Trying a golf metaphor... NIH research = running a golf club 🏌️‍♂️ Direct costs: golf balls, clubs, green fees (researchers, equipment). Indirect costs: maintain the course, clubhouse staff, water the greens (keep the lab running). No clubhouse = no golf No indirects = no research

Patient’s mom is an ICU nurse, watching me enter her child’s vitals into Epic Mom: I have never seen a doctor ever enter vitals before! Me: Well, we have really good doctors…

When you report all your AEs, no exception 🤣
I just love that there was a child who swallowed a penny in the Pfizer 5-11 year old trial. Like if ever you needed an example of an adverse event that had nothing to do with the intervention.

Awesome #COVID19 epi work by Charlie Bailey, Hanieh Razzaghi, Evanette Burrows and Chris Forrest! @PEDSnet @ChildrensPhila
In @PEDSnet, positive tests for #SARSCoV2 and severe #COVID19 are uncommon. Positive tests and severe infection were more common with some chronic conditions (but not asthma), minority ethnicity, and age <1 or >11 ja.ma/3lWzCWw

This is hilarious! I absolutely use the words "optimize" and "organizational structure" way too much and I still haven't found a way to explain what I do to my friends. 😂

Why has the United States handled this pandemic so badly? The Editors note that although we came into this crisis with enormous advantages, our current political leaders have demonstrated that they are dangerously incompetent.
