.. and 3) physician-scientists need to be more efficient than everyone else to be both a great physician and a great scientist. Thanks @AlviraLab for organizing a wonderful symposium with amazing fellow/junior faculty speakers, it was a privilege to share my work!

Sage wisdom from @dsrivastava_md at @UCSFPediatrics @StanfordPeds Pediatrician-Scientist Symposium about achieving success as physician-scientists and he highlighted 1) vision/values drive your decisions 2) big decisions should be driven by your values…

Our NIH grant to discover coronavirus antiviral meds was terminated today.
With this grant, we had developed a better SARSCoV2 inhibitor than Paxlovid, and we recently discovered an improved drug that looks better than Pfizer's own second-generation inhibitor.

The NIH grant that supported 38 years of training the best pediatrician-scientists in the country (I’m a proud former recipient) was cancelled. It was just approved for a 5 year renewal. The @PSDP_AMSPDC is vital to our understanding of childhood diseases and making new therapies

@NIH has cancelled the 38-year running Pediatric Scientist Development Program @PSDP_AMSPDC essentially shutting down the pipeline of pediatrician-scientists who would transform child health in the future. This is devastating for the health of our nation's children. 1/2
