My research coordinator told me she cried when she heard my grant on @3wishesprogram.bsky.social in safety net hospitals got renewed. She told me even tho I have other projects, this was main reason she wanted to work for me--to bring #3WP to the underserved.

I love the people I work with.

Nice to see this paper published - really important topic to think about how we manage people who want to withdraw from a trial and the principles that are important in operationalising this.
