At @brown.edu, instead of majors we have concentrations. It might also be surprising that @brownbiostatistics.bsky.social is home to the university's #statistics concentration.
Program director Professor Alice Paul, explains the advantages of studying statistics in a school of public health. ⬇️
This storm has officially topped the Blizzard of ‘78. For everyone’s safety, and to help our emergency management teams perform their duties, please stay home.
Gavin Newsom just announced that California will be the first state to join the World Health Organization.
This is in direct defiance of Donald Trump, who just pulled the United States out of the organization.

I heard this morning that my informatics colleague Dr. Atul Butte passed after a battle with cancer. He was a giant in the field & inspired many of us over his distinguished career. He was a passionate champion of the power of big data & his impact on our field is immeasurable. RIP Atul & thanks.

So…about AI’s energy use…
“…to create a five-second video, a newer AI model uses ‘about 3.4 million joules, more than 700 times the energy required to generate a high-quality image’. That's the equivalent of running a microwave for over an hour.”

Honored to be a featured voice for #ASCO25
Will be sharing highlights from a patient/research advocacy perspective & likely focus in digital health interventions, supportive care advances, and diagnostics that lead to treatment optimization & risk mitigation
TY @ascocancer.bsky.social for the oppty
Thrilled to announce our Annual Meeting Featured Voices! Get ready for a wealth of expert perspectives and engaging discussions throughout the meeting. Don't miss out – follow along and contribute to the conversation using the official hashtag: #ASCO25

Today Altmetric is announcing a major development in collaboration with the Brain Occipital Lobe Learning Observation Centre Kalhausen-Strasbourg.
From today Altmetric will be able to determine what research paper you're thinking of, regardless of what you're actually writing/saying.

A trio of LLMs were concordant w/ tumor board recommendations and/or NCCN/ESMO guidelines 75-87% of the time for 112 early BC cases. But gaps included NOT recommending genomic tests in N1 HR+ a la RxPONDER. I find it odd that was missed. IMO: promising, not yet great ascopubs.org/doi/full/10....

There are concerns that Bluesky's impact has faded since the initial hype. This is false.
That impression results from reading headlines about social media instead of the hard data.
The five HIGHEST points of Bluesky posts mentioning research all occur in the last 2 weeks.

As we can expect PubMed dysfunction more and more or to be swamped with fake journals I suggest you get acquainted to this nice alternative: europepmc.org
This is going to be a big problem.
Not typically on pubmed (a free online database of medical literature) on Saturday nights but heard it was down and had to check for myself.
