Anyone finishing their PhD soon and interested in healthcare, data science, and working with patients and their data? We have an open postdoc position @UW's Biomedical Informatics and Medical Education program! Happy to answer any questions! bime.uw.edu/apply-to-post-…

@wendywchapman @DT4Health Such an important issue that doesn't get discussed enough or considered in the design of technology!

Jen Morris: Interoperability of patient data across health settings can be a curse when inaccurate or biased information about a patient is passed along and the patient can’t escape or start with a clean slate #DigitalHealthWeek23 @DT4Health

@laurielovett Congratulations!

Honored that our paper led by Jennifer Hong has won the Diana Forsythe Award at #AMIA2022. Forsythe was a groundbreaking anthropologist in informatics who wrote about women in tech, patient-centric informatics, and AI ethics long before they were cool. academic.oup.com/jamia/article-…

Honored to receive this award at the intersection of informatics and ethics, named after the amazing Samantha Adams. Thanks to my co-author Hyeyoung Ryu.

@SurvivorshipIT Thank you! It's particularly rewarding to receive an award named after the amazing Samantha Adams.

Florida just announced the results of an analysis that they performed, saying the results show "an increased risk of cardiac-related death among men 18-39" for the mRNA vaccines, and recommend this group not receive these vaccines. Is this justified? Let's look at the data...

@katestarbird So sorry to hear what you are going through. Your work is critical for our society's survival! We need better laws and policies to protect you and your team and so many others fighting to combat mis and dis information.

Exciting opportunity for a postdoc to work with a great team on Designing Trans Technologies!

This is why 2nd boosters should be available for all health care workers now. A report on ~30,000 Israeli HCWs indicates 65% lower risk of breakthrough infections during the Omicron wave (4 vs 3 doses) @JAMANetworkOpen jamanetwork.com/journals/jaman…

This is our @CDCgov X No warning on BA.5 X Still says 2 vaccine doses ="fully vaccinated" X Says 5 days is all that's needed for isolation when 5 days is the median length of infectiousness X 1 in 4 age 50+ w/ 2nd booster (<-survival benefit) X Transmission is the accurate map👇

@elena_agapie So sorry to hear that. Take care, and I hope you feel better soon.

Being at #CHI2022 was wonderful. I got so much out of it. But I also got COVID, after 2 year of being very careful. I’m doing ok for now. If we’ve interacted, I hope you’re safe and healthy. Please take all the measures you can to protect each other.

Great tips embedded in too common story of how challenging and inequitable our healthcare system is

You think you’re safe. You’re not. The right is coming for trans kids, trans adults, LGBTQ people, anyone who gets pregnant, anyone of color, anyone on a visa, anyone immunocompromised. The only people who are safe are healthy rich white cis het men. Sharpen your pitchforks.

So proud of my kid advocating for more research on chronic health issues in transgender people.
