think most of us would LOVE “radical transparency” and increased innovation in research. Right now we are facing the exact opposite
We no longer have access to equipment service contracts, lab managers, technicians, and training programs due to the cancellation of $2.6 billion (35 percent) of NIH contract spending. Without equipment service contracts, we now have to choose between paying exorbitant fees or giving up on research projects entirely when our equipment inevitably breaks down. With the ongoing hiring freeze, highly trained early career researchers can no longer transition to more permanent positions at the NIH, so we are losing top talent who want to stay in the United States and contribute their unique skills to our economy but are now being forced to look elsewhere.

Thank you for all you do! It gives me hope that despite attempts to make it grim, there is a future possible where we still innovate and improve the health of people!

YES!

We cite evidence showing: Black patients wait longer in the ER to be seen by a clinician (pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26454472/), clinicians show racial bias in their assessment of a patient's credibility (pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24378807/), & there are large racial inequalities in health outcomes

In a country where the race, gender, ethnicity, and SES of individuals dramatically shape their lived experience and health outcomes, claiming that medicine is blind to these factors is malpractice!

Even if it’s complicated, it’s still important to think about diversity, equity, and inclusion!

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!

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...

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

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!
