@AlkhouriNaim @NoureddinMD @liver4kids @MaisamHaijaMD @CincyChildrens Very important study on NAFLD in AYA. The risk is not all about advanced age.

@elonmusk @MrBeast I have searched long and hard. @elonmusk and I have something in common. We r both gastroenterologist but surely his message is much more effective.

[Samir Softic @SamirSofticMD]

@GuptaMetaOmics Nice work Manoj!

[Samir Softic @SamirSofticMD]

It’s nice to have long-term goals. Working on them tirelessly and making a small, persistent, positive change is what counts. The end goal is not so important. That’s why I admire people with crazy dreams.

@valleyhack Essentially. Long-term purpose of my Tesla stock is to help make life multiplanetary to ensure it’s continuance. The massive capital needs are in 10 to 20 years. By then, if we’re fortunate, Tesla’s goal of accelerating sustainable energy & autonomy will be mostly accomplished.

PMID: 30507644 was initially written to answer a call for NAFLD name change by @AASLDtweets and submitted it as a 500 word editorial to @HEP_Journal. It was rejected by @DrLoomba. Probably rightfully so. It is difficult to say how inadequate NAFLD name is in 500 words.

[Samir Softic @SamirSofticMD]

We have been advocating for a NAFLD name change for years. Telling us what liver disease is not, is not helpful. That is like me saying nice to meet you. My name is NOT @realDonaldTrump. We suggested a new name in a publication PMID: 30507644.

[Rohit Loomba @DrLoomba]

Official terminology for AASLD publications remains NAFLD.....that's what we should use for now....
AASLD NASH Task Force is working with other international societies @EASL_ilf @APASLnews @AASLDtweets to develop a framework for the consensus process to discuss this in future

Very tasty!

If Pope Francis learned to use twitter there is a hope that I can do it too. Love #RenewableEnergy and #OnlyBluePlanet

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

In some places, #cooperatives are being developed to exploit renewable sources of energy which ensure local self-sufficiency. They can make a real difference in the fight against climate change, thanks to a strong sense of community and a deep love for the land.
