1/ Scientific Discovery: time & patience
Be patient in science. 25 yrs ago, I & others felt we were harming ICU patients by deep sedation & immobility. Our goal: PROVE IT & change culture in #criticalcare.
How did we start?

2/ Scientific Discovery: takes time
There weren’t tools 😤Reluctantly, I had to go “backwards” to validate CAM-ICU & RASS (@JAMA_current X3). A DECADE later we produced studies lightening sedation (MENDS/ABC trials JAMA/@TheLancet). Be patient!

3/ Scientific Discovery: patience
Give yourself space to be creative! Science takes time & Data must lead you. All our 1st grants & papers were rejected for 5 YEARS. NIH said: #Delirium in ICU is not a viable topic or a “thing.” Go away. Persistence paid off for patient safety.

4/fin Scientific Discovery: expect the unexpected
In #COVID19 #pandemic, 20 yrs of our work was uprooted overnight re #A2Fbundle. Now we build on proven data & design studies like @LancetRespirMed COVID-D. 1 step at a time. Discovery is a process!

Students & Early Career #Academic #Scientists,
Pro Tip: 💥
These truths are consistent in discovery whether it’s #criticalcare @iwashyna or #cardiology @EricTopol etc. Don’t be afraid to take 2 steps back to move forward better prepared! Be patient w yourself.
