I teach a course at the @JohnsHopkinsSPH and I am trying to figure out how to handle student use of AI tools. Saying "forbidden!" seems out-of-touch in 2026. Considering leaning into transparency and accountability instead. Thoughts? Experience?

Tremendous progress @CoachFralick and the MSU Spartan WBB team over the last 3 years! NCAA Seed: 9, 7, 5. Next up: 3 and 1.

Diagnostic error is the most underfunded public health crisis in America today. For nearly 400K deaths, Dx Error research gets <$75/death (some diseases get >$400,000/death). To achieve Diagnostic Excellence (DX), this must change. #DollarsForDX @DNewmanToker @HopkinsDXCenter
