.. and 3) physician-scientists need to be more efficient than everyone else to be both a great physician and a great scientist. Thanks @AlviraLab for organizing a wonderful symposium with amazing fellow/junior faculty speakers, it was a privilege to share my work!

Sage wisdom from @dsrivastava_md at @UCSFPediatrics @StanfordPeds Pediatrician-Scientist Symposium about achieving success as physician-scientists and he highlighted 1) vision/values drive your decisions 2) big decisions should be driven by your values…

The people of Iran are beautiful. The leaders of Iran are insane. The people of Israel are beautiful. The leaders of Israel are insane. The people of America are beautiful. The leaders of America are insane.

BREAKING: Fareed Zakaria just gave a masterclass on everything that’s wrong with Donald Trump’s second term policies. This is incredible.

THIS IS WHAT I WANT TO SEE FROM EVERY DEMOCRAT IN OFFICE. Thank you, Congresswoman Melanie Stansbury

Our NIH grant to discover coronavirus antiviral meds was terminated today. With this grant, we had developed a better SARSCoV2 inhibitor than Paxlovid, and we recently discovered an improved drug that looks better than Pfizer's own second-generation inhibitor.

The NIH grant that supported 38 years of training the best pediatrician-scientists in the country (I’m a proud former recipient) was cancelled. It was just approved for a 5 year renewal. The @PSDP_AMSPDC is vital to our understanding of childhood diseases and making new therapies

@NIH has cancelled the 38-year running Pediatric Scientist Development Program @PSDP_AMSPDC essentially shutting down the pipeline of pediatrician-scientists who would transform child health in the future. This is devastating for the health of our nation's children. 1/2
