Revealing truths 🙏@ushamcfarling #HealthEquity research is "in vogue..a gold rush mentality where researchers w/ little or no background/training, often white and already well-funded, are rushing in to scoop up grants and publish papers." https://t.co/LxOrEckenv #HST440 #MSC1004

Why put loved ones in LTC after COVID exposed the horrific conditions? Today's #HST440 seminar by @valerie_dawe, @zeinHST440, @siena_HST440, @QinXiaoyuan, & @jinny_moon highlights the need for stricter safety measures, yet for-profit homes are still awarded gov. contracts...

I had no idea about surrogate vs clinical endpoints in trials until today's #HST440 seminar by @Abcdefg29748049, @PersadSian, @ShankeriV, & @tsurusho_ryu. If we can't rely on regulatory bodies to ensure drug safety, then who can we trust? Regulatory reform needs to be a priority!

A “blame game” in research #misconduct? In reality, researchers who commit #misconduct are almost always protected, and rarely sanctioned, even when the misconduct harms patients. And if no consequences, *more* patients will be harmed. #HST440 #MSC1004 https://t.co/a8BQo8yeOf 🧵

Worth retweeting this - just to assure us that BigPharma is still #BigPharma. https://t.co/KeY4udGz4U #whistleblowers #accountability #fraud #HST440 #MSC1004

Today my group & I presented on race & gender inequalities in healthcare for our #HST440 seminar. As a woman of color, reading the research on these disparities is enraging. This report by @GovCanHealth thoroughly describes such issues & recommendations https://t.co/aOv0wUZri6

If today's #HST440 seminar on drug disasters didn't make you rethink your current prescriptions, what will? Bravo @TowersMik @NoelHST440 @MeghaBx @OsanaR4 @_Nik_Nac_ ! Your takeaways emphasized how we must take responsibility for our own medicines; blind trust is insufficient

Covid-19 illustrates the importance of long-underestimated airborne pathways and the need to protect people from breathing clean and pathogen-free air. We need cleaner air. #HST440

Opioids are infamous for a reason; the #HST440 seminar by @LucyPanko, @KyrahPewtner, @ShuqiChenHST440, @PeberdyLaura, & @LiangHST440 highlights the need for alternative pain therapies. This article reveals insufficient patient knowledge of opioid risks. https://t.co/58LEHwjAyK

@DrNancyOlivieri @fordnation Undisclosed conflicts of interest undermine scientific integrity and judgments. I wonder what this means for the future of McKinsey’s contracts with the FDA #hst440

Today's #HST440 seminar by @katnguyenHST440, @KTsiandoulas, @joycegc13, & @JessicaBuzzie was thought-provoking. It's interesting how whistleblower legal protections vary by area. There should be universal protections given the increasingly global nature of medical research.
