In the midst of all the grief + chaos of 2020, it's hard to remember there were good things

For me, an incredible group of young scholars doing highly relevant science was the #Bestof2020. Here are my favorite 2020 paper by each of several young scholars with whom I get to work

 To see where some of these folks were last year see this thread

let's start this #BestOfResp2020 with @UM_IHPI K-awardees

https://t.co/xygPoUATXJ
.@msjoding changed the way I look at pulse oximetry in @nejm, rethinking my bedside care

This paper has rightly gotten a lot of attention

https://t.co/mqiGLzq79g
But I think it is useful to look at it as an example of what makes Mike's work so interesting. A grant to build a dataset just to look at this project would, I think, have been un-fundable. Instead Mike had built an infrastructure to look at ARDS detection
When @msjoding came across Prof Amy Moran-Thomas's provocative @BostonReview essay (https://t.co/VB63h74o9U) he was able to pivot that data infrastructure to ask an important question...
because he had done a ton of bedside #COVID19 care, had a broad @ncspMICHIGAN education, + rigorous epi training in addition to his machine learning work. @UM_MiCHAMP's book group had primed him to thing about algorithmic bias. And he had MIMIC clean to rapidly replicate
Serendipity + the prepared mind -- in an environment instrumented (in terms of both technical infrastructure + colleagues) to be able to go answer questions that arise from bedside intuitions + broad reading + vigorous discussions, w enough financial + time flexibility to do that
.@tsvalley fielded a survey to every Michigan hospital in the midst of the first wave pandemic, to investigate how hospitals were helping--or not--families stay in touch with ICU patients. The results were horrifying when they came out in @ATSBlueEditor

https://t.co/XqyC8GVM9r
.@UMichNursing superstar Sue Anne Bell was helping to organize everything from #COVID19 field hospitals to #COVID19 nursing home care while serving on an @theNASEM panel on health effects of climate change

https://t.co/7tIqhoO3pv
I loved Sue Anne Bell's clever @PLOSONE paper that used public data on clinician's office locations to examine another threat of disasters to health -- disruptions of relationships with clinicians + diminished access to care

https://t.co/EL32uN92lP
I also work with a group of K12 scholars, supported by @nih_nhlbi training grant in implementation science in critical care

Again, great examples of @Jdos_WoT's hypothesis that universities are a reserve force whose value, in part, is their ability to meet unforeseen challenges
.@RyanPBarbaro showed @TheLancet that initial pessimism about role of #ECMO in #COVID19 was wrong: ECMO outcomes for #COVID19 were quite similar to those for other causes of respiratory failure--full ICU support saves COVID lives

https://t.co/5GCg69MPrL

https://t.co/YUeFuxV6PC
.@jpdonnepi showed @JAMA_current that #COVID19 does not always end at hospital discharge--readmission + post-discharge death are ongoing problems, comparable to other conditions for which readmission prevention is a major focus

https://t.co/M2ieJE1G9B

https://t.co/E3jWFcVdjw
.@JenniferNErvin published a definitive review of 20 Evidence-Based Practices in mechanical ventilation in ARDS in @accpchest, just in time to help counter somer of the CRAZY things that were being proposed on twitter

https://t.co/L2BGuWGALN

https://t.co/hnq8ZeqgrC
In this midst of #COVID19, @L_VigliantiMD submitted a superb #K23 to @nih_nhlbi and earned a "highly promising" score (comfortably inside the funding line, NOGA awaited), and provided #COVID19 surge care, and was still writing
.@L_VigliantiMD continued her pathbreaking work on #PersistentCriticalIllness -- rethinking why patients get stuck in the ICU in terms of cascading complications rather than simply non-resolving respiratory failure

