A bold and important @NEJM piece by @ABIMcert CEO @RichardBaron17 and @yejnes, ABIM board chair, on the moral responsibility of medicine's institutions – in this case certifying boards – to deal with the spread of misinformation by physicians. nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NE…

News literacy is an essential life skill. Facts matter.
@NewsLitProject is an excellent resource to learn how to identify what info you can trust, share and act on.
✨ Do you know your logical fallacies?
See ⤵️ for 5️⃣ types of faulty reasoning that seem to make a point, but actually don't & render an argument questionable or invalid.
#NewsLiteracy
ALT Headline: arguments & evidence. Subhead: Logical fallacies. below: “Types of faulty reasoning that seem to make a point but don’t and render an argument questionable or invalid." Below that are 5 subheads: Ad Hominem A logical fallacy in which a criticism is directed at a person rather than at the point he or she is trying to make. False dilemma A logical fallacy in which an either/or proposition is set up when there are actually more options available. False equivalence A logical fallacy in which two things with an apparent similarity are compared, but in a way that ignores important differences for the purposes of making an argument. Slippery slope An argument that makes the claim that a relatively small first step will set off a chain reaction leading to disastrous, unavoidable results. Straw Man Used when someone appears to be refuting or knocking down an argument when they are refuting an argument that is easy to knock down, but doesn’t accurately represent the other side
Congratulations to the new @ARRO_org chair @AmishiBajajMD - our future is bright in your hands!! I am excited for all that is to come.
And a big thank you for the incredible work you have done @A_CT_SimMDJD

Excellent commentary on the use of progression-free survival as an endpoint, and the need to consider its limitations as a measure of meaningful impact for patients.

Ever wonder why corticosteroids like dexamethasone treat cerebral edema related to brain tumors?
I assumed the answer involved "anti-inflammatory effects", but there's much more going on.

🚨🚨🚨 New findings!
@peterbachmd, Niti Trivedi, and I turn a critical eye towards the Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA), the law that makes @US_FDA dependent on the drug industry for its operating budget.
