Very excited to announce that I am looking for #PhD students to work with @ umich CSE. If you're interested in #causality + #machinelearning and would like to spend your PhD years NOT losing half your income on rent, I strongly encourage you to apply to our PhD program
The Lancet Clean Air - Safe Work, Safe School, and Safe Travel
The Task Force proposes the following Non-infectious Air Delivery Rates (NADR) for Reducing Exposure to Airborne Respiratory Infectious Diseases, which are feasible and achievable right now with existing and widely available approaches and technologies.

If you want, you can move your Mastodon account from one instance (server) to another.
Moving lets you take your followers, follows and some settings with you.
1. Create a new account on the instance you want to move to, but DO NOT delete the old account.
2. Log into your NEW account, go to Edit Profile > Moving From A Different Account, click on "create an account alias" and follow the instructions.
3. Log into your OLD account, go to Edit Profile > Move To A Different Account, click on "configure it here" and follow the instructions.
4. On your OLD account, go to Preferences > Import And Export > Data Export and download the settings and follows lists.
5. On your NEW account, go to Preferences > Import And Export > Import and upload the lists you just downloaded in the previous step.
After doing all these, your old account will redirect to the new one, and your followers will transfer automatically (with a short delay).
The notice of motion to #BringBackMasks was sent to @OCDSB@twitter.com trustees today. Meeting to discuss early next week and date to implement TBD. Heartbreaking that while we debate children are at risk. Also sad that it is left up to us to act. This is about health and safety. #WeNotMe
Good grief. To those who say masks “caused” the current crisis, peddling silly ideas about “immunity debt,” epidemiology colleagues remind us that Texas, Oklahoma, Florida, Sweden have RSV surges, too, after no masking. Children are waiting for us to act. #BringBackMasks #WeNotMe
It’s becoming clear to me how much I depended on Twitter to make me aware of changes in the medical literature, and how hopelessly disrupted that is
I really don’t want to go back to eToC
For example, I missed Semler / Vanderbilt’s oxygen target trial
I'm writing a short article on getting started with Mastodon for Computers in Libraries and have found @nikodemus guide invaluable. You might too. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1D9gfeKg_-hlsU66R-dLEvUeyMsqEfyIx2pnfUeX0t_E/edit?usp=sharing
The #NephJC chat tonight on #EMPAKIDNEY will still occur on the bird site as most of #Nephrology peeps are still over there
We are hosting a Spaces conversation at 10 pm Eastern if someone’s interested in talking #TwitterMigration
Do your urban streets have enough street trees? Only if your design choices prioritize them! Touring #Vancouver projects with a client who’s the chief planner for another city, he marvelled at the amount of trees & landscaping everywhere in our downtown — this Yaletown street has 4 rows of #trees on just one side of the street! Yard trees, double row of sidewalk street trees, then bike-lane buffer trees. Lot of #density there, so don’t tell me you have to choose between density OR green! #cities
Saying "we can't mask anymore, because at some point we have to get back to normal" is racist. Asian countries have been masking for years. What is normal is taking collective action in order to protect others, especially those most vulnerable. #BringBackMasks

Don’t let politicians tell you there isn’t public support to #BringBackMasks. There is. What we lack is a government willing to lead, to truly take care of infants and children (and seniors, people with disabilities, essential workers, educators, healthcare workers). #WeNotMe
@jordy_bc @cmclase @LaurieTomlinson since I am on a roll 😎
What about flozins?
Yes you can see euglycemic DKA in a small number, but
- EMPULSE shows benefit starting with acute decompensated HF https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-021-01659-1
- DARE showed no harm starting DAPA in peeps hospitalized with COVID
It’s not stop flozins for all when sick - we need nuanced guidance🤔
@cmclase @LaurieTomlinson @jordy_bc @hswapnil This is the way. The question is not how early benefit accrues from SGLT2i (or RASi) but when it is safe to start. I’ m a critical care #flozinator😅
@LaurieTomlinson @jordy_bc @cmclase @mike_johansen
Just like AKI and RASi, I agree euglycemic DKA is a real thing
But stopping all meds on admission (or if sick) seems too broad a stroke?
@yaneerbaryam
In fact, the same thing is happening in the southern hem. where we are in spring.
This graph is the last 10 years of resp. viruses infection rate, and we've never had a spike this time of the year. It's not seasonal.
