@ProfMattFox I'm very curious who started this trend ..was it someone who worked for SAS maybe?

@AnkurFactorial Love this! In Tamil we call it vendaykai ..our family recipe uses mustard seeds, cumin, asafoetida, turmeric, coriander and red chili powder ...my favorite plus apparently it improves math skills 😂

If you were wondering what's been happening with paediatric #COVID19 hospitalisations recently...

They are currently at their lowest rate since September 2021

Schools fully open, no mitigations

[Chandra Gopalakrishnan @drchandra86]

@gag_aggarwal Not wrong at all ...also ..it was a tech company so I'm doubly not surprised😒

@VPrasadMDMPH But Vinay...what if the policy goal is to prevent the 2nd or 3rd re-infection 😂 (actual argument on twitter)...it never ends !

[Joseph Allen @j_g_allen]

Me: I think when people gather it's a good idea to be vaccinated, boosted, and test prior to arrival.

Outrage twitter: you don't care about workers, immunocompromised people, ventilation, low booster rates, vaccines for <5s, public health, global vaccine equity...

@VPrasadMDMPH @Plenary_Session @kjmeetswrld Which would you rather do..teach 6 courses a year (hard money positions) or apply for 6 different grants (soft money positions) ?

[Greg Lukianoff @glukianoff]

1 thing I think @JonHaidt & I got wrong in our 2018 book COTAM is that we ended on a hopeful note even though we thought the problem was going to get worse before it got better. Now we both think we are in serious trouble for a long time coming https://t.co/gijRIRmrLI

@statsepi I'm just happy I came to the US in 2012 (BU MPH $60,000) and not 2022 (BU MPH $80,000) 😱 ...starting salary for MPH grads are pretty stagnant ...but hell yea we are #6 rank baby 😆

[Chandra Gopalakrishnan @drchandra86]

@anish_koka Lol fair point

[Chandra Gopalakrishnan @drchandra86]

@statsepi after 2 years of garbage covid obs studies tht cld easily be front page news/policy tomorrow ..I'm less concerned abt red wine/olive oil studies..maybe ppl in the field are able to sort out the bad studies over the years and gain some knowledge? Also seen more nutrition RCTs
