Did you know an estimated 99% of women who die in childbirth or from pregnancy-related complications live in developing countries?

Most of these deaths are preventable.

This #WorldHealthDay, stand with them by sharing this tile. ❀️

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

Emotional reactions to adverse events are a significant driver of burnout. Peer support (esp if trained) is effective.

Glad to see you including #nontechnical skills as crucial since β€œmajority of patient harm was caused by deviation from.. policy/procedure, clinical judgment issues, team-patient communication breakdown, lack of team coordination for the surgical safety checklist, distractions.”

A cohesive national strategy for surgical safety in πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦ is needed.

Today I lost an NIH grant training clinicians to do research about intimate partner violence with perinatal women.

More women are murdered in the perinatal period than die of obstetric complications.

I didn't just lose a grant. We lost an entire cohort of people building careers to prevent that.

Trump's attacks on universities get ever darker, with the shadows reaching our shores The US has become a hostile and authoritarian state to foreign scientists and is choosing ideology over science.

Colleagues are cancelling their US work trips. I worry that international colleagues in the US are at risk if they collaborate with us on certain topics.

I've written a new post about the increasing danger of being a foreign scientist in the US.

See this chart for one stark example: NIH funding has dramatically slowed down.

Grant awards are down *$3 billion* so far, compared to same time period last year

I asked the White House to explain.

β€œThis is not a researcher entitlement program,” said an official, defending their new approach.
