Yet another reason to subscribe to STAT+: The incredible work of my colleague @JonathanWosen who has been in a series of very smart stories tracing the important changes (and exodus of scientists) from academic life science and what it might mean. See🧵.
A STAT Special Report: . There is genuine concern about the long-term health of academia and ultimately the pace of scientific progress as the number of scientists leaving academia for biotech labs grows.

The FDA responded that they are planning another meeting with experts and the publication of a discussion paper to solicit more feedback. Meanwhile, many of those involved in studying the devices and working on new ones remain frustrated that no concrete action has been taken.

The FDA is taking so long to fix the pulse oximeter problem, half of the nation's state attorney generals have gotten involved. My latest with @iwashyna and @KadijaFerryman via @statnews.

Glad to see some justice on this finally. This has gone on for far too long. Orthopedic surgery needs to do better as a field if this type of behavior is tolerated.

Escribí este artículo sobre la "paradoja hispana" y lo que podemos aprender de las razones los hispanos en EE. UU. tienen vidas más largas que otros grupos. Espero que disfruten esta historia.

I can’t wait for this conversation. Still time to register virtually for STAT Summit if you’d like to be there too.
It will truly be an honor to share a stage with Pulitzer Prize winning expert journalist @ushamcfarling, at the 2023 National @statnews Summit. Usha is consistently sparking an awareness to deeply entrenched fights for healthcare equity nationally.
