The @PanFabBoston team started its work about a year ago in response to #COVID19 related shortages of #PPE at @BrighamWomens. A primary goal at PanFab was to engineer solutions to the PPE crisis in real time using technology like #3Dprinting. 1/
Big thanks to Dr. Fauci and our panelists for an illuminating @harvardmed Grand Rounds this morning on the Public Health and Scientific Challenges of #COVID__19, who cautioned us about underestimating the potential of the #pandemic. Watch here:

Lack of trust undermines our ability to work together to fight against Covid. That's why we must base decisions on science and insist on complete transparency on data and process.
Our @PanFabBoston work featured in @harvardmed News & Research highlighting the power of interdisciplinary collaboration in developing innovative solutions to solve PPE shortages.

Very proud to be part of the team doing this work- so many factors to consider when deploying disinfecting products at your institution. Thanks @PanFabBoston

After starting as President and CEO of @BeebeHealthcare in March, David A. Tam, MD, FACHE, was promptly dealing with COVID-19 challenges. Explore what David has learned in his first 100 days through our new COVID-19 Stories section of the digital edition of Healthcare Executive.

First, "paper" surgical masks are really very very good.

The present harassment of health officials for proposing or taking steps to protect communities from #COVID19 must stop; instead, all efforts and attacks should be directed against the virus ja.ma/3a53XNx@MichelleM_Mello@jgreene2@drJoshS
