The Orange Cat Brain Atlas is here. 🧠🐈
Today, we published the first comprehensive cellular map of the orange cat brain. The new atlas reveals a single, specialized neuron responsible for behaviors like staring at walls, knocking objects off tables, and the 3am "zoomies."

This lobby wasn’t just built to impress—it was built to welcome. For 90 years, LA General has served every Angeleno, regardless of their ability to pay. Great architecture. Greater mission. ❤️

1/ After residency at Mass General Hospital, I reported to Atlanta to meet my fellow CDC Epidemic Intelligence Service Officers.
I have never felt so intimidated by my peers
The best and the brightest, they were star clinicians, had served in disaster zones; MD/PhDs and MSF.

Our new paper explores how pass/fail grading has created a "shadow economy of effort," as medical students engage in extracurricular activities to compete for residency positions, often at the expense of clinical skill and well-being. @Midwest_MedPeds

What harm can be done by a scientist or public health official agreeing to debate an anti-vaccination huckster? It's not just a thought execise. The damage has been done before. Let's look at Minnesota's "Vaccination Debate" of 1902. 1/

1/During case conference (& on rounds), we often see master clinicians come up w/ brilliant diagnoses before the HPI is even finished.
But how did they get there?
And how can you teach yourself & others those skills?
This week: how to teach diagnostic reasoning more explicitly

Incentives for #Covid19 vaccine have been used globally, but their impact is unclear. As countries plan new incentives, our new Lancet commission commentary can help these programs have the best chance at increasing uptake.

I had a patient last year that was so proud of their “Grady Baby” tattoo. I’ve never seen a hospital that means to people as much as Grady means to Atlanta. @gradydoctor

This is a pretty damning thread, and echoes our experience with MMWR editorial process. We took out and put back in the same line in a graph 4 times as various within-CDC reviewers disagreed.
Many are torn between frustration and sympathy for @CDCgov. Given all the things CDC are failing to get done (eg rapid data dissemination and analysis), I am shocked by what they DO they spend time on. 🧵sharing observations from my interactions with CDC staff. 1/14

Only in the United States could the government run a public health campaign centered on fears of large, unexpected medical bills.
Hospital stays can be expensive, but COVID-19 vaccines are free. Help protect yourself from being hospitalized with #COVID19 by getting vaccinated.
