In their new paper published in the August issue of Health Affairs, @AleksandraGoals + coauthors from @Penn explored the effects of an employee #COVID19 vaccination mandate at a long-term care network in 2021. https://t.co/RzDngOFdJ0
🌟New study in @Health_Affairs!🌟
We assessed a company-wide COVID-19 vaccine mandate on long term care employee vaccination and separation. Of 1,208 unvaccinated employees, 56% got vaccinated and 21% (3.7% of the workforce) were fired for noncompliance. https://t.co/MvSADkAHw8
Mandates can boost vaccine uptake while minimally affecting employee separation. Though the federal mandate for COVID-19 vaccination in nursing homes has ended, outbreaks will continue. Maintaining these mandates may be less controversial than reinstating them in future crises.
1/ Big news! "Dear Pandemic: A topic modeling analysis of COVID-19 information needs among readers of an online science communication campaign," is out in @PLOSONE! https://t.co/gAe7V2jQZV
2/ The upshot? @DearPandemic readers sought info from trusted #SciComm experts on topics like immunology, vaccination, parenting, and infodemiology - not only to learn about these new pandemic-related concepts, but also to understand how they might impact their personal lives

If we have NFTs & blockchain & CMOs & other fancy financing vehicles...
....SURELY someone could invent a way for 1-year pilot grant awardees to bank/pre-pay some of the grant budget towards future Article Processing Charges or Open Access fees.
Right? Someone?? Anyone?!?
@betacellpodcast 1:20, but can be as much as 1:10 depending on stress, hormones, etc. I feel like I’m a lot more insulin resistant compared to others with my body composition/activity level.
Applying for URiM (LGBTQ+) scholarships for my away rotations, and I’m disappointed to have not seen a single institution list disability as being underrepresented in medicine. About 20% of the US population has a disability, but only 1-3% of practicing physicians do. A 🧵: (1/5)
