The name of the town that I grew up in has gone from Delmar to Old Delmar. Ruthless.
Sorry we can’t make it this year, but we did use the IHPI pickleball paddles a bunch this summer!
Deirdre, this is so awesome! Congratulations! I’ll be sure to lose at Oh, Hell to congratulate you!

Totally. For these GLP trials the key Q is no longer if it works. It’s does it lead to an FDA indication and do the insurers feel obligated to cover it. (In America at least.)
Do Gen Xers even know about Hotel Transylvania 3? It’s also a staple of class parties, kiddy dance lessons, etc. It will outlast us all. m.youtube.com/watch?v=GLcr...
Meta’s income statement (via @simongerman600.bsky.social), their R&D budget, for VR glasses, the metaverse, and to show you 0.2% more effective adds, is nearly equal to the NIH budget…
No, but I've heard crazier things. academic.oup.com/jcem/article...

Also, probably the first time I've been described with a dude in leather and no shirt hitting people with a chair. It's a new me.
It's true for all mentors! It's kind of the job! I'm not accusing your claws of being any sharper than others'.
True. For mentees you’re the bear lol.
Do you know any clinical study that makes Lp(a) testing seem really valuable? One where it increases overall risk prediction in any population for example?
Not sure why we're seeing Lp(a) treated as though it's valuable for regular use. The clinical data is unimpressive. jamanetwork.com/journals/jam... jamanetwork.com/journals/jam... www.ahajournals.org/doi/full/10....
So sorry to see this. Best of luck on next steps.

Man, I totally saw a joke like that coming and almost used a different word. I should trust my juvenile instincts.
Uninformative priors create uninformative posteriors.
Our new research: primary care docs manage 15 portal messages/tasks for every hour of patient facing care. 17/hr for family med docs/ doi.org/10.1007/s116... #medsky #primarycare #familymedicine
Agreed. Primary Care-Mental Health is a national program where you're supposed to have a mental health expert (usually psychiatric social work) available for real-time handoffs straight from clinic for evaluation. Here it works quite well.
Lincare Made Billions While Repeatedly Defrauding Medicare. Feds Did Little To Rein It In.

Lincare is paid to rent oxygen equipment to patients, with HHS covering most of the monthly bills. But those rental fees often add up to many times what it would cost simply to buy the equipment.

Published an opinion piece in @bmj.com with @raj-mehta.bsky.social. I bet no one has opinions about the topic.

The biggest limitation of AUROC is it is nonparametric, so it does not evaluate calibration at all. When applying risk tools, that’s a huge problem. Some of the technical issues (“not proper”) are described in that paper.
