Gonna give myself non-pharmacogenic serotonin syndrome from how excited Cirque du Soleil makes me

[Kelly Olsen, PhD @KOmudphud]

Aquarium, Bodies exhibit, and front row center seats to a Cirque du Soleil show feel like the most fitting end to a Vegas conference- thanks for a great time #ACEP24 !

[Kelly Olsen, PhD @KOmudphud]

Really important points being made in the session on sickle cell disease in the ED- 60 minutes door to opioid time for pain crises sounds difficult with wait time but we don’t have the same resistance to a 10 minute time for EKGs; we can make this happen #ACEP24 #RF24

[Kelly Olsen, PhD @KOmudphud]

Really fantastic talk on cardiogenic shock and mechanical cardiovascular support this morning at #ACEP24 #RF24

[Read Raising Expectations (and Raising Hell) @JPHilllllll]

Thinking about how “climate change will manifest as a series of disasters viewed through phones with footage that gets closer and closer to where you live until you're the one filming it” as @PerthshireMags said.

[Kelly Olsen, PhD @KOmudphud]

Really wonderful talks in the Substance Use Disorder section- I was particularly impressed by the talk by Madeleine Parrish about MOUD rates with coexisting opioid and methamphetamine use #ACEP24 #RF24

[Kelly Olsen, PhD @KOmudphud]

Another thing I would love to see more of- less admin burden for residents! Great talk by Dr. Shaker #ACEP24 #RF24

[Kelly Olsen, PhD @KOmudphud]

At day 1 of ACEP as part of the Medical Student Scholars Program- very excited to learn at the Research Forum over the next few days! #ACEP24 #RF24

[Kelly Olsen, PhD @KOmudphud]

Really interesting talk from Dr Swenson on Access Center Physician systems to improve rural transfers- hopefully more places will adopt this model #ACEP24 #RF24

I’ve never been under anesthesia and I’m still relatively new at running a lab, but I assume this message to my team is the standard approach?

[Jason Sheltzer @JSheltzer]

Fascinating new preprint on bioRxiv tackles a whale of a question:

Whales are huge. So why don’t they get a ton of cancers?

Now this is how you get me to want to publish with you

[Kelly Olsen, PhD @KOmudphud]

I honestly feel like every middle and high school should have you do this every year