This piece in @yourICM, for example

https://t.co/CKQ1OcMiCZ
#COVID19 emphasized the importance of @L_VigliantiMD's clinical + epi + HSR work, as I wrote in support of her back in May (which seems an eternity ago, doesn't it?)
And while I do not get to work closely enough with @abrnurse to get even any reflected glory--@AnneSales4 + @DeenaKCosta are her amazing mentors--I must bring to your attention in this thread her nationwide work rethinking burn center staffing

https://t.co/ODP1e1sDrj
All of that science was made possible by @nih_nhlbi's support for clinician scientist, plus the incredible environment of @UMIntMed + @UM_IHPI + @VA_CCMR + @MichiganPulmCC @UM_MICReW + @ncspMICHIGAN -- we benefit from multiple mutually supportive institutions
But that's not all! There are an amazing group of @ncspMICHIGAN Scholars (and those in the associated @UM_IHPI Master's Program) that I get to work with
Before she returned to yet more hand surgery training, @BilligJessica capped her @ncspmichigan series on potentially inappropriate #gabapentin use with a lovely paper looking at its role--and there should be almost none--in carpal tunnel syndrome

https://t.co/6kdhrtiaum
And @ncspMICHIGAN Scholar @ADeRooMD showed results that ought to fundamentally change the way we assess the risks + benefits of some surgeries

https://t.co/qpSlYYQI5B
and also
https://t.co/HzwwwDM2Iy
Nurse @ashleevance_phd is primarily mentored by @DeenaKCosta and continues her amazing line of work on the impact of medical complexity in neonatal ICUs and parenting -- for #PedsICU, taking the family rather than the organ as the unit of analysis/care

https://t.co/ARk1Gd1i6K
(@ashleevance_phd has a SUPER COOL project on the incoherent variation in children's hospital visitation policies under review that I can't wait for you to see, too)
.@DrHuerto, primarily mentored by @chang_tammy, continues to be an unflinching voice for racial equity in care, from @ConversationUS ( https://t.co/PD8FiowUbt ) to @Health_Affairs (https://t.co/GT6oBHg2U2)
Dr @v_valbuen of @ncspmichigan has written powerfully about our moral and professional obligations as clinicians in this hard, hard year

https://t.co/fVy9ycljiT

even as her emerging Stata skills have some great new data almost ready for submission
And @lcagino of @MichiganPulmCC capped her first 6 months of protected research time (after so many months of extra #COVID19 care) with an important new paper @AnnalsATS with @dulcetarpeggio and @JackieKercheval on benefits of tracheostomy in #COVID19

https://t.co/MhsiWhZvAr
That analysis by @lcagino, @JackieKercheval, @dulcetarpeggio certainly moved my thinking in 2 different directions--redoubling my commitment to re-implement A2F bundle w @dclaar22 even in #COVID19, but also supporting earlier trach given the very long arc of #COVID19 recovery
somehow I screwed up the threading on this... reconnecting here

November is here, and that means a massive shift is coming. And by "massive" I am of course referring to the redefinition of the kilogram unit of mass that the world has been building up to for more than 100 years. Let me explain:


1/ I've had an unhealthy fascination with metrology (the study of measurement) ever since my 2nd year as a physics major when I took a class devoted to duplicating historic physics experiments, so please indulge me for going into heavy detail (get it?) about the kilogram.

2/ So what actually *defines* a unit of measurement? If you're American, you probably know a mile is 5280 feet and a foot is 12 inches and an inch is 2.54 centimeters etc. But where does this chain of definitions end? Is it turtles all the way down?

3/ It's actually not! For all units (even the imperial units used in America) the answers all end with the Système International (SI) unit definitions established and maintained for over 100 years by the Bureau International des Poids et Mesures (BIMP) in France.

