50 plus slides of what you already know + the word “alignment” = 15 million per hospital and the illusion of a “Strategy” … #cmgsays

Just published: Over 50 years of FDA data on chronic pain devices — we analyzed 1,718 510(k) clearances.

The landscape has quietly gone global (US share ~98% → ~43%) — and software-driven, with VR pain therapies emerging after 2016.

Had a great learning experience working with @CMichaelGibson on WikiDoc — valuable opportunity to contribute to open-access medical education. Highly recommend it.

20 years ago over New Years, I founded https://t.co/651gAsLxGX , a free, copyleft, open access textbook of medicine.

Thousands of doctors have edited it millions of times.

It is viewed over a billion times per year.

Intelligence isn't about knowing more.

It's the ability to rewire your brain faster.

This is neuroplasticity.

HRV is tied to sleep, mood & heart health.
But what about pain?

@KristinSainani @statsandstories @ReginaNuzzo @john_bailer @rompenni For next episode I think this might be very interesting https://t.co/Qt1KGUL3HC

@CMichaelGibson There should be a WikiDoc LLM model

@hubermanlab @NIH Doesn't suck to be an early career scientist in 2025?

Daily pill #orforglipron from Eli Lilly improves blood sugar (Hba1C drops 1.2% to 1.5%), and lowers weight 7.5%

Novo has an oral version of Ozempic on the market, but it’s a peptide, whereas Lilly’s orforglipron is a small molecule, making it much easier and cheaper to manufacture and distribute

PhD programs are pausing admissions to graduate school due to NIH indirect cost cuts. See the growing number of programs here: https://t.co/3j759AlhGL

How is science supposed to advance with fewer trainees, less $ for research? This is devastating.
