Men han har jo ikke noget paa. 🇩🇰 UCLA Columbia, MIT (math/science) You can show people data, but can't make them think. ᐊᒡᒐᐃᑦ ᐲᕐᓗᒋᑦ ᐊᑯᑭᑦᑐᑦ, ᐊᐅᐸᔮᖅᑐᖅ ᑲᑉᐱᐊᓇᖅᑐᖅ
Medicine lost a hero this week. It's wrong to say taht Eugene Braunwald was A giant of cardiology. Because he was THE giant of cardiology -- the biggest force in the field for as long as I've been covering heart disease. His realization that a heart attack was not a single event but a process you can stop probably saves hundreds of thousands of American lives a year. When people get nostalgic for the 1950s, one thing they don't realize is that back then a third to half of people who had an MI *died*. Now it's less than one person in 10! But he didn't stop with that! He founded and ran the clinical trials group at Harvard that is STILL one of the biggest forces in collecting data on new medicines. Cardiology became one of the specialties that was best at deciding how to treat patients based on data, not just on doctor's "clinical experience." I got to talk to him a bunch of times and he was smart, sharp, and could get frustrated with reporters who didn't like data. A huge loss this week -- but he gave us all so very much.. tctmd.com/news/eugene-br…
RFK Jr: "A Democratic senator claimed it's mathematically impossible to have a drug drop by 600%. I said, 'Well, if the drug was $100 and it raises to $600, that would be a 600% rise. If it drops from $600 to $100, that's a 600% savings.'" Trump: "Right"
The American Heart Association mourns the passing of the legendary cardiologist Eugene Braunwald, M.D., widely recognized as one of the most influential figures in the history of cardiovascular medicine. Over seven decades, his work reshaped the understanding and treatment of heart disease, leading many to call him the father of modern cardiology. Braunwald was a lifelong contributor to the American Heart Association, helping advance its research and scientific mission, and was honored with some of the Association’s highest honors for his lasting influence on cardiovascular care and research. His influence extended well beyond his own discoveries, as generations of Association‑supported investigators, clinicians and academic leaders were trained by Braunwald or guided by the clinical trial standards and mentorship models he helped establish. newsroom.heart.org/news/american-…
251 years ago, the first shots of the American Revolution were fired. On Patriots’ Day, we remember the courage shown at Lexington & Concord—as well as the inspiring idea that ordinary citizens can shape the course of history.
Pancreatic cancer mRNA vaccine shows lasting results in an early trial. Scientists caution that more research is needed, but nearly all of the patients who responded to the personalized vaccine are still alive six years later. nbcnews.com/health/cancer/…

Today, we honor and remember Officer Sean Collier. His dedication to the MIT community and his ultimate sacrifice will never be forgotten.
Remember, it was a Pope Leo who met Attila the Hun at the gates of Rome. Popes do participate in politics.
