Earlier today, @STS_News asked about researchers studying the history of #standardization.
That reminded me that I haven't had a chance to share some of the highlights from @LindaHall_org's latest exhibition: The #Standards That Built America!

That reminded me that I haven't had a chance to share some of the highlights from @LindaHall_org's latest exhibition: The #Standards That Built America!
Time for a š§µ! (1/8) #histSTM #STS
Curated by reference assistant David Crawford, this exhibition showcases a few of the 100,000+ industrial #standards in LHL's stacks.
Many of these standards were once part of the Engineering Societies Library & are hard to find anywhere else! (2/8)

LHL's #standards are often overlooked compared to our #RareBooks & #Journals, but they tell an important #engineering story. Groups like @ansidotorg, @IEEESA & @isostandards have helped promote interoperability, safety & accessibility in a variety of technological contexts. (3/8)
The John Jordan āBuckā OāNeil Memorial Bridge carries HWY 169 over the Missouri River and serves as a key connection between Kansas City and communities north of the river.
Today, we traveled to #KCMO to highlight our stateās investments in infrastructure including this bridge.
Today, we traveled to #KCMO to highlight our stateās investments in infrastructure including this bridge.
While safe, the Buck OāNeil Bridge, which opened in 1956, is nearing the end of its lifespan. @MoDOT & @KansasCity worked together to procure the funds for this transportation project.
The overall budget for the Buck OāNeil Bridge is $257,879,900, including $134,929,000 million from @MoDOT, $123,950,000 million from @KansasCity and a $25 million federal BUILD grant.
Today we passed two ordinances that come, at least in part, because of media attention on frustrations small business owners experienced in permitting with KCMO. Short snippet about those in the next couple of tweets. Moral of the story is that earned media is effective tool.
First, Ordinance 220535 created a new @KCMOHealthDept permit option to allow ānon-mobile food vendorsā to obtain a single annual permit to sell food at multiple events throughout the year. @TheFastPitch covered frustration of small biz owners two weeks ago

Second, Ordinance 220516 modernizes the antiquated liquor license density limit that Bliss Books and Wine owner LaāNesha Frazier faced when trying to obtain a liquor license at her 4th District book store. @KSHB41 reported on this in April. kshb.com/news/local-newā¦
Iāve updated my #Missouri #COVID19 website for Tuesday, 7/20 - slu-opengis.github.io/covid_daily_viā¦. A few highlights are below š.
Weāve now plowed past 2,000 new cases per day on average in the last week, a place we were last at this past winter. 68% of new cases are outstate. 1/19

Recall that comparisons across time are hard because of various testing shifts. What is striking, though, is we have achieved significant transmission without either of our two largest cities being major contributors. This has been a rural and smaller metro outbreak so far. 2/19
Rates around both Joplin and Springfield continue to hold at very high rates, with some counties (especially around Springfield) showing small upticks yesterday. There are also at least three counties around Springfield at all-time highs (with caveats again about comparisons). 3/
Iāve updated my #Missouri #COVID19 website for Saturday, 6/19 - slu-opengis.github.io/covid_daily_viā¦. A few highlights are below š.
Our statewide 7-day average is now the highest in the United States, and "outstate" is making up 69% of those new cases each day on average.

In Northern MO, things are slowly improving in the recently hard-hit trio of Putnam, Linn, and Livingston counties. Linn's 7-day average, however, remains in the top 10 nationwide for counties with more than 10,000 residents. 2/9
I'm concerned about cases shifting from these counties outward, though. Neighboring counties, like Grundy, Macon, and Mercer are worth watching. To the west near St. Jo, Worth County's rate has stopped growing, but there are four other counties showing newly upward trends. 3/9
Iāve updated my #Missouri #COVID19 website for Tuesday, 6/15 - slu-opengis.github.io/covid_daily_viā¦. Quite a few highlights are below š.
The growth you can see in the statewide 7-day average, placing us tied for no. 3 nationally, is almost entirely from āoutstateā MO. 1/17

The two regions I am most concerned remain the same: Northern Missouri and Southwest Missouri. That said, the number of counties in those areas that I'm watching has grown considerably over the past week. 2/17
In Northern MO, Putnam and Livingston counties are seeing their rates fall, but Linn County remains no. 2 nationally (for jurisdictions with more than 10,000 people) because of its rate of new cases. Mercer is a new county to watch as well. 3/17
Iāve updated my #Missouri #COVID19 website for Tuesday, 3/23 - slu-opengis.github.io/covid_daily_viā¦. A few highlights, and *new* hospitalization plots, are below š.
We saw continued declines in #KCMO and āoutstateā but did see a slight bump in new cases in the #StLouis metro area. 1/15

