saddest thing I’ve drawn

In response to this thread about using #USMLE Step 1 scores for residency selection, many people have asked some variation of this question: “But without Step 1 scores, how will we possibly select residency applicants?” I have a few things to say about that. (1/x)

I’d like to talk about the finances - and potential financial conflict of interest - at the National Board of Medical Examiners. This is gonna be a long one - but thanks for hearing me out. (Thread)

A little bit about what I and other MSTPs do Albert Einstein College of Medicine - Official!

Somewhere out there, Ben Wyatt is absolutely freaking out.

Soon, 3rd year M.D. students will join hospital wards. This week they've learned clinical, professional, and practical aspects of their new surroundings via workshops, meetings and hands-on exercises led by Einstein and Montefiore Health System faculty and staff. #MedStudentTwitter #meded

ED doc: this kid swallowed 10 plastic horses Me: is he in *snorts* stable condition ED doc: grow up

New publication from the Berney Lab! We found that the aspartate family biosynthetic pathway is a viable space for drug development. In particular, loss of threonine feedback leads to uncontrolled lysine biosynthesis suggesting a unique mechanism of death. nature.com/articles/s4146…

An exciting update! We used the PROSPECT M. #tuberculosis chemical genetics platform to discover 2 distinct compounds💊 targeting 1 essential protein. They're synergistic, AND resistance to either one can cause hypersensitivity to the other! 👇1/5 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Yes. I’m not an expert. But I’m also not short on opinions. So here’s my advice on interviewing at pediatric residency programs. (thread)

Our lab member Tiago Beites published an article in nature communications regarding the "Plasticity of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis respiratory chain and its impact on tuberculosis drug development". Do give a read! nature.com/articles/s4146…

When I started reading this, I thought it was going to be another version of the classic “physician becomes patient” essay. It wasn’t. If you teach students or residents, please take a moment to read this... and maybe my thoughts below, too. (thread) jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/…

Now out in Infectious Diseases: finding chemically distinct compounds against a single target in Mycobacteria, leading to mutually exclusive resistance alleles and collateral sensitivity. Read free! #ACSEditorsChoice #RealTimeChem #AntibioticResistance dx.doi.org/10.1021/acsinf…

Follow up: After we wrote about how @NYPDShea and his troops have stolen public space around stationhouses, Steven Vago discovered NYPD 26th Precinct has done it INSIDE Carl Schurz Park, inconveniencing NYC Ferry commuters and raising the specter of racial bias: buff.ly/30Vrhe3

When I entered med. school (no docs in fam), I assumed: 1 Med education would primarily train me to be a doc 2 Cancer screening is an unalloyed good 3 When docs recommend Rx, they knew those Rx work 4 Hours/ schedule worked were based on optimizing education I was wrong x 4

Hey everyone, I'm Tonya, a 6th year MD/PhD candidate Albert Einstein College of Medicine - Official. My research is focused on determining how inflammation affects plasma cell survival and function. This work aims to show how inflammation depletes pre-existing antibody titers. #BlackinImmunoRollCall.

Excited to share this new review! We surveyed the current state of art for bioenergetic inhibitors in Mycobacterium tuberculosis and we discuss how current models of antibiotic-induced cell death fail to adequately describe their mechanism of action. frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

Our lab at The Francis Crick Institute is looking for a Laboratory Research Scientist interested in bacterial genetics, #TB, #AMR, chemical biology, and/or high throughput screening. Come work at a vibrant, collaborative research institute and help us #stopsuperbugs! crick.wd3.myworkdayjobs.com/External/job/L…
