I bet few people there know it, but YC wouldn't exist without UIUC. My father went there from England on a Fullbright, and came back determined to move to America.
Y Combinator partner and UIUC alum @koomen is visiting UIUC later this month! If you're a student who has been thinking about starting a startup, or are in the very earliest stages of building one, we hope to meet you there. Learn more at events.ycombinator.com/YC-UI…

My first paper of residency is posted! A true team effort to make this important information about HSV IgG testing available. Tl;dr: Some automated HSV-2 serology platforms may be better than we thought, but we still need better high-throughput tests!

Work led by @patrickcmathias, in collaboration w/ @KhorSara, & supported by CMS-331-44-501 showed a multilevel intervention resulted in ~20,000 fewer lab tests over 2 years w/o negatively impacting LOS, readmission, or mortality among CT surgery patients pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3628…

I'm SO EXCITED to reveal a magazine feature I've been working on for months (and thinking about for years): theatlantic.com/magazine/arc… It's about the myths of progress in America, and about how we—in politics, policy, and the media—overrate invention and underrate implementation.

Rumour on the hill about #VALIDAct is they are trying to make exceptions for academic medical centers, only if no #FDA approved test exits. Once an FDA test becomes approved then we must switch to them. This is a terrible idea @rosadelauro and @ChrisMurphyCT. Here’s why: a 🧵 – at New Haven, CT
