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.

The irony of "soft skills" is that they're often the hardest to master.
Leadership, communication, collaboration, creativity, and adaptability may not be technical, but they're increasingly vital.
Behavioral, social, and emotional skills are what make humans indispensable.

Mentors, your words have the power to help someone:
-envision what is possible
-find the confidence to go for it
-recover from failure or disappointment
Let’s never underestimate the power of our words and the tremendous responsibility that comes with that.

Don't underestimate the importance of having internal and personal standards that nobody else witnesses besides you

I would like to share the story of how a patient with cancer came up with the idea for a randomized trial, & how listening to him saved a lot of lives.
1/ In 2002, I had just completed a randomized trial with the notorious drug thalidomide for the cancer, multiple myeloma.
