You won't ever know if what you did personally helped. That's the nature of public health. When the best way to save lives is to prevent a disease rather than treat it, success often looks like an overreaction.

[Hayley Gershengorn @HBGMD]

🤔 Ever wonder how to measure functional recovery after respiratory failure?🚶‍♀️💪

At a time when the audio industry is in complete disarray, I'm SO PROUD to share that New York Public Radio has agreed to recognize our UNIONIZATION effort for a bunch of workers @WNYCStudios @WQXR @TheGreenSpace who -- til now -- the company had blocked from joining @sagaftra.

[Nicky Hawley @nickyhawley]

Long shot! Do any of my human biology/bioanth friends happen to have a Quantum II BIA Analyzer gathering dust in their office? You would be my best friend for life if you'd let my team in Samoa borrow it! Ours is broken mid-study and it's discontinued! @RJLBIA

[Mari Armstrong-Hough @MariInTokyo]

My @nyupublichealth students gave me a bobble-head of myself and it is delightful. Class of 2023, you're almost there!

[Pranay Sinha @Pranay_md]

But the world is making an even bigger mistake by restricting the discourse on TB to the biomedical realm.

We eliminated most of the TB in the US before there were any meds & vaccines through action on social determinants like food and housing.

It’s time to learn from the past.

[Mari Armstrong-Hough @MariInTokyo]

So, so fortunate to get to work with this agile thinker, thought-provoking collaborator, generous mentor and tremendously decent human. Talking to @iwashyna makes us all smarter.

[Bloomberg Distinguished Professors @JHU_BDPs]

We are excited to announce that Jack @iwashyna is the newest @JohnsHopkins Bloomberg Distinguished Professor! Iwashyna aims to improve health outcomes and quality of life for survivors of critical illness. Read about his innovative research: https://t.co/jt1jsPXlVM

Finally found a week to visit Tokyo, and it is undeniably the worst week of the year to be in Tokyo. Will *anyone* be in the city in August?

[Mari Armstrong-Hough @MariInTokyo]

@GYamey @DukeChapel Gorgeous! I too appreciated the elevated, still place to briefly make space between different parts of my day. At Yale I stopped by the art gallery for the same reason. Now that I teach somewhere that is never, ever still I understand how precious and productive that silence was.

[Mari Armstrong-Hough @MariInTokyo]

@GYamey @DukeChapel As a student, I used to stop by the chapel on my way back from Japanese class for a quiet moment. Still my favorite campus of everywhere I've studied and worked.

[Deadric T. Williams @doc_thoughts]

The idea of "cultural competency" does not sit well with me for some reason. It feels like back-door essentialism. How about "structural competency?" -- places emphasis on the system that produces "cultural" responses.

"New York City is one of the first places in the world to offer this regimen to people with TB, and I wish more places would follow New York's lead." - TAG TB Project Co-Director Mike Frick, on NYC Dept. of Health's use of newer, safer 4-month cure for TB

@MeredithLClark My neck is sore today from the one with headbanging.

[Mari Armstrong-Hough @MariInTokyo]

@crowell_sheila It made me more intentional about building a life that would mitigate my own risk, even as an adolescent. Compared to peers, I found it easier to de-center myself and understand that others' behavior wasn't necessarily about me.

[Mari Armstrong-Hough @MariInTokyo]

NYU's exceptional contract faculty are a HUGE part of what makes it an exciting, engaging university. While I'm not contract faculty, I value and respect my contract colleagues. And the majority of them say they want a union!

[CFU UAW @CfuUaw]

Today we delivered a petition to @nyuniversity President Andy Hamilton signed by a majority of contract faculty—over 500 of us from each school and department—urging the administration to agree to a fair and expeditious process to verify our majority. https://t.co/Ic2FncqDyn

Last day of a delightful, insightful, and energizing #CROI2023 - but the beloved nerd backpacks are forever.

[NEJM @NEJM]

#CROI2023: Treatment for tuberculosis, a leading cause of death worldwide, typically involves 6 months of continuous therapy. In the TRUNCATE-TB trial, a strategy involving shorter initial treatment was noninferior to standard treatment. https://t.co/oeIlHaPZ41
