Where does human experience meet the work we do to improve #policy & #practice through better #evidence & #implementation? A critical professional & personal question explored by @anabaumann.bsky.social at #EIS2025 #ISHCA.
“Sometime we all need a reminder of why we do the work.”
“We will get a different story depending on who we ask.”
@jaeleaskehan.bsky.social reflecting on @anabaumann.bsky.social’s key note challenge to consider:
“How are we conceptualising impact and for whom?”

Reflecting on @anabaumann.bsky.social’s key note Andile Madowela of the Pan African Collective:
“It requires of us to let go of hierarchies of evidence. . . to be responsive to the needs of people on the ground.”

Astounding and devastating visualization of N.I.H. grants that have been terminated

How do you decide which theory, model, or framework (TMF) should guide your next implementation project? Our team has just published SELECT-IT in @implementsci.bsky.social — a four-step meta-framework that turns that question into a replicable process: doi.org/10.1186/s130... @jgrimshaw.bsky.social
NIH is going to hold a town hall for staff with director Jayanta Bhattacharya, and apparently the form to submit questions is publicly available. In case that’s of interest.

Your periodic reminder that one way to think about privilege is: who's allowed to make mistakes?
🎉Fantastic to see our update to the Cochrane review on Audit and Feedback in healthcare published!
So much work went into this huge project by a worldwide team, expertly led by Noah Ivers 👏
A must read for anyone wanting to improve the quality of healthcare 👇

According to DisabilityJustice.org, 83% of disabled women will be sexually abused in their lifetime. You must include disabled women in your conversations about choice and reproductive rights. I’m included in that percentage. Please think about us.

Agreed with Gillian here.
If you called your Senator (or didn't) to tell them to vote against a trans sports ban, it's important that you also call them and thank them for their vote.
NO Democrat broke on this.

Follow us, share our stuff, add stuff we should know about. What I know now is THERE IS A LOT GOING ON, and we want you to know it. There's strength in seeing that we're not alone, not all passive in the face of this.... bsky.app/profile/resi...
Resist List They want us to think we’re alone. We are not. The Resistance is Everywhere. Hopescroll through stories of people’s noncooperation against Trump’s coup. Jump to databases of noncooperation or trackers of ligitation and impact. Follow our social media accounts to stay updated.
THE RESIST LIST IS HERE.
Proud my team just started this @resistlist.bsky.social, which will list actions that happened and that are slated to happen.
Feb 4 meeting of National Heart, Lung, and Blood Advisory Council CANCELLED. On Feb 6 2024 they approved 8 billion dollars of medical research in those areas. An equivalent sum now missing in 2025. www.nhlbi.nih.gov/events/2024/...
Thank you for submitting your Letter of Intent (LOI) to CZI. We appreciate your interest in our work. CZI has decided not to continue with the second round of its Science Diversity Leadership Awards. We are committed to supporting groundbreaking research that advances the frontiers of scientific knowledge in pursuit of our mission to cure, prevent, or manage all diseases by the end of the century. We will provide information on future funding opportunities. We look forward to staying in touch. Bil Clemons, Program Officer, CZI
Pretty sad. Just got the email that CZI is canceling the second round of Diversity Leadership Awards. Private industry will definitely not fill the hole that NIH and NSF are leaving. 😢💔
On Friday night, HHS ordered CDC to take down all flu vaccine campaign materials from its website. Materials are starting to come down.
For example, a campaign explaining that flu shot can reduce flu severity from "wild to mild" is now offline. Left image is from Friday, right is now
Meanwhile...
We have been hard at work this weekend getting organized!
🚨IF YOU FEEL YOU HAVE THE CHOPS TO LEAD A PROTEST SITE FILL OUT THE FORM🚨
Our goal is to solidify protest locations by FRIDAY 2/21! So, let’s get cracking, everyone!

New data from the #CDC shows that the 2024-2025 #flu season is becoming more intense. Acute necrotizing encephalopathy is showing up as a complication in children and MRSA pneumonia in adults. Get the flu #vaccine. www.skepticalraptor.com/skepticalrap...
This is a program for teenagers with serious disabilities who are finishing high school and transitioning to their next steps in life. Trump just axed it, effective immediately, in the middle of the night, with no notice.
Doing the unthinkable: The deep cuts to the #CDC's workforce today are expected to decimate the Epidemic Intelligence Service, a program that has trained public health rapid responders for decades.
Envy of the world. Poof!

Measles has a 12% mortality rate in unvaccinated young children.
Children cannot be vaccinated until they are at least 12 months old.
And if infants need to be kept home and out of daycare to avoid potentially fatal measles outbreaks...
Guess who that removes from the workforce.

Important from @meganranney.bsky.social and @atulgrovermd.bsky.social on solvable problems with US Health Care. "If we could eliminate deaths from just 3 external causes...alcohol, drugs, and firearms...we would nearly close the life expectancy gap between the US and other developed countries."
- There is a “Stand up for Science” event happening on March 7, 2025 in DC (standupforscience.org).
- Federal workers: Watch for changes in your work processes and not any changes you’re asked to make. Document everything.
Great new resource from @debeaumontfndtn.bsky.social on public health comms - with both well-tested language, and actionable tips.
This is FABULOUS.

Seems we need to get the word out: NIH cuts impact our ability to get the care we need AND cost our states billions of dollars. Here's my attempt - just don't tell my kids I was lighting things on fire while they were at school :)
Imagine if @aoc @sanders.senate.gov , every dem, SIMULTANEOUSLY held Town Halls where they allowed grant and contract recipients to explain to the country what it is they do and why it's important
