This year's #NationalDoctorsDay means more than ever. I'm proud to be a doctor and thankful for all my colleagues who worked the front lines of #COVID19 over the past year. We signed up for this, but it's been inspiring to witness my colleagues go above & beyond the call of duty
We’re quickly learning how sophisticated analyses of real-world data can provide rapid insights into #COVID19. @FDAOncology is working to understand #COVID19 in cancer patients using real world data through a research collaboration agreement. x.com/Syapse/status/12931865…
Today, we announced the expansion of an existing multi-year Research Collaboration Agreement with @US_FDA to include the impact of #COVID-19 on patients with cancer. Thank you @DrAbernethyFDA & @FDAOncology for creating these collaboration opportunities.

My hospital is now requiring eye protection for all patient encounters in the ER.
I don’t 100% know the science on this.
But here’s what I do know.
I’m *not* going to moan about it.
I’m going to do it!
Cuz I’m a grownup and if there’s a chance it helps, I’m all in.
Today #telemedicine doctors are using their best judgement when it comes to giving a proper diagnosis- without physically taking the #vitals of #patients. What if your doc could conduct a #physicalexam in a virtual world?
MedWand puts the 'medicine' in telemedicine.
Wow. The Dr. Fauci of Germany (the virologist Christian Drosten) has a podcast called 'Das Coronavirus' where he discusses complex topics around Covid-19 and millions of people tune in. It's the #1 podcast.
Locals are telling me this helped a lot with the response.
A few weeks ago, I made a post about the importance of mask wearing, and I had to put my account on lockdown overnight because of the number of people attacking me.
This graph is amazing. It shows that measuring #SARSCoV2 levels in municipal sewage almost perfectly predicts forthcoming #COVID19 cases with a full week's notice (R=0.994). It's one of several discoveries in this new study from @Yale: medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/…. C-19 is #InThePoop
Breaking data: Today we released a new study of 53K Americans revealing that use of proton pump inhibitors (eg. Prilosec, Prevacid, Nexium) is associated w/ a 2-4x risk of #COVID19. In this thread I explain why we did this study, what we found, what it may mean, & key limitations
Wishing you a happy & healthy #FourthofJuly! Please wear a mask if you’re out in public. I used to wear one all the time. It saved my life. But with Covid-19 you’ll also protect the lives of others. What better way to celebrate the holiday than by protecting your fellow Americans
In another move to harness real-word data in response to #COVID19, we’re proud to announce @US_FDA is participating in the COVID-19 Diagnostics Evidence Accelerator, a multi-stakeholder project to advance development of diagnostics.

After 19 years, I’ve left Stanford. The accumulated gender discrimination and harassment had taken their toll. I shared my story with @kate_selig and @StanfordDaily because I think it is important and hope it will empower others to speak up.

Systemic racism, inequality, and institutionalized violence are healthcare issues—and more importantly, matters of humanity. Silence and inaction in the face of injustice is simply not an option. It’s past time to get to work.
Thx Lisa- its all thanks to an amazing team including Toby and Lauren of BiMotal, Phil of Container Solutions, Beth and Brendan and hundreds of vounteers from Creekside church UCSF Medstudents Sonia Targ and Alice Tang.
