So thrilled that Steve Joffe has officially been appointed Chair of Penn Department of Medical Ethics & Health Policy. He's done such an admirable job as interim for past 3 years (no small feat given world events) and will lead UPenn Medical Ethics & Health Policy to even greater heights in years to come.

I seriously can't wait to learn from this AMAZING group of scholars, including @AuriemmaKatie @DrDeidraCrews Lauren Ferrante Tyson Brown Romain Pirracchio Karen Joynt Maddox @briewsf.

Incredible panel at #aharesearchacademy on creating and maximizing diversity, including Fatima Rodriguez & Eldrin Lewis speaking about formative roles of U of Penn & Penn Medicine on their career development. #PennProud

My endorsement of this view goes WAY beyond the signature I was happy to provide. American Thoracic Society (ATS) needs to act on this quickly. Race correction of PFTs cannot be justified conceptually, and evidence is mounting, including more coming soon, of just how big a problem this is.

Success = when our funders are as thrilled about our research and impact as we are and share great appreciation for patient stories! Thank you The Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute for acknowledging the Healthy Lungs study PAIR Center and our fantastic participants. Post here: pcori.org/research-resul…

Opportunity: Are you interested in a new post doc role with full benefits for two years? Do you want to reduce cardiovascular disparities? Have you personally experienced racial injustice? If you answered "Yes" to ALL q's, please visit our job post: pair.upenn.edu/uploads/attach…

Undoubtedly one of the easiest decisions of the year for Penn's provost. So richly deserved - and I take a small amount of pride in teaching you "Do, or do not - there is no try" :)

So thrilled you're here, Vinny! And how will we ever achieve the goals you espouse of breaking barriers to gender equity in medicine if we can't at very least be flexible in timing our grand rounds series to accommodate family commitments?!?!

So grateful for The Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute support for this essential work. More about our trial here: pcori.org/research-resul… Also a GREAT example of catalytic effects of institutional research investment - none of this would be possible if not for Penn Medicine investment in PAIR Center years ago

Beautiful. Must-read for anyone concerned about lingering tolls of the pandemic and future of being a clinician (i.e., should be must-read for everyone). Even if Cameron were a worse doctor (he's not), he'd still be at the very top of the list I'd want caring for my loved ones.

Karma: first time on twitter in almost a year, and I find this. My heart is full. I've been telling mentees precisely this for >10 years, but always with caveat that reviewers may ding them wrongly. Thanks Miguel Hernán for wisdom to publish it, & Michael McWilliams for sharing.

Agree, nice editorial. But Eric Widera, MD, I know you can do better than simplistic (mis)characterizations of trials as either positive or negative... Kate Courtright

Really insightful & authoritative comments from Gary Weissman (Penn Medicine PAIR Center) about ChatGPT in health care in recent The Wall Street Journal interview. Also includes smart and measured perspectives from I. Glenn Cohen & James Zou. wsj.com/tech/ai/chatgp…

Important work from former Penn/PAIR Center post-doc Deepa Ramadurai, with excellent mentorship from Joanna Hart Meeta Prasad Kerlin

A true pleasure collaborating with this great team. Such wonderful insights to be gained when physicians and economists team up to explore questions about health-related decision making!

Absolutely incredible journey by absolutely amazing people.

Appreciate the offices of Congresswoman Madeleine Dean Chrissy Houlahan Congressman Dan Meuser for hosting discussions of our Healthy Lungs trial, and of course The Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute for sponsoring the trial and organizing these briefings. Results coming soon! PAIR Center Penn Medicine News

I'm deeply grateful for the support of so many at Penn Medicine over the 28 years (gulp!) since I matriculated at its medical school. Mentors, mentees, other faculty colleagues, and the incredible professional staff I'm privileged to work with each day have all made this possible

aamc.org/news/press-rel… This is 100% correct, yet still understates the impact. There are efficiencies to be gained at NIH, even ones that might trim academic funding over time. But doing it this severely at once will cause loss of >500,000 jobs in red and blue states alike.
