Over the next 25 years, if proposed cuts in NIH funding are made real, “In a population of more than 340 million, this reflects 82 million fewer years of life.” In the US alone. jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

I need everyone on Normal People internet to know that American Girl Doll Instagram is doing doll protests today. There are tiny t-shirts and signs. AND THEN I realized it's a joint protest with the Barbie ppl, where there are EVEN TINIER SIGNS.

Frequently, systems-based hematology focuses on reducing overuse, but there are many interventions that are under utilized! This is a great review from Dr. Jacob Cogan, my former mentee, and a great team, including @heme-fan.bsky.social and @gbarnesmd.bsky.social #systemsbasedhematology

In case anyone is wondering why I haven’t responded to emails or text messages, it’s because this girl came home recently! Her name is Quinn, her dads love her so much, and she is pure love and happiness in a ball of fluff. I’m sorry but responses will be delayed! #AquinnahTheGolden #GdenRetriever

Vinay Prasad spent his career fighting against these sort of shortcuts. I guess “gold standard science” is only going to apply to vaccines.

A story in two photos… #BlockedByVinay was a hashtag badge of honor for integrity in academy medicine on the old #MedTwitter

Vinay Prasad, who consistently spreads misinformation and is basically an internet troll, is now going to oversee a key FDA center regulating vaccines and gene therapies. I’m one of many who was blocked online by Vinay because he didn’t like having his lies challenged.

I was at dinner last night in Phoenix, and a guy walked by the table, stopped, and then said I must be from the south because I had ordered chicken tenders with a side of mac & cheese. You can take the boy out of the south… #comfortfood

What a wonderful podcast focused on women and hemophilia from @isth.org to celebrate #WorldHemophiliaDay and this year's focus on women and girls with bleeding disorders! Thank you to Paula James, Megan Chaigneau, and host @gbarnesmd.bsky.social for highlighting this important topic. 🩸

We welcomed Dr. Beth Gillespie from University of Colorado Climate and Health for medical grand rounds on food security, equity, and climate change. Even if fossil fuels were eliminated, food production emissions threaten climate goals, and nutrition is the number one contributor to human health!

In honor of #WorldHemophiliaDay I’d like to remind you that 🩸women can have hemophilia but often go undiagnosed 🩸carriers with normal factor levels still can bleed excessively 🩸 reproductive tract bleeding matters 🩸we as a medical community can and should do better

This isn't science. In science, you don't presuppose the outcome and you certainly don't manipulate the data to get the outcome you want to find. Our government is actively trying to cause long-term harm in children under false pretenses.

Turned down an in-person advisory board meeting in Texas. At this time, when basic human rights are under attack, large companies should not be holding business meetings in states that are unwelcoming to the experts the companies rely on to conduct their scientific work.

As someone directly affected by this, let me be clear: I'd rather lose my job because Harvard chose to fight than keep my job and see a generation of white supremacists parade its corpse around like a war trophy.

Really insightful and inspiring talk today by @britshmit.bsky.social, sponsored by Cornell PRIDE. As both a Cornell alumnus and a Harvard faculty member, it was great to see this work highlighted to our communities. While there is chaos all around us right now, there are also glimmers of hope. 🏳️‍🌈

There’s risk in speaking up. But just as my patients need to see me as their doctor to standing up — so too do we clinicians need to see our institutions stand up for science, freedom of expression, and the diversity of our academic community. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/04/14/b...

Such a rollercoaster of emotions today as I had one manuscript accepted for publication and shortly afterward received a rejection notice for another. Such is life in academic medicine!

Thrilled to have attended the 2025 @hrc.org New England Dinner to stand in solidarity with our regional LGBTQ+ community.

Coagulation is infinitely more complex than our current understanding suggests. We should not assume that what we measure in the blood tells us anything about what is happening at the tissue level. Elegant science by @caterinacasari.bsky.social @ceciledenis.bsky.social and their colleagues.

For the people who used to ask 'Why do you have to be so political?' I hope that it's now obvious why. Healthcare is political. Housing is political. Education is political. The air we breathe, the water we drink —it's all shaped by policy and power. Ignoring that is a political choice.
