This is so cool! The NIH just came out with 2,000+ science and medical art visuals for free. This is a great resource for diagrams, student projects, learning aids, and more. Check it out: bioart.niaid.nih.gov

Just won my first-ever funding grant! Pilot, yes, mini, yes, but my heart is racing, and my jaw is still dropping. What a feeling, I like that! Nice way to kick off my new job in Dec. 😁🤑

My brilliant med student asked me to explain correlation, causation, confounding &collider bias. I used the following ex… so sharing here in case anyone finds it helpful! PS -I have learned much from David Nunan CEBM Catalogue of Bias - a great resource for EBM. hopefully he approves😅
