2025/04/30

The most common question we get asked is: is there a course on how to become better at critically reading medical research. Well, now there is!This is the first of 9 videos that we recorded as part of a course on clinical appraisal, and there will be many more to come. We call our class: How Not to Get Fooled by the Medical Literature. These are topics that each of us teaches separately, but, here, for the first time, we teach them together, and the whole is more than the sum of the parts.The

Professor Jeffrey Flier is a distinguished service professor and Higginson Professor of Physiology and Medicine at Harvard Medical School. He is the former dean of Harvard Medical School. We talked about the recent (and sudden) change in NIH funding. First a note on Professor Flier. He is not a normal medical school dean. He is active online. He speaks candidly, often critically. He and Vinay wrote together in STAT news during the pandemic. It was a great honor to talk with him for 47 minutes about

Doctors often get credit (or blame) for having to make difficult, life-and-death decisions. But really, it is all of us, when we are patients, who make the bravest decisions that carry the highest stakes. This is a public episode.

2025/01/08

I have long followed the work of Dr. Margaret McCartney. She is a general practitioner in Glasgow, Scotland, writer, public speaker, and now PhD. She is a fierce advocate for evidence-based medicine. She holds highly skeptical views of screening for disease—which, to my surprise is quite common in the UK. Her recently finished PhD sought empirical evidence regarding declaration of conflicts of interest in the UK. Here is a link to the document. Screening for atrial fibrillation is a focus of this

I had the pleasure of being interviewed by Michael Easter. Michael is behind the TWO/PERCENT Substack where he offers “practical, accurate, and useful health, performance, and mindset information.” I’ve listened to, and read, a bunch of Michael’s content. Not only is it enjoyable but it seems, well, sensible. Our conversation was inspired by my Coming Out Against the Healthy Lifestyle post.
