🚨 Health care is the new battlefront for anti-DEI attacks by myself @DrJessIsomMDMPH @RupiLegha "Now is not the time for healthcare institutions & professional organizations to retreat, but instead, to be ready & prepared to rebuff anti-DEI attacks." dx.plos.org/10.1371/journa…

Huge day at #SCOTUS as the high court hears arguments on Idaho v US. The future of emergency care in America hangs in the balance. Radical judges and rogue legislators should never dictate the care that I and my fellow emergency physicians can provide. huffpost.com/entry/opinion-…

Very important to note here that qPCR positives are not the same as "virus particles." It's much easier to detect viral RNA by qPCR than it is to detect infectious virus or intact virus particles (as the article correctly notes). This finding does have some big implications:

Embargo just lifted! A new study with over 700,000 patients shows, once again, that patients have better outcomes when cared for by female physicians. The benefit, as shown in some previous studies, is greatest for female patients. acpjournals.org/doi/10.7326/M2…

The decline in American life expectancy is an issue that extends beyond health—it affects our economy too. #HealthyNYC serves as a model for other cities/states, demonstrating the importance of a holistic approach to tackle the root causes of this crisis: latimes.com/opinion/story/…

“Public initiatives such as antipoverty cash-transfer programs should therefore not be viewed as charity for the poor but should be regarded, codified,and funded as essential public health and safety infrastructure” Critical @NEJM piece by @_Eric_Reinhart nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…

@CarlosdelRio7 @Craig_A_Spencer @latimes @celinegounder that also ultimately serves to help prevent epidemic disasters, etc. I'd love to see us shift toward this bottom-up narrative framing of public health. We should in fact see it working every day via social caregiving rather than imagining it as invisible bureaucrats at the CDC.

The decline in American life expectancy is an economic crisis, too by me & @Craig_A_Spencer in the @latimes. latimes.com/opinion/story/… "A 1-year increase in life expectancy could boost economic output by 4%."

To build back stronger, public health’s past must inform its future. In this @latimes essay @celinegounder and I present the moral and economic imperatives for investing in public health. We explore where the field came from. And where it must go. ⤵️ latimes.com/opinion/story/…

Today @Brown_SPH hosted a great discussion between our own @AshishKJha46 and dedicated humanitarian @mvanrooyen_md. Really thoughtful discussion on the humanitarian crisis and public health needs in Gaza, why the catastrophe in Sudan remains overlooked, and much more.
