Thank you for the opportunity to share the results of our work with the research community. Excited to continue working together to improve lung health in Uganda!

Superstar pediatric surgeon @LKelley_Quon continues to provide crucial insights into the complexities of pain control and opiate use in pediatric populations. So proud of my childhood bestie!
Very excited to see our paper examining the impact of IV Tylenol pricing on utilization for children with appendicitis published today in @SurgJournal. surgjournal.com/article/S003…

She manages to do it again. Another beautifully written piece that finds humanity in the inhumanity. @danielalamasmd @nytimes @HarvardPulm
“Here in Boston, months past the peak of the pandemic, we are in a strange sort of limbo. Time dilates.” Reflecting on one of our most unlikely saves, six months later. nytimes.com/2020/09/17/well/…
Another beautifully written, poignant piece by @danielalamasmd about the realities of critical care, evidence-based medicine, disparities, and how they’re interacting to influence covid-19 mortality.
High quality critical care, and the resources to deliver it, is a life saving therapy in covid-19 that is not available to all. nytimes.com/2020/08/04/opini…
I have learned so much from @Jakob_McSparron ‘s example in residency, fellowship, and as an ICU attending. His words speak for all of us. Beautifully written. Proud to know you, Jake. mcsweeneys.net/articles/than…
Couldn’t have asked for a better team to tackle such an important topic
Based on our experience with COVID-19 RCTs @MGHMedicine, @CrystalNorthMD, Mike Dougan @MGH_GI and I share some thoughts in @NEJM about the need to improve trial collaboration and enrollment across the US nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NE…
Thank you @engiattia and @rsknipe!

In the words of a dear friend: Kneeling on someone’s neck for 8 minutes and 46 seconds is pre-meditated. It is our responsibility to no longer stay silent #whitecoatsforblacklives… instagram.com/p/CBEDAaljaQzF…
Just another reason why @katrinarmstrong is the best physician-in-chief, #pandemicrules or not. Attending on service AND barber simultaneously - she really can do it all. @MGHMedicine
Physician in chief @katrinarmstrong brings the barber shop to @MGHMedicine. First customer @NinoNJ “two across the top, 1.5 on the sides and square the edges.”
So, so, so honored to have been just one of countless people involved in his care in the MGH MICU. Critical care saves lives! @HarvardPulm @nytimes nytimes.com/2020/04/26/healt…