Weāre now two weeks out from the addition of antigen cases and have seen no real overall change in our current 7-day averages āļø. This is great news from a tracking perspective, and means our sense of the virus over the past few weeks was not distorted. 2/15
I mentioned a small number of counties that I was concerned about last week. Montgomery County, in Mid MO, has seen its rate of new cases decline just as precipitously as it climbed last week. 3/15
This is my #Missouri #COVID19 evening update š§µ for Saturday, 1/30. My website has been fully updated - slu-opengis.github.io/covid_daily_viā¦.
An increase in cases around #KCMO was not enough to offset declines elsewhere, and so the statewide 7-day average fell a bit more yesterday. 1/4

Tonightās @StLouisCovid memorial is for Peggy Grosberg Ross. She was a philanthropist who supported BJC, including a scholarship at the Goldfarb School of Nursing named for the burn nurse who saved her life. Ms. Ross passed away in January at age 90. 2/4 stlouiscovidmemorial.com/peggy-grosbergā¦
If you missed it last night, my latest River City Data features an excellent interview with @TheCivilLife's Jake Hafner. I hope you take the time to digest his take on business, brewing, and priorities during the pandemic. 3/4 chrisprener.substack.com/p/weekly-covidā¦
Good morning folks. There's a Health Commission meeting today from 10:00-11:30am. Peep the agenda below. Lots of things to discuss including state & federal legislative priorities. A UNI set-aside proposal. Vaping. CHIP updates & more. Come check us out if able! #kcmo #healthykc
Happy Monday, good folks. After enjoying the weekend, I am back to share with the Timeline the happenings of the last Health Commission meeting that occurred on Friday, Oct. 9. Follow along and as always feel free to ask any questions.
The Commission went into closed session to vote on Health Levy Innovation Funding recommendations. I had to leave/recuse myself from this discussion since I work for one of the applicants. @KCMOHealthDept can provide more info on the outcome of those decisions.
šØSo excited to share the news with you!šØ
Q2 of 2020 is in the books, and we saw such incredible support from all around. Thank you to everyone who donated, volunteered, shared our message, and joined #Team16 to show our District and MO that we are ready to #Flip16 blue!

In SE MO, Butler County added 24 new cases yesterday - easily the largest single day bump there - and is averaging over 5 new cases per day right now. Perry and Cape Girardeau have both continued to add new cases, too. 3/15
After reflecting on the #protests in #kcmo and #topeka, hereās a couple of tips for my fellow whites on the doās and donāts of protesting police brutality and supporting the #BlackLivesMatter movement
1. Always listen to the Black organizers. You do not know the struggle or the strategy to win better than them.
2. Have supportive signs of allyship, not co-opting the Black struggle. Good: Black lives matter! Bad: I canāt breathe.

I donāt want to bury the lede, though - as of āreopeningā day, we:
ā do not have reliable, public hospitalization or symptom data,
ā have not increased testing volume in weeks, and
ā have significant increases in cases in multiple regions around the state.

The stateās highest rates are in Saline County āļøāļø, where an outbreak several meatpacking plants has led to nearly 200 cases. An earlier meatpacking outbreak in Moniteau County seems to have subsided based on the data we have at hand. 3/22
Thread with facts about this move.
ERS & NIFA donāt need to be āclose to producersā as farmers are not their stakeholders. Their stakeholders are Congress, USDA policy officials, & researchers, all of which reside in DC & who use their research to create policy for the benefit of farmers.

As Laura Dodson, a USDA researcher has said, āWe do a national level of research. Suggesting we could be better researchers seeing a single cornfield in one state is wrong. We are in service of national agriculture, we service all, not just one region or a specific few.ā

1/ Itās been a week.
Itās well into Friday evening & I just got off the phone with a patient who had urgent radiology results. This was after spending > 40 min on the phone w another patient discussing the same this afternoon.
(18 more to come; stick with me.)

(And I ādonāt workā on Fridays.)

3/ As I hung up the phone, I reflected on how #directprimarycare has enabled me to get to the heart of medicine & the doctor-patient relationship.
During that call, my patientās spouse broke down and ā through sobs ā simply said: āThanks for being so kind.ā
