@RyanFMandelbaum That is an awesome queens day! Impressed in particular with how many ducks and shorebirds you were able to find.

my friends invited me to their annual attempt to see as many birds as possible in the nyc borough of queens and we broke the county record with *153 species in a single day!* (a few sensitive breeding species left of the list) ebird.org/tripreport/522…

With predictable long term consequences for wealth, health, and happiness. Pediatricians ought to be in the vanguard of tracking this, publicizing it, and intervening.

NEJM: New research reveals a massive concentration in medical malpractice: just 1% of all physicians account for 32% of all paid claims🩺⚖️ It seems risk isn't random—it's highly concentrated among a small group of practitioners. Full study: nejm.org/doi/pdf/10.105… @EricTopol

@AJBloodMD He was an extraordinary figure, so many key contributions!!

Saddened to hear of the passing of the man, the myth, the legend Eugene Braunwald. Inspired by his incredible career and the sheer magnitude of his impact - teaching and authoring papers well into his 90s. I am fortunate to count myself as someone who learned from him! May his memory be a blessing. His emphasis that patient care, research, and education can - and should - be part of the highest quality medicine we can continually practice and learn from is something I will always carry with me. @BrighamFellows, @bwhcvls, @TIMIStudyGroup, @ankeetbhatt, @nauffal_victor, @DeepakAtriMD, @SunnyVMD, @ZaidAlMarzooq

@EricTopol @NatureMedicine I agree with this in general but if it is to happen, we need public support for this kind of research.

Very nice paper by Sahil Sandhu and Michael Liu. secure-web.cisco.com/1jgyejFhdS9XPd…

@dhitchcox I think (?) he is joking. But maybe not!

I always thought putting company names in usernames was a little cringey, but I respect the hustle. Putting “Your Ad Here” is… something else.

@guttenbirder22 A couple of birders here just found the first tufted, tit mouse ever on Nantucket! That was cool.

How I’ll look at the rest of the Gallatin County birding community when I find the first Osprey this weekend
