I have insomnia a lot lately so may as well share what’s literally keeping me up at night. It’s a long list but tonight it’s flu. Yes, H5N1, but also seasonal flu. Firing federal scientists brings a flu-filled future. Have you ever wondered how flu vaccine strains are chosen?

This piece by @dereklowe.bsky.social for @science.org is everything you want to know about the current state of governmental science in the US It is not good What's Happening Inside the NIH and NSF | Science | AAAS www.science.org/content/blog...

With all the nonsense going on... I've been getting books from the library on sciencey stuff for my 8yo. Got a really interesting comic "a shot in the arm" that he really liked. (I learned a lot!) Are there other "fun" kids books on public health/be nice to people topic? #medsky #pharmsky

The antidote for despair is action ❤️ * Dial (202) 224-3121 * Enter zip code * Leave voicemail * Say “My name is ___, I’m a constituent in [town]. (If clinician/scientist, say so) “The NIH freeze harms research and patients and must be lifted immediately.” Be brief. Staffers tally all calls. Go! ✅

Hey #pharmsky #medsky, What are you telling patients trying to get their glp-1s when insurance mandates 3 month mail order fills but their own mail order refuses to fill 3 months? Super frustrating...

What is the heck is wrong with Symbicort these days? I keep getting calls on new prescriptions for Symbicort not written DAW asking for new prescriptions for Breyna. I keep saying it's ab rated and interchangeable and I've had multiple pharmacists refuse. Am I missing something? #Pharmsky

My favorite present from Christmas this year was my secret bracelet my 6yo made me at home in his "wrapping paper". #Pharmsky

Second friendly Christmas movie reminder is that Santa and the reindeer are jerks

Friendly reminder that Disney plus has the version of the Muppet Christmas Carol with the deleted song but it's kind of tucked away in the menu www.businessinsider.com/muppet-chris...

Does anyone have any references/resources/pearls for using Ure-Na for hyponatremia? Been seeing it used more lately by nephrology and our office hasn't found much about it but it sounds helpful. #medsky #pharmsky
