Fascinating! Any relation to earlier research by Asya Rolls that I covered for Quanta Magazine? Ruslan Medzhitov Prof. Kevin J. Tracey, MD quantamagazine.org/new-science-sh…
Great article in @JAMA by Esther Wei-Yun Landhuis shedding light on the urgent need for new #antibiotics to fight drug-resistant #gonorrhoea 🦠 GARDP's pioneering work on zoliflodacin offers hope. But collaboration will be crucial in tackling #AMR jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/…
After writing an Undark Magazine feature on #PANDAS, it's great to see this recent The Economist piece expand on the theme that some mental health conditions may have biological roots — and thus could be treated as medical rather than psychiatric illnesses economist.com/science-and-te…
Love this Tradeoffs episode about a JohnsHopkinsNursing program w/ a radically sensible approach to US #PrimaryCare - bring care directly to people & focus on prevention over crisis management Dan Gorenstein Leslie Walker

While fretting about being told to start clear liquid diet >24 hrs(!!) before my procedure (first time🙄), I found this. Benjamin Lebwohl, is this becoming standard of care? statnews.com/2024/03/19/col…
Among many topics discussed by Mandy K. Cohen, MD, MPH, this stood out: "When #PublicHealth is working, it's invisible." Creates interesting challenge for journalists/storytellers: How to find, pitch & report on these "invisible" victories Pls share examples of such reporting!
Helluva reporting job by Sara Talpos!
A ~1,500-word riff on how #jazz #drumming could help my #journalism! Thanks to Katharine Gammon for encouraging me to write this, and to Rina Shaikh-Lesko and Jacqui Banaszynski for edits niemanstoryboard.org/stories/music-…
Fabulous talk by Esther Wei-Yun Landhuis on kids and invisible illness at Stanford Medicine & the Muse Big Ideas in Medicine conference. Caring for kids with PANS/PANDAS changed my career as an anesthesiologist. Glad to hear more discussion around inflammation and psychiatric symptoms.
TRUST is a big theme these days—at an upcoming National Association of Science Writers (NASW) plenary, and at last weekend's Stanford Big Ideas in Medicine Conference conference, where I urged physicians, researchers, entrepreneurs & other thought leaders to be candid in published stories about what's broken in healthcare
Really interesting story by Jyoti Madhusoodanan on behavioral science to motivate #PublicHealth decisions. Makes so much sense. We think we're rational & data-driven, but so much of human behavior is rooted in social & environmental cues. undark.org/2024/08/28/nud…
