Why do we spend so much energy lighting major portions of cities at night? Given the concerns about strain on the energy grid, rising energy costs, not to mention the environmental impacts of light pollution and energy production, do we need to waste electricity on a mass scale?

On my drive in to work this morning in the darkness, every closed business (is it really that much advertising??), empty mall parking lot, sports stadium, office building, public administration building, research building etc is fully lit with lights on inside.

Seems like it would be both environmentally friendly and economically adventitious to just turn off all these lights...

Quick thoughts on this new proposal from @TheNRMP: Should we replace the SOAP with a two-round match system including Match Days in February *and* March? Who wins - and who loses - if we move to a two-round Match system? (a 🧵)
NRMP® Call for Public Comment Regarding Consideration of a Two-Phase Main Residency Match The Board is evaluating the feasibility of a proposed Two-Phase Main Residency Match, to replace the current Match® and SOAP® processes and requests your input. nrmp.org/about/news/2022/08/….

Replying to @CardioNerdsJC
My final thoughts: - VITAL AF does not mean that screening is not useful - more intense screening in higher risk population is probably helpful #CardsJC

Great graphic! I think a crux of AF screening is: the more intense the screening, the greater the likelihood of finding briefer paroxysms of subclinical AF --> now what? How much is really clinically relevant? #CardsJC