4/ At the base of this tower are the SI base units. Just 7 SI base units define every other unit in existence. They are:

Kilogram, kg (mass)
Meter, m (distance)
Second, s (time)
Kelvin, K (temp)
Ampere, A (electric current)
Candela, cd (luminous intensity)
Mole, mol (quantity)

With @franklowery our new study on attributes of T cells that contribute to successful cell therapy in cancer patients in @ScienceMagazine today w/ colleagues @slgoff_SB, @NCI_CCR_SB @theNCI a TL;DR thread on key findings with caveats :) 1/10

has a long history of using tumor infiltrating T cells (TILs) to treat cancers since well.. before I was even born. We analyzed our most successful melanoma ACT trial for cell surface phenotypes in TIL infusion products of patients (aPD1/immunotherapy naive) /2

Surprisingly we found a CD39- TIL subset (CD39-CD69-, DN) associated with ACT-response. TBH we were expecting the opposite (CD39+). We only included CD39 bcz multiple groups (e.g. Simoni et al, 2018) had reported CD39+ as enriching for anti-tumor/neoantigen reactive T cells. /3


CD39- DN TILs RNA/epigenetics resemble stem-like memory progenitors, and in vitro were able to self-renew, and give rise to other CD39+ subsets. OTOH the most dominant subset of patient infusion products were CD39+ CD69+ (DP) and these guys were terminally differentiated.. /4


So, to clarify we specifically analyzed tumor-specific mutation-reactive Tcells. Turns out, ACT-responders had pool of neoantigen-reactive TILs in the CD39- phenotype, while non-responders did not (despite other irrelevant CD39- Tcells) -> not all CD39- T cells are bystanders /5

JUST IN: The U.S. National Climate Assessment is now public.

This is the report that the Trump Administration doesn’t want you to see. Years in the making, released on the day after Thanksgiving. #ClimateFriday

Here are some of the main

This report is mandated by Congress and focused on the impacts of climate change in the U.S.

Basically: This is what our best scientists think will happen to us as a result of the actions our government is (not) taking to address the most important problem in human history.

300 experts in 13 federal agencies volunteered their time to make sure you have this information.

Please share it widely.

“Climate change is projected to significantly affect human health, the economy, and the environment in the United

The world is littered with hacks and quick fixes.

Magic routines, butter in our coffee, special supplements, exotic foods. All promising to transform our lives.

Nearly all of it is BS. Here are 12 science-backed "hacks" that actually work.

Read a Book.

An expert in their field has taken their vast knowledge and distilled it to what's most important. Writing forces you to make difficult decisions on what's important and what's not. Writing demands clarity. You're getting an expert's lifetime of work for $15.

Talk to people who know more.

The best way to "hack" knowledge? Have a conversation with those who are informed. They've done the hard part of figuring out of sorting through the mess of information AND making sense of it. Having a conversation brings clarity for application.

Show up, no matter what.

Day after day. Sit down to write. Get out to exercise. Whatever the task you're trying to master, just keep showing up.

If you show up enough, you'll get better.

Sleep.

Just getting your 8+ hours has enormous benefits from the psychological to physical. Sleep is when your body restores & grows with its highest output of growth hormones, & when your mind processes and coalesces information. Translating knowledge from superficial to deep

Ct values can be used to estimate epidemic dynamics UPDATE! Ct values are expected to change depending on whether the epidemic is growing or declining, and we harness this to estimate the epidemic trajectory. Lots of cool new analyses and methods!

Highlights:
- Cts from symptom-based surveillance change over time, but the effect is weaker
- Methods to infer incidence using single cross-sections of Cts
- Unbiased by changing testing coverage
- Gaussian process (wiggly line) model for incidence tracking using Ct values
2/12

This work is *JOINTLY led* with @LeekShaffer and PI’d by @michaelmina_lab. Thank you also to the ever insightful @mlipsitch and to coauthors @SanjatKanjilal @gabriel_stacey and @nialljlennon. 3/12

Premise: times since infection depend on the epidemic trajectory. Distributions of randomly sampled viral loads proxy times since infection. With calibration, Ct values can estimate growth rate. We focus on qPCR in SARS-CoV-2, but the principle applies to any outbreak. 4/12

Result 1: viral loads are shifted higher (Cts lower) during epidemic growth and lower (Cts higher) during decline when individuals are sampled *based on the onset of symptoms*. We simulated linelist data under symptom-based surveillance and looked at TSI and Cts over time. 5/12

