As more radiologist work goes tele- and work-from-home, what does this mean for interpretation quality and downstream patient care?
A fascinating single-center study from South Korea just published in @AcadRadiol suggests that traditional onsite interpretations may be better: "Teleradiologists issued more follow-up examination recommendations than on-site radiologists for outpatient abdominopelvic CT examinations, with greater inter-radiologist variability." academicradiology.org/articl…

After six months and nearly 1,000 cases, the South Carolina measles outbreak is officially over.
How'd they do it? "Measles vaccinations were the most effective single containment tool."

The Hepatitis B vaccine was expected to prevent 9.5 million infections, 2.4 million chronic cases, and save 600,000 lives in the US by 2050.
The federal vaccine committee has blood on their hands.

I've been reporting in East Africa on the impact of President Trump's USAID cuts, and I find that not only are children dying in large numbers but the pace is accelerating as stockpiles run out and people grow weaker. I also obtained an internal Trump administration memo stating that the cost of shutting down USAID is $6.4 billion over two years. That sum could save more than 1 million children's lives; instead, it is being spent to to shut down programs that save lives. Help spread the word. nytimes.com/2025/09/20/opini…

Honored to share that our lab has received an @NIH @NIBIBgov Trailblazer award to study antibody-drug-conjugate labeled microbubbles - yet tough to celebrate fully knowing that many @UCLA federal grants have recently been suspended. Progress requires support!

Great to see a mentor and now friend @LetDdiceFlyHigh at @PennCME in Saybrook, CT. Presenting at CMEs are great ways to network with new colleagues outside of academics @YaleRadiology @PennRadiology. Also, 10 years since I first met @LetDdiceFlyHigh at #VUMCradiology

Yes.
Writing is not a second thing that happens after thinking. The act of writing is an act of thinking. Writing *is* thinking.
Students, academics, and anyone else who outsources their writing to LLMs will find their screens full of words and their minds emptied of thought.
