@StatGirlLAM @hallmarkchannel Stop. It.

@BirkenLab @hallmarkchannel has a Hanukkah movie: "Love, Lights, Hanukkah!" hallmarkchannel.com/love-lights-ha…

🕎In prep for an early Chanukah, Cheyenne asked the following: "Are there any Chanukah rom-coms?" A: thewrap.com/8-hanukkah-mov… Few are actually rom-coms. Most are only loosely Hanukkah-related; see Night Before Christmas description of "Seth Rogen dons a dorky Hanukkah sweater"

Join my team! I'm hiring a research associate @UrologyMSK to help support on going smoking cessation and testicular cancer survivorship research and grants. Send to interested folks / apply here: careers.mskcc.org/jobs/job-detai… DM w/ questions

@DrRachelShelton We appreciated your excellent presentation with @PrajaktaAdsul yesterday! You deserve the rest 🙌🏼

Sunny and gorgeous blue-sky fall day in Brooklyn ☀️! This week was packed w/ meetings & presentations, so today I'm soaking up the sunshine with outdoor meetings on the stoop-- look for pumpkins, spiderwebs, and bats on our next Zoom call 🎃

Excited to launch Collaborative for Implementation Practice @UNC_SSW. Follow us @imppractice! We aspire to center the human experience in implementation to advance equity. implementationpractice.org @implementEIC @effectiveserv @robynmildon @Bianca_Albers @AnnetteBoaz @TCI_ca

Yes and... de-implementation also requires changes in organizational culture, climate, structure, and more; individual humility, integrity, knowledge requires institutional support 😌cc @helfrich_c @DrMParchman @bjweiner

Proud to present this on behalf of an all-star group - aua2021.app.swapcard.com/event/aua-2021… An implementation strategy w/ clinical decision support tool plus provider education can increase use of evidence-based tobacco screening/treatment in VA clinics #impsci @gorejohn @UclaUrology @vahsrd

🙌Pumped to talk about #OTIS #DIscience21! We'll present brief summaries of 9 org theories for #impsci. Know something about #orgtheory? Want to contribute to our framework! Let us know! We've got $50 to thank you for your time 😁

👋Urologic oncologists! Who's got refs for stats on % patients w/hematuria risk-stratified by criterion? Age, sex, smoking are strongest predictors of bladder cancer. But what are the stratification-driving criteria? What % are stratified based on age alone? Age+sex, etc.?

@M_Jefford @BirkenLab @dkmayer52 @ShelMollica @maryam_lustberg @bogda_koczwara @DenaOMalleyPhD @UrquhartRobin @ShawnaVHudson @corp_UNC Yup, more soon… @rayychan @Fiona_CW1

🤔Overbooking or delaying follow-up visits for low-risk breast cancer survivors (5+ years post-Stage 0-3 diagnosis, no adjuvant therapy)? 📣If so, we want to hear! We're interested in empirical & anecdotal evidence of how cancer programs accommodate these patients (or not).

@DrN_CancerPCP @M_Jefford @dkmayer52 @ShelMollica @maryam_lustberg @bogda_koczwara @DenaOMalleyPhD @UrquhartRobin @ShawnaVHudson @corp_UNC Not necessarily covid-related, but that’s an interesting angle, too!

@BirkenLab @M_Jefford @dkmayer52 @ShelMollica @maryam_lustberg @bogda_koczwara @DenaOMalleyPhD @UrquhartRobin @ShawnaVHudson @corp_UNC Do you mean during covid? If so, likely depends on where and which wave.
