She's not kidding - here's a screenshot of notes I took in a class in 2016, in all likelihood followed by a text to Adrianna. Super cool work which could unlock a whole new era of pediatric acute care research.

@allanmjoseph.bsky.social has been telling me there needs to be a "Dartmouth Atlas, but for pediatrics" for maybe a literal decade? And now there is! (h/t to coauthor @johngraves.bsky.social)

Some of my newest work - amidst everything going on, we're still trying to deliver excellent care to really sick children. But the system is under a lot of strain:

RFK Jr talking about the need for doctors to know how to treat measles for those who are unvaccinated. “Only very sick kids should die from measles.” No. They shouldn’t. That was the point of the vaccine. We eradicated the virus so children didn’t die. Sick & disabled kids are not expendable!

I study patient administrative burden. Here is a thread of studies/articles I share often and/or have been suggesting for the newly interested. My first foray, with Austin Frakt. TL;DR ~1/4 people reported delayed/foregone care due to admin in past 12 mos. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

Giving a talk next month on the effective use of images/visualizations to communicate data. Target audience is clinical fellows. Looking for examples of your favorite scientific figures/graphs/images! Please share and amplify! #PICUSky

Just popping back up to highlight our new work developing pediatric-specific hospital referral regions. It was a heavy lift but I'm proud of the work we've done bringing researchers a new tool to understand pediatric acute care: www.jpeds.com/article/S002...

@rakesofmallow.bsky.social We probably need to start saying "this is mission control...we got 'im" after every sack. Thanks Sam! (~2:45) www.youtube.com/watch?v=V3TM...
