New Nature paper provides evidence that science has become less innovative since the 1950s. The authors suggest reversing the trend by: 1. reading widely, 2. focusing less on quantity of papers, & more on research quality, 3. taking year-long sabbaticals. nature.com/articles/s4158…

New paper with Maria Byron, Katie Grouse, & Julia Adler-Milstein in @JAMA_Current out today looking at clinician uptake and patient messaging demand at UCSF following implementation of billing some messages as "e-visits"!

Congratulations Alison Galbraith re: your new position! When I was at UCSF IHPS, many faculty & staff still talked about your work there. Bravo! UCSF Benioff SF UCSF Pediatrics Claire Brindis R. Adams Dudley

Focusing narrowly on achievements in one area in your life puts you under excessive pressure. You are more than your performance! Think of three of your core values and write down how you embody them. This exercise protects people from performance stress! qz.com/this-simple-mi…

I know Dhruv Kazi makes it look easy now. But I remember, early in his career, several rejections received or barriers faced that seemed unreasonable. He's living proof #PerseverancePaysOff

Timely & robust research, by former mnhealth colleague, C. Frenier, no longer on twttr, and Adrianna McIntyre (@adrianna.bsky.social) effectively deploying #MN's #APCD. Points to importance of the work #Medicaid agencies are doing to retain elig enrollees these next few months ... and raises efficiency ??

Holy moly - huge news just dropped nytimes.com/2023/04/26/hea…

Colchicine, a common gout drug, is centuries old After doing a 1-week trial (n = 185), a drug manufacturer gets 3 years of US market exclusivity After FDA removes all competitors, price goes up 16x. Much of health policy is about tough tradeoffs. This is a counterexample.

Limiting access to CMS data is not just an academic concern. It will affect anyone enrolled in Medicare/Medicaid as well as the taxpayers who fund these programs. Read more in my STAT piece below and please retweet to spread the word. We have work to do!

The proposed limits in data access **and** price increases for CMS data would be devastating for health services research.
