A reminder that xenophobia is the worst kind of phobia

A glimmer of hope for public support of science. Iā€™ve been making phone calls over the past weeks to recruit patients into an innovative study but with tangible risks. The responses have been overwhelmingly positive (recruitment rate >60%) with many sharing just how much they want to support science

These people donā€™t care about the ā€œgreatnessā€ of America or cutting the deficit to ensure our long-term solvency. They care about taking as much as possible, living as large as possible, and consolidating as much power as possible for whatever remains of their lives.

If you support or are indifferent to the government disappearing people then you fail the human decency test.

More evidence for PCC over plasma as first line therapy for post-CPB bleeding. #ansky

Anemia is common in ICU patients and associated with adverse post-hospitalization outcomes. We designed the PABST-BR RCT to evaluate if an anemia prevention and treatment bundle, compared to standard care, would improve Hb recovery. We also explored effects on patient functioning. #emimcc #ansky

Not a hard concept, folks.

New movie pitch: Gerard Butler revives his Olympus Has Fallen role but instead of protecting the president from foreign terrorists he must repeatedly save the nation from the stupidities of the president and his gaggle of senate confirmed secretaries and advisors. We call it ā€œIntegrity Has Fallenā€

Fun Fact and Timeline Cleanse: Chickens occasionally lay tiny ā€œfairy eggsā€ which have no yolk but are completely edible - kids were thrilled to find one tonight!

Here is the video I made, inspired by this wonderful tweet. www.youtube.com/watch?v=dSOj...

ā€œDad, can I have an apple with caramel for a bedtime snack?ā€ ā€œSure sweety, thanks for asking.ā€ The aftermath.