RT-PCR corona (test) scam

Symptomatic people are tested for one and only one respiratory virus. This means that other acute respiratory infections are reclassified as


2/12

It is tested exquisitely with a hypersensitive non-specific RT-PCR test / Ct >35 (>30 is nonsense, >35 is madness), without considering Ct and clinical context. This means that more acute respiratory infections are reclassified as


3/12

The Drosten RT-PCR test is fabricated in a way that each country and laboratory perform it differently at too high Ct and that the high rate of false positives increases massively due to cross-reaction with other (corona) viruses in the "flu


4/12

Even asymptomatic, previously called healthy, people are tested (en masse) in this way, although there is no epidemiologically relevant asymptomatic transmission. This means that even healthy people are declared as COVID

Deaths within 28 days after a positive RT-PCR test from whatever cause are designated as deaths WITH COVID. This means that other causes of death are reclassified as

Joshua Hawley, Missouri's Junior Senator, is an autocrat in waiting.

His arrogance and ambition prohibit any allegiance to morality or character.

Thus far, his plan to seize the presidency has fallen into place.

An explanation in photographs.

🧵

Joshua grew up in the next town over from mine, in Lexington, Missouri. A a teenager he wrote a column for the local paper, where he perfected his political condescension.

2/


By the time he reached high-school, however, he attended an elite private high-school 60 miles away in Kansas City.

This is a piece of his history he works to erase as he builds up his counterfeit image as a rural farm boy from a small town who grew up farming.

3/


After graduating from Rockhurst High School, he attended Stanford University where he wrote for the Stanford Review--a libertarian publication founded by Peter Thiel..

4/

(Full Link: https://t.co/zixs1HazLk)


Hawley's writing during his early 20s reveals that he wished for the curriculum at Stanford and other "liberal institutions" to change and to incorporate more conservative moral values.

This led him to create the "Freedom Forum."

1/ The first 18 months of starting a company is often life or death. I must've made 5 different companies that each failed within 9 mo. 😭 Each time the company failed I figured out what I could do better. Eventually startup #6 got to $40K/mo by month 18. Here’s what I learned...

2/ Stay focused! Ignore things that are a waste of time: meetups & conferences, meetings with no clear agenda, fundraising if you're not fundraising, reading lots of tech media articles, etc. Every week should feel like significant progress in the first year.

3/ Your first 5 hires will be the difference between life or death. Choose carefully. Be picky. Many of the things we do at the company still are a result of those early hires' legacy. Have fun as a tight knit team. It will change & evolve as you get bigger so enjoy this moment.

4/ Growth may be flat for the first 9 months. It's gonna be okay. Almost every company has experienced this: Airbnb had to sell cereal in-between, Slack failed as a gaming company first, Tesla sold only 147 cars after 6 years! You probably won't be an overnight success either.

5/ In the beginning, do customer support yourself. You will learn a lot about why your product sucks. I did 5,000+ support tickets when it was the two of us. Delight customers & fix things fast while you learn. It will help you build an amazing intuition about your customers.

Velimalai Kumaraswamy Kshetram
Kumarakovil, #Kanyakumari
#Tamilnadutemples 🚩

Velimalai Kumaraswamy Temple is a Murugan temple located in Kanyakumari District of Tamilnadu.

Muruga faces east and is said to be facing Sthanumalayan (Paramashiva) of Suchindram. Muruga is of


eight feet vigraham and Valli thayar is six feet tall. Eventhough Thiruthani is believed to be the place where Subrahmanya married Valli, it is also believed that Valli’s thayar's marriage took place with Murugan here.

There is a Kalyana Vinayakar sannidhi
who helped Muruga's


marriage with Valli. Kumarakovil is also known as Kumara Kshetram and Subrahmanya Sthala. The Tamil epic Chilapathikaram refers to the temple as Chera Nattu Aeragam

Wedding of Valli and Murugan is celebrated here in the Tamil month of Panguni (March-April).

Om Muruga
