I was at this event with my family (including my baby daughter). Political leaders were at this event.
I'm not a lawyer, so I'm not going to get into the legal issues of this. For me, this is about ethics, safety, & the #politas government's responsibilities.

At a time when we have a @Tasmania_COI undertaking its work precisely because victim/survivors were abused, targeted & vilified by those in government institutions, it is incomprehensible that they have continued to prosecute action against a whistleblower in this manner 2/
My contribution to the #coi does not compare to the personal stories & sacrifice of others that gave evidence. I tried to do what I could. Attending this event seemed like a small gesture for so many that do not have a voice, but might have high hopes for a positive outcome 3/

解任理由にワクチンの問題は上げられていないが、O'keefe氏はPfizerの潜入取材による重大暴露スクープを発表して #ProjectVeritas の評価を大きく高めることに貢献したばかり
急に解任とは解せない

Hi everyone, as an annual meeting chair, I get asked a lot about how to get invited to speak at conferences. I learned a lot in the process, so here's a 🧵on tips for increasing your visibility at #academic conferences.
#academictwitter #medtwitter #meded #FOAMed @ASRA_Society
#academictwitter #medtwitter #meded #FOAMed @ASRA_Society
1/ Most important first step: be a member of that society and regularly attend and/or volunteer at the conferences. Make sure you vibe with them in addition to them vibing with you! It's the best way for folks to get to know what you're all about.
2/ Meet people, whether at conferences, on Twitter, or via collaborations. Let them see your expertise. Find a sponsor who has a connection to the society and share that you're interested in taking on more. If that sponsor is unsupportive or ghosts you, move on to the next one.
🚨Our new paper is out: #COI for members of the 🇺🇸 2020 Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee (DGAC)

📢 I am very happy to announce that the HER2DX genomic test for patients with early-stage HER2+ breast cancer is officially available at @RevealGenomics!

HER2DX is the consequence of >10 years of research in HER2+ breast cancer (by many researchers, not only me/us!)
In 2012, I was a postdoc at Charles M. Perou Lab (bit.ly/3Ku9nn0) @UNC_Lineberger

In the TCGA Nature 2012 study (go.nature.com/3Aqswlg)...we observed that gene expression identifies various subtypes of HER2+ breast cancer...
and tumors that are both HER2+ and genomically HER2-enriched (HER2-E) have the highest expression of HER2 protein + phospho-protein 🎆

This is what targeted racial harassment looks like: nitpicking things like “smiled” or “wore clothes like a celebrity, as a celebrity” or “bought cookware.” It is part of the “gold digger” narrative.
This is common in #healthcare “#professionalism” where there is hazing & bullying by racist &/or classist made up non-rules lacking standards…yet people are called “breaking the rules.”
It’s exactly how bullies operate: double standards, mislabel/smear, exclude, marginalize.

In the U.K., “BAME” includes the formerly colonized, thus making race constructs or power different from U.S. as latter had race-based chattel slavery.
Thing is, those formerly colonized have many who have internalized self hate & racism.

The idea that women are automatically “safe” is exactly what creates this “opportunity” for some women to exploit children & monetize their “optics” of “trustworthy” on behalf of predators.
Gender does not predict ethics, integrity, safety.

"Conversely, doctors who take money from one drug company anticipate getting money from other drug companies—and typically that’s the case. We’ve got doctors who’ve taken money from about 15 different companies in a single year."

Més #HistòriesOlímpiques. El baró de #Coubertin, el pare de l’#olimpisme modern, establí que els nous Jocs, com els antics en els seus inicis, només podien acollir esportistes “no professionals”, els quals havien d’exhibir una actitud “cavalleresca”, sense cobrar res.
Amb aquesta premissa, Coubertin volia impedir que els interessos econòmics pervertissin l’objectiu del moviment olímpic modern: promoure la pau social i l’entesa entre les nacions (Que ingenu!).
L’#amateurisme de Coubertin va ser molt criticat. No debades, en plena revolució industrial, que un obrer guanyàs un noble en una competició feia trontollar l’estructura social de l’època.

3/En même temps, on n'est pas vraiment surpris, étant donnée l'orientation #complotiste de ce blog en lien avec la crise sanitaire, qui est bien synchrone avec ce que nous percevons de l'évolution du discours émanant de l'IHU. Cette intervention dure près d'1/2 heure, aussi
Did this quick search while listening to @RIAdawson & @IrishResearch #ResearchforPolicy seminar.
We need to include discussions re industry influence (#COI & #CDoH) on policymaking if we truly want to put the #publicgood at the centre of all of this

What Skerrit is saying in regard to not bringing #tobacco under the prescription model is complete rubbish. The @TGAgovau site explicitly mentions novel #nicotine products - #SLT & #HTP.

In modern society, how does a woman with education and privilege seeking career success “lean in”?
She likely has someone else - often a low wage dark skinned woman - looking after her kids, cleaning bathrooms, cooking meals.

What I have come to realize at midcareer & reading history more deeply
privileged women’s advancement requires exploitation of the disadvantaged, especially low income women
It is partly why election results in 2016 *was* voting for own interest in fact

Lagi rame-rame soal Conflict of Interest (#CoI).... Gw numpang ngutas soal #konflikkepetingan terkait tindak pidana korupsi (edisi1) ya anak twitter baru...
Sebetulnya kalau gw bahas soal Conflict of Interest ga akan selesai dalam satu kali pembahasan.. Misalnya ketika bicara mengenai self dealing, business law mengijinkan dengan syarat tertentu... Untuk #konflikkepentingan ini mungkin belum menjawab semua..
Gw mau mulai dari prinsip dasar, kenapa sih lo ga boleh nyuap? lah duit makasih gpp kali! kenapa sih soal #konflikkepentingan diatur? apa salahnya sih manusia cari untung? selama dipenuhinya kualifikasi sesuai kebutuhan bukannya gpp ya pejabat ikut lelang?

The Problem:
In the mid-2000, the human rights conditions in #Eritrea have deteriorated drastically. Nearly all basic human rights are violated and the indefinite military service, torture, arbitrary detention has made it impossible for many Eritreans to remain in their country.

Yesterday, I started a discussion about how our focus on #USMLE Step 1 was hurting both undergraduate and graduate medical education.
It’s gotten a lot of attention, probably because I highlighted a comment from the CEO of the NBME that touched a nerve for a lot of you.

Beyond that quote, when I read the article, what struck me was this:
The CEOs of the NBME and FSMB expressed numerous concerns about adverse effects of making USMLE Step 1 pass/fail...
...but loss of revenue to the @NBMEnow was not mentioned.
