Thank you @BeckersHR for recognizing Dr. Susan Ehrlich as one of the women hospital CEOs to know! We are inspired by her leadership of the City’s safety-net hospital and only Level 1 trauma center.

Over the last 100 years, science and research have become building blocks of America’s extraordinary strength.

President Trump is now dismantling them in just 100 days.

My thoughts @KFFHealthNews on proposed dismantling of @AHRQNews

We need safety research to protect our patients from harms in health care. No organization in the world does more for that than AHRQ.

Let the general public know. Thx to @ArthurAllen202 https://t.co/eYCOpFn6oQ

The end of @AHRQNews is a blow to the safety & quality fields.
I also just learned of the demise of AHRQ PSNet, which my @UCSF team & I launched ~20 years ago as the go-to federal patient safety resource, before handing it off to our friends @ucdavis for the past 6 years. RIP.

[Bob Wachter @Bob_Wachter]

So thrilled to welcome this extraordinary group of 64 young physicians to @UCSF and @UCSFimresidency. A great day!

🥧This #PiDay, let’s talk about how Indians shaped math, only for Europeans to take the credit. Take π. Everyone talks about Archimedes cracking the first two digits. But did you know about Mādhava?

Historian here:

“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”

― Theodore Roosevelt
