1st time at @UCSFHospitals we have near real-time data fueling a campus-wide dashboard! Response to #COVID19 includes forming DAV (data/analyt/vis) collab, pooling skills across the org, transforming how we work. 🦄dash/mart dev by Rhiannon Croci, J Yim. #healthinformatics

Potential futures for Austin-Round Rock MSA that depend heavily on limiting physical interactions. Will we look more NYC or like Singapore? Great work of @UTAustin Prof Lauren Meyers @TexasScience #COVID @mpignone88 @MayorAdler @JudgeEckhardt @DellMedSchool @AusPublicHealth

again:

pregnant people are not more likely to be severely infected by #COVID19 than non-pregnant people

they are more likely to be severely AFFECTED

they deserve our focus and they deserve our innovation to ensure we can provide the care and support they need

@ChrisMoriates @CostsofCare My bill was over $50k for my outpatient 5th metatarsal ORIF. Guesses from Welsh and Norwegian colleagues: $2-5k. Off by an order of magnitude! Shows how foreign and ridiculous our US healthcare billing practices are to the rest of the world. #choosingwiselyberlin

[Chris Moriates, MD @ChrisMoriates]

.@ValueVictoria discussing w colleagues from Wales and Netherlands her story of the bill from her outpatient foot surgery and the absurdity of medical costs in the US.

@calvinmdewilde @rstatstweet Nope mean() does not evaluate in excel! Only average() 😝

[Victoria Valencia @ValueVictoria]

Why?!?!? Any other #rstats folks do this in excel? It gets me every time!!

[Karen Born @bornk]

So I’m on the stats/pets spam text list now? I’m not replying but adorable-ness in dogs is abstract and relative so not sure you could do this. Plus both are cute so who cares you silly stats text bot.

[Victoria Valencia @ValueVictoria]

@Pahwa @medpedshosp @hvpaa @SHMLive I like this! I’m inspired to try it out for my next conference!

Tip for debugging plots (in ggplot2) from @ClausWilke:

1. Save your plot (for example, as 'figure')
2. Call layer_plot(figure)

Now you can see the data that ggplot2 is using to generate your plot to help you debug! #rstats
