“I was neither angry nor scared. It simply was. It was a fact about the world, like the distance from the sun to the Earth.” Revisit an excerpt from Paul Kalanithi’s posthumously published memoir, “When Breath Becomes Air.” nyer.cm/Q4zcILB

Congress is on the verge of gutting cancer & Alzheimer’s R&D w/ a few careless lines in reconciliation bill b/c seemingly everyone is tired of trying to do the right thing & thinks no one will notice. You’ll never want to contribute to a campaign after this reading this. 1/20

Payors have embraced the Age of Misdirection—meaning cleverly deflecting the blame for high healthcare costs, while enjoying record profits. Shocking? Not really. Read what health plan executive turned whistleblower, @wendellpotter, has to say about it. bit.ly/2U9P4WL

Is there no one in power in Dem Party w/ spine to say “you know, we can fix a few things about drugs, like making sure they all go generic w/o delay, but let’s not pretend like drug spending is THE problem. OOP costs are. Let’s reform insurance & preserve innovation.”?

Bill Gates interviewed for @TheEconomist on covid. Well worth watching. You get a sense of a person who spends his time learning, absorbing tremendous knowledge, seeing the big picture, and trying to do something to make it better. youtube.com/watch?v=m7StkvQ7…

Fauci is my hero. “‘I do believe that one gets unique insights into disease when you actually physically interact with patients,’ he says. In the case of Ebola, Fauci says he also wanted to show his staff that he wouldn't ask them to do anything he wouldn't do himself”🙏💪
Since right-wing trolls are attacking Fauci, seems like a good time to recirculate this article by @kakape from 2015 on why Fauci, at age 74, was personally treating patients with Ebola at @NIH sciencemag.org/news/2015/03/…

ORIOLE out in @JAMAOnc: bit.ly/33OAKmR. Metastases directed #SBRT improves PFS over observation. Great work by Phuoc Tran & team. IMHO confirmation needed on larger trial, active comparator (ADT at least) & more robust endpoint. But a great step in right direction.

“There are three things we should do everyday: we should laugh; we should think; and we should have our emotions moved to tears.” —Jimmy Valvano facing #cancer and teaching us how to live
We never can have enough reminders of how precious life is. On this date, 27 years ago, at the first @ESPYS, Jim Valvano gives his famous speech. He passes away 55 days later.

Neil Peart's love of literature and reverence for history deeply informed his songwriting. Read @anniezaleski's remembrance of the Rush drummer and lyricist: trib.al/vv7iGRv

Great discussion on Type 1 error in #noninferiority trials via @venkmurthy Important consideration for #cancer NI trials #radonc #pcsm I’ve heard @DrHowardSandler mention these issues before @DrewMoghanaki @jmmrad @DrSpratticus @DrAndrewLoblaw @alison_tree x.com/venkmurthy/status/1177…

Consider a non-inferiority trial. Truth: there is a difference BUT the NI margin is met in the trial. Is this a type I or type II error? @f2harrell @djc795 @MaartenvSmeden @ADAlthousePhD @statsepi @kareem_carr @EpiEllie
