I’m so humbled to have had the chance to share my story with LSU chemistry :) I’m forever grateful to this department for helping me achieve my dreams!! 💜💛

[LSU Chemistry @LSU_Chemistry]

At 9 yrs old, #LSUChemistry and @LSU_BioSci graduate Anne D'Armond wanted to become a rockstar. However, when tragedy struck her community, she felt a pull toward something greater. This fall, Anne will start the MD/PhD program at Tulane University. https://t.co/9OGLz34G6U

Ok hear me out: instead of all of us having to become extremely knowledgeable on a new infectious disease every 3-6 months, what if we got a large group of experts together and just put them in charge of giving us easy to understand health recommendations. They could also do things like track outbreaks and predict future concerns.

[Marios Georgakis @MariosGeorgakis]

As an MD/PhD, I'm probably biased here, but I find these oversimplified generalizations hard to understand.

A quick look at any list of influential biomedical scientists (Nobel laureates, leaders across fields, big pharma CSOs, biotech founders) shows that MD/PhDs (or MDs deeply engaged in research) are prominently represented.

Many are also excellent clinicians, particularly in highly specialized or rare disease areas, where clinical insight is the often the only driver of scientific discovery.

So the claim that MD/PhDs "seldom advance either basic knowledge or clinical practice" doesn’t hold up. And the shift toward administrative or leadership roles later in one’s career isn’t unique to MD/PhDs.

Most MD/PhDs I know are among the hardest-working people in either medicine or science. They commit to 15-20 years of training and most often end up earning less than purely clinical peers.

The poor are not there by chance or by blind and cruel fate. Nor, for most of them, is poverty a choice. Yet, there are those who still presume to make this claim, thus revealing their own blindness and cruelty. #DilexiTe

Vaccines work. Period.

[U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy, M.D. @SenBillCassidy]

Louisiana is in its worst whooping cough (pertussis) outbreak in 35 years. 368 cases this year, including two infants who have died. Since last fall, 63 have been hospitalized, 65% infants. Most hospitalized were not up-to-date on vaccines. 

The DTaP/Tdap vaccines protect against whooping cough, as well as tetanus and diphtheria, which also remain dangerous threats to children. These vaccines are safe, effective, and life-saving. Talk to your doctor about any questions you may have.

Taking omega-3 and vitamin D supplements over a three-year period slowed biological ageing by three to four months, particularly when combined with exercise.

🚨BREAKING: Kansas is experiencing a massive outbreak of tuberculosis, which is now being called the largest one in recorded history.

Due to an order from the Trump Administration to restrict and freeze information coming from any and all Health and Human Services Agencies, the general public is largely unaware of the situation.

This needs to be a much BIGGER story.

I hope this blatant lie is brought up at his confirmation hearing

HPV vaccine PREVENTS cancer.

Literally the opposite of what this man says is true.

In an unprecedented move, research-grant reviews have been suspended indefinitely at the world’s largest public funder of biomedical research

Just incredibly depressing that humans spent so long trying to invent cures to diseases, succeeded against the odds, and that progress is now being erased by a small number of people spreading misinformation.

I love the city of New Orleans more than most things in this world. Struggling to find the words today, but my heart is breaking and with the people and place I love so much. 🤍

DEEP SIGH. What an embarrassment from @LADeptHealth. A few reminders:

1. Flu vaccines are among the most rigorously studied and monitored vaccines available, with decades of research backing their safety and effectiveness. /1

Can we stop demonizing medications? They actually help for some and theres nothing to be ashamed of. This rhetoric increases stigma associated with these diseases and worsens disparities

[Craig Spencer MD MPH @Craig_A_Spencer]

10 years ago today I walked out of the hospital after surviving Ebola.

Back then I begged the world to strengthen our response to that crisis and prepare for others.

I’ve been reflecting on what we’ve learned over the last decade.

And the role of the U.S. in global health🧵

Let’s not go back to the time before vaccines.

[Jerome Adams @JeromeAdamsMD]

To whom it may concern:
- U.S. ranks 34th in global life expectancy. Our health sucks.
- The healthiest countries ALL have high trust in vaccines, and high childhood vaccination rates.
- Most all countries worse than U.S. have lower vax rates.
- Can’t MAHA without vaccines. 💉
