Also, as others have tweeted, let's be clear about *who* conducted this study. The official name of the study is the The U.S. Public Health Service (USPHS) Syphilis Study at Tuskegee, not the Tuskegee Syphilis Study, and it should be referred to as such.

This is your reminder to apply for that job. Don’t self-eliminate. I talk to too many people who say they didn’t apply because they didn’t perfectly match all of the requirements. You won't get the interview if you don't apply.

If you’re one of the folks laid off from CityBlock feel free to reach out to @zamiang @sanvrajah or myself, we’re hiring at firsthand. We have immense admiration for the work CityBlock has done in Medicaid, similar values, and many firsthanders are CityBlock alums!

We are not only seeing high levels of COVID, but we are also seeing surges in several respiratory viruses all at once. Masks work against all airborne viruses. Why are we willfully ignoring valuable lessons of the last two years just to go "back to normal"?

Most people are looking for a "green light." They buy books, watch videos, take courses, and engage in endless learning....to find something that will make them feel assured enough to leap. Truth: You are the "green light." Just Go.

Any healthcare startup data scientists interested in a consulting project? Send a DM! This would be one of the fastest opportunities to build a claims based model and deploy it to production in healthcare.
