Independence Day is a reminder that America is not the project of any one person. The single most powerful word in our democracy is the word ‘We.’ ‘We The People.’ ‘We Shall Overcome.’ ‘Yes We Can.’ America is owned by no one. It belongs to all citizens. And at this moment in history—when core democratic principles seem to be continuously under attack, when too many people around the world have become cynical and disengaged—now is precisely the time to ask ourselves tough questions about how we can build our democracies and make them work in meaningful and practical ways for ordinary people.

Woolen et al measured the energy expenditures during specific MRI protocols on different field-strength magnets. Read on to see the results! #RadGoesGreen @UCSFimaging @SeanWoolenMD @KateHanneman @SusieHuangMDPhD @Azitabari @Voss_MD @NeuroDx bit.ly/4jGof2n

Reducing MRI scan times could add thousands of exam slots, generating up to $22 million in new revenue per practice. @radiology_rsna @RSNA @SiemensHealth @SeanWoolenMD @UCSFimaging @xrayimagingamy @SusieHuangMDPhD @Azitabari @KateHanneman @Voss_MD @NeuroDx ow.ly/tgnH50VGCVn

Joint letter to @NIH from several national physician groups explains the essential role of a research ecosystem that includes federal investment - and why #IndirectCosts are part of @NIH grants. NIH helped make US the global powerhouse in med innovation. aans.org/wp-content/upl…

What are “indirects costs” and why are they so high ? These are the institutional costs that allow the research to be conducted across all studies like: Utilities like heat, AC, water, electricity, phone & internet costs Facilities costs like rent, costs of the building and its upkeep, remodeling, painting, new carpet, desks, furniture, lab equipment, IT costs or cloud services Personnel costs like finance, legal, support staff, housekeeping, administrative costs, IT services, data security, security officers, front desk, quality assurance, compliance, and human resources Service contracts on stuff like xerox machines We are self-insured and faced a 27% increase in premiums this year, we put away money for our employees for their 401K plan, we reimburse for their tuition expenses, there are very very large cybersecurity expenses, there are liability costs, there are expenses related to ensuring privacy law compliance by outside entities It’s an expensive enterprise and differs from other businesses in the costs of equipment and IT cybersecurity costs
