@RepGregMurphy Second, it is deeply concerning you are not able to understand what this shows, to read the x & y axes correctly. Please read the reader corrections below the tweet for what the chart shows.

@RepGregMurphy Do you feel your being chosen by a medical school also was their wrong choice? You left medicine. You are among the group in that chart, doctors that left clinical practice.

Unless our Medical Schools do a better job of screening admission candidates, we won’t have any Doctors. If you don’t want to practice FULL time for at least 20-25 years, pick another profession.

@CherokeeOwl How does his suit stay clean or get cleaned? That seems like messy business.

🔥 Yo, check out this 19-year-old dude cooking fried rice in a full suit 😂 His name’s Lu, from Yantai in Shandong. He started helping at his family’s night market stall at 17, and now at 19 he’s running the show — dressed like he’s going to a fancy dinner instead of slinging street food. Every night he rolls up in a sharp suit and tie, hair slicked back, and starts flipping massive woks with flames shooting everywhere. High-knee stance, egg catches, the whole show. People go crazy for it. He bangs out 200+ plates a night, each one done in about 3 minutes for like 10 yuan (~$1.40). That adds up to around 50,000 yuan a month (~$7k–$9k USD). Yeah, he’s the main one taking care of the family now. He tried the suit one day just to look more “proper” and it blew up. Everyone calls him the “Western Suit Fried Rice Brother” and half the comments say he looks like Sanji from One Piece. When folks doubted the money, he even went live to show the real numbers. This guy’s out here turning regular fried rice into a whole vibe with nothing but hard work and serious style. Absolute legend 👔🍳

@LorickFoxPA @StuartBlitz All the state level processes are a total pain and add barriers to getting needed staffing or talent.

Of course, the Constitution does not prohibit simplification. (That is not what I said.) I merely quoted the law on: authority over health is with the states in the Constitution. If states agree, they certainly can collaborate. A start up seeking to “solve” this would need to know the law prior to just assume. My advice to any start up founder: do understand the legal/regulatory landscape. guides.ll.georgetown.edu/c.php?g=364692…

It’s so dumb that physicians need to get a medical license in every state. They all have different processes and takes forever. Why doesn’t a startup create a national medical license? Physicians just pay an annual fee and can practice anywhere. Is anyone building this?

While I agree that the reframing is important, from a #data perspective. I wonder if some of the existing diagnoses will get lost because nobody will map the prior diagnostic terms to the current ones in the #EHR. So much is getting automated and turning towards AI that getting down into the weeds of the data is essential to ensure that women’s health actually is “seen” by the system.

This is good news. Women’s health needs to be radically reframed—diseases need to be renamed and they need to be researched, studied, and acknowledged. There’s a lot of work to do and each generation faces different issues. Medical schools need to teach women’s health and women need to be able to afford the care they need. This is an urgent national issue.

The lived reality vs the way the system collects data.

@acagamic I feel personally attacked 😂

You know that researcher who downloads 50 papers a week, tabs exploding like fireworks, but never actually reads or applies a damn thing? Yeah, that's procrastination. Sorry. One path: Hoard knowledge like a digital squirrel. Feel productive. Achieve zilch. The other: Pick one paper. Extract one idea. Test it today. Action outpaces hoarding. Breakthroughs live in your actions, not in your downloads folder. Get uncomfy. Stop scrolling. Take action now. (Looking at you, inbox 0 chasers.)

Love this.

Perhaps… (this is going to be a radical idea), we should put the money towards actual patient care activities, not Power Point decks by MBA in suits.

Spring in Boston

Now this is hilarious and brilliantly creative. Love it.

@Hemida_MD @SpringerNature Meanwhile, unless I can ask a colleague to do me the favor of review, if, as a guest editor, I just use the system’s recommended reviewers, I need to invite 50+ or 100+ to get three to agree and to complete it

I’m starting to think our manuscript at BMC Cardiovascular Journal didn’t go out for peer review. It went on a world tour. 😆 The editor didn’t just invite reviewers, they basically launched an open call to the entire cardiovascular community 😄

Twenty years ago, longevity medicine did not have a name. No standards, no curricula, no consensus on what counted as evidence. Today, Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (@ARPA_H) has committed $144 million through its PROSPR program to develop therapeutics that target the biology of aging directly. The @xprize Healthspan competition is mobilizing global talent. Governments from Saudi Arabia to the U.S. are funding aging research at unprecedented scale. The field has reached an inflection point. The field has reached an inflection point. The people building it are gathering in Cambridge on May 26 and 27 for the Aging Code Summit, part of the inaugural Boston Tech Week. I'm speaking on Day 2. A few of the conversations I'm most looking forward to: @manoliskellis (MIT) on the computational biology of aging Li-Huei Tsai (The @MIT_Picower Institute for Learning and Memory) on the latest in neurodegeneration Kristen Fortney @kpfortney (@bioagelabs) on translating aging biology into therapeutics Sharon Rosenzweig-Lipson (@lifebiosciences) on the science behind a leading longevity company @mahdi_moqri (@agingbiomarkers Consortium) on where aging clocks are headed Amy Proal, PhD @microbeminded2 (@polybioRF Research Foundation) on chronic infection in aging Saranya Wyles, M.D., Ph.D. @drwyles_derm (Mayo Clinic) on regenerative dermatology and skin longevity Jens Eckstein @AkikoaCom (Hevolution Foundation @hevolution_f) on capital meeting the science. My Day 2 talk focuses on evidence-based best practices in longevity medicine, the framework I've been developing across clinical practice, Harvard Medical School teaching, and advisory work with longevity organizations worldwide. The question I keep returning to: which interventions actually deliver outcomes, and how do we tell. Day 2 also features the pitch competition, where top seed and Series A companies compete for a one-year residency at The Engine, MIT's tough-tech platform and one of the most consequential launchpads in longevity right now. If you work where this field is being built, you should be in this room.

Woah. How is this legal?

@emollick Hmm… my experience has not matched that description.

I think that academia has not absorbed the fact that AI agents are now good enough to independently reconstruct complex papers without access to code or the papers themselves; just the methods & data. They aren’t perfect but the errors are often in the human paper, not the AI.

Lifestyle & personal choices? 👍 Actual operations & staffing matter as well. Both/and

@LorickFoxPA @StuartBlitz The answer is not based on urban/rural practice differences but the 10th amendment and federalism: powers over health & safety not explicitly given to the federal gov’t reside with states. Hence state medical boards, state dept of public health, state health dept, Medicaid, etc.

@LorickFoxPA @StuartBlitz I’m also not on board (pardon the pun) on different standards of care. Yes, of course there are different ground realities by setting. That, though, also is true between NYC boroughs & neighborhoods.
