It is also very “nice” to be a strong advocate for better care than the often necessary risk experienced by our patients, due to outmoded “one-thing-at-a-time”, “one-size-fits-all (or should)” thinking and practices.

Joins reports that the degree of frailty moderates disease expression (as clinical dementia) in rel’n to neuropathology, biomarkers, and polygenic risk. So why exclude those living with frailty from “proof of concept” clinical trials? Unless you plan not to target them for sales.

It’s a special privilege to learn from your children, as I have done so often from James Rockwood and Michael Rockwood Of course given that their expertise is respectively in fintech and in biomedical and electrical engineering, showing me something new is not a heavy lift for them.

Frankly, it’s embarrassing. And how will we create the economy of tomorrow without substantial increases in funding the science of today. And that includes significant increases in numbers and amounts of scholarships and doubling TriCouncil funding Chrystia Freeland François-Philippe Champagne (FPC) 🇨🇦

“Scientists used to love Twitter. Thanks to Elon Musk, they’re giving up on it”

Scientists do seem to be leaving.

I’ve noticed a huge drop in engagement for scientific content. It’s maybe as low as 10% of what it once was.

An absolute joy of inpatient Infectious Diseases consults: the quiet later evening / weekend moments when you’re on your own and have time to chat with your patients about…life. In a sea of pressured ‘systems’, there are precious invaluable people moments.
