Tips on using the Federal Register to look for #NIH #studysection notices: 1. The most effective way is to search by SRO 2. One notice can list several study sections 3. Do not trust the brief snippet that appears at the bottom - click to review the entire notice (see #2 above) #science
Great to see the 12th edition of @elsevierconnect.bsky.social Firestein & Kelley's Textbook of Rheumatology! It was wonderful to have contributed again to updated evidence-based guidance for management of knee osteoarthritis. #rheumatology #osteoarthritis #chronicpain
