The idea of NRP as techs & the idea of NRP as clinicians are not mutually exclusive. There is a need for both. Stop viewing NRP a one size fits all, & instead view it as the baseline credential for a diverse field- some roles in which do require degrees, and some which don't.

Free methodology and stats textbook? How not to lie with statistics? Yes, please.
This open access textbook provides the background needed to correctly use, interpret and understand statistics and statistical data in diverse settings. ➡directory.doabooks.org/handl… #AcademicTwitter #PhD #Bioinformatics #neuroscience #phdchat #postdoc #Statistics #OpenAccess

We keep having the same old debates in EMS which completely miss the point. To fix ourselves, we need to understand what it means to build a vibrant profession. Thanks to @NAEMSEpgh @medicmindset & @ProdigyEMS for the platform to talk about this. medicmindset.com/2022/08/06/…

It is pretty common that people simply don't have a clue what the national EMS Instructional Guidelines actually cover.

We don't have a Paramedic shortage because of @CoAEMSP or @NREMT. We have a lack of desire on the part of Paramedics to work on ambulances, b/c it isn't typically an attractive environment. This is a leadership/workforce culture problem, not an accreditation or testing problem.

I gave an EMS continuing education presentation for the NH Fire Academy. I also recorded some of the slides for the benefit of the internet. Feel free to point and laugh. youtube.com/playlist?list=PL…

Hell of a thread here, boys.
1/🧵 This is the incredible story of an anesthesiologist who, in 1946, purposefully paralyzed himself using curare. Though conditions were controlled, by the end of the experiment he was wide awake and fully paralyzed, without any sedation. #histmed #medtwitter #tweetorial

Did you know that it’s actually possible for you to say, “I don’t know enough about this to have an opinion”

The answer: Lower pH relative to the cytoplasm! pH is the -log of hydrogen in a solution. The electron transport chain maintains a chemiosmotic gradient by pumping H ions into the intramembrane space increasing the concentration and decreasing the pH. #hunterbiochemistry
Many of the processes we've discussed in Biochem are concepts I was introduced to during my initial paramedic training. However, with the benefit of basic sciences (like chemistry and biology) I now understand better how it all fits together. #hunterbiochemistry

2/2 Linkage to Course: Glucose is an essential molecule for human life. It is not an essential component of diet because it can be synthesized from several pathways. It would seem the mechanism of IF forces β-oxidation of fat and gluconeogenesis from amino acids.

Does anyone have a clever mnemonic or acrostic to remember the steps of glycolysis? #sciencetwitter #hunterbiochemistry

I've had so many #lightbulbmoment s in #hunterbiochemistry so far. Specifically that introns are not the useless bits of code I once thought. They could serve an important role in regulating the rate of transcription and translation.

The story of how the mRNA vaccine was made for SARS-CoV-2 is a triumph of modern science and genomics. To see this now tried-and-true technology applied to diseases that have evaded vaccines for so long is amazing. The lipid nanoparticle is a game-changer. #hunterbiochemistry
