COVID Update: I’ve had dozens of people ask me with Delta here, what is the COVID end game. Because I don’t know, I interviewed 6 experts on various elements— variants, vaccines, global, policy, ev biology & historical precedence. Will break it down here. 1/

.Pierre Kory, MD MPA First off, I’m sorry that you got COVID and I’m glad you recovered. I respect that you have the integrity to admit that ivermectin wasn’t able to prevent your illness. 1/

Typically I prefer my blood inside my body, but in this case I'll make an exception (despite almost passing out 3/4 the way through). #DoubleRedDonation KU Pulmonary/ Critical Care Fellowship

Happy #Thanksgiving! I hope everyone had a great holiday. We had a relaxing evening with good friends and great food! I have to brag a bit, I think my first attempt at smoked #turkey turned out pretty darned good!

Board certified pulmonologist! So excited to get these results, and so thankful to everyone (especially my wife, my family, and too many mentors/teachers and co-trainees to name) who has supported me through all my training thus far. Just one more test next year... KU Pulmonary/ Critical Care Fellowship

With the #snowpocalypse coming tomorrow - if you're in the KC area and need a ride to/from work or get stuck somewhere this weekend, shoot me a message and I'd be happy to help out! I've got a couple 4x4's ready to roll in the snow ☃️

The vast majority of my Twitter feed is #COVID, which is obviously the most prescient topic in my profession. That said, are any of my medical friends as worried about #Ukraine as I am?

There will come a day when your worth is determined by the amount of outdated technology you keep. And when that day arrives, I will be ready.

Here's a 1-minute video showing--in the words of visualization hero Edward Tufte--the "compared to what" factor for today's amazing NASA Webb Telescope image. Thanks to the AAS WorldWide Telescope for making this possible, and A David Weigel. I only wish NASA and President Donald J. Trump had shown the image this way!
