We need new antibiotics to counter resistance. Now @MITdeptofBE's James Collins,@BarzilayRegina @ItsJonStokes @MIT_CSAIL @WyssInstitue, @broadinstitute & team have trained a
#deeplearning #AI model to help the path of discovery

@MITdeptofBE @BarzilayRegina @ItsJonStokes @MIT_CSAIL @broadinstitute @CellCellPress @AIHealthMIT @CellPressNews When there's any report about an #AI and drug discovery effort, my "go to" is @Dereklowe for perspective.
When he says "So overall, this is an impressive paper," it has gravitas:

@MITdeptofBE @BarzilayRegina @ItsJonStokes @MIT_CSAIL @broadinstitute @CellCellPress @AIHealthMIT @CellPressNews @Dereklowe "The study is remarkable, says Jacob Durrant @LabDurrant ... The team didn’t just identify candidates, but also validated promising molecules in animal tests."
nature.com/articles/d4158… @NatureNews by @JoMarchant May be the best #AI-drug story yet, especially for unmet need.

Cases are appearing in greater numbers in countries outside China and a number aren't linked to travelers. For example, dramatic
increase in cases in Rep of Korea today – 433 cases diagnosed, thousands more getting tested. apple.news/AENW3sEMBQeGAN… 2/x
Cases also in # of places in Iran, + new cluster in Italy, w/ other countries already
w cases unexplained by travel. Public health authorities call this “community
transmission”. So concerning because it means COVID spreading in ways that not
likely to be stopped 3/x
For most part countries still not testing widely for
community transmission, focusing predominantly on
returned travelers from China. So we do
not have clear sense where COVID is circulating. Can't say
w/ confidence that any given country has no community transmission. 4/x

The Wuhan coronavirus has reached Thailand, and it is now confirmed to be spreading between people. reuters.com/article/us-chi…
"With Chinese New Year approaching on Jan. 25, when many Chinese tourists visit Thailand, the WHO called on Thai authorities, the public and holidaymakers to be on alert." Eerie timing.
Now Japan too 👀

It’s time for another #histmed Tweetorial -- this time I'm going to talk about the pesky definition of a fever, and where the 98.6 F average body temp came from!

Full disclosure: will use C AND F for temp, but no K or R.
FYI this is a complementary Tweetorial to @tony_breu's amazing one on why we have night sweats
Let’s start with a case!

A 29 year-old woman presents with a week of cough, myalgias, and chills. Her temperature is 99.9 F (37.7C). She tells you, “This is a fever for me because I run low.”

@McLNeuro @DrAilshire @JMGrohNeuro @sbarolo @hormiga @risss_evans @KKTreseder @SarahEMyhre @batssiki @sbrietz Set up ways to continue dialogue with @NIHDirector & committee–ongoing conversation & input. Action plan before you leave. Also make clear any further delays are unacceptable. Action plans, strong regulations/policies must be instituted immediately. Petition is excellent example.
@McLNeuro @DrAilshire @JMGrohNeuro @sbarolo @hormiga @risss_evans @KKTreseder @SarahEMyhre @batssiki @sbrietz @NIHDirector 1- Many excellent thoughts/suggestions in thread. We thought a list of comments/support/urgency from many sectors may be useful. Concerning that @NIHDirector has not made clear, active efforts to stop #SexualHarassment by @NIH grant holders while @NSF & other orgs have.
@McLNeuro @DrAilshire @JMGrohNeuro @sbarolo @hormiga @risss_evans @KKTreseder @SarahEMyhre @batssiki @sbrietz @NIHDirector @NIH @NSF 2- Why isn’t #SexualHarassment a top #NIH priority. Why the resistance to actively creating strong policies against #SexualHarassment to protect #WomenInMedicine #WomenInScience #WomenInSTEM #WomeninEngineering, even when called out repeatedly by many. What’s the real issue here?

Unhealthy Inequality

#SDoH #HiAP #Interdependence
In 2014, medical outlays lowered the median income for the poorest decile of US individuals by 47.6% vs 2.7% for the wealthiest decile.

“First do no harm” must extend to the financial impact of delivering health care.

#SDoH #HiAP #Interdependence
"In spite of all the efforts in the US to control health spending over the past 25 years, the story remains the same.”
