@kalon_morgan Married + 2 kids. Sleep w/ white noise machine. Step into the bathroom or closet to take calls. Comms is tough. Text when we can. Prioritize 1:1 time after kids go down. At least 30-60 min. Date nights are rare, but we do nice dinners in when we can.

Redoing one of my very first 🧵for followers that didn't see it the first time...

Short🧵 about what it means when an instrument has a gold handle.

The gold handles look cool but are the instruments actually any better? Read on to find out...

@Delta Calling it quits after 4.5 hours on hold and staying awake until 1am. Disappointed.

[Stephen Wertheimer @smwertheimer]

@Delta Officially been on hold for over 4 hours tonight trying to change a flight with Skymiles. Website won’t allow me to do it online, and phones are backed up. I can’t stay up all night on hold.

Obesity is linked to a risk of certain types of cancer, such as liver cancer and uterine cancer. A recent study provides some clues as to why.

Excited to start the next stage of my training at UC Davis in a few short months!

Fascinating. For a system we so regularly use in medicine, I had no idea the history stretched back to the 1200s. And now understand why there’s no direct conversion to french.

1/ Why are hypodermic needles and IV catheters referenced by gauge numbers?

And why does the needle diameter get smaller as the gauge number increases?

Let's explore the obscure history of IV sizing in the following #histmed #tweetorial.

As someone who used to work in biotech as a US Reg Affairs Lead, this is a breathtaking timeline to see laid out. Truly impressive scientific and operational work done by all those involved. Excited to see these vaccines implemented and delivered to the public.

[Eric Topol @EricTopol]

This will go down in history as one of science and medical research's greatest achievements. Perhaps the most impressive.
I put together a preliminary timeline of some key milestones to show how several years of work were compressed into months.

@bzamayo And here I thought I had upgraded my iMac to enough RAM.

Some encouraging data this morning! Also bodes well for Moderna’s vaccine candidate. Cautiously optimistic for now. I’m curious to see outcome data for the elderly and on severe disease.

Fascinating account of an AI’s intersection with medicine. The clash between a clinicians need to understand the decision behind an algorithm, and the opaque nature of machine learning may be a significant hurdle to overcome. https://t.co/sbIu62RLMf

China has gone into a soft form of food rationing nationwide, as UN warns of worst global food crisis in 50 yrs. Everyone from Alibaba's Jack Ma to elementary students under pressure to comply. Some restaurants switch to half-portions, others issue fines. https://t.co/rinHSwd7KG

Ruth Bader Ginsburg inspired a generation. A force for change, she paved the way for so many women and fought for equality each step of the way. I hope we as a nation never forget her legacy, and continue to her fight for a fair and just world.
