I hear from some academic faculty in medicine that they run trials, make important discoveries, but don’t get new opportunities and are not recognized compared to colleagues who are highly visible on social media who may have done less than them. My advice: Unlike the past where your publications were sufficient you should consider social media to be important for academic success in addition to your lectures and publications. Especially if your goal is to change clinical practice and maximize the impact of your findings. Your voice on here is important. You also learn from here. Of course, celebrity on social media is not what counts. What counts as always are your enduring contributions to research like finding new diagnostic tests, new mechanisms of action, new treatments. But your voice on platforms like X can affect how much your research contributes to patient care, by helping you disseminate the information, interpret your findings, and even make you sought after to lead new clinical trials etc. Use social media to your advantage; treat it like writing mini-editorials or reviews. Use it to increase your knowledge of what’s happening in other related fields, make new connections, and helping colleagues. Writing on here means you have to be clear and concise. That actually helps you formulate your own ideas. Helps you get better at writing and communication. Add your thoughts! If you are a leader seeing this tell your junior colleagues who are not on this platform to come join the discussion.

✳️ It was wonderful to meet with colleagues in San Diego and discuss the evolving landscape of colorectal cancer across all stages, including the latest updates and what the future holds, at the #BackTable Tumor Board last Saturday❗️It was truly stimulating discussion with several key points❗️ ✳️ It was also a pleasure to reconnect with longtime colleagues, meet new friends in the field, and spend time with the outstanding BackTable team. Looking forward to next year❗️ @jgong15 @_backtableONC @AlgazeMD @AGangiMD @AaronFrittsMD

What do: - Naval Ravikant (AngelList) - Brian Armstrong (Coinbase) - Sam Altman (OpenAI) Have in common? They've found their Zone of Genius. A thread on finding yours:

Born too late to explore the Earth. Born too early to explore the universe. Born just in time to stare into the void and build vertical B2B SaaS.

Are you a runner? Do you have a weekly mileage goal? Maybe you're preparing for a 10K, half or full marathon, or even an ultra? Awesome—I love it! 💪 💪 And... Here's an ATG-style routine you could add on rest days to strengthen common weak links, increase mobility, and keep running! Read on for Part 2 in a series demonstrating how ATG movements can enhance and balance out the exercise you are already doing: 🧵

Love what he said, and how he said it. I once tried to make a similar point, far less eloquently, to a white female executive whom I had hired on the basis of her merit and her perspective, which was completely different than mine. She almost quit! Next time using this instead

When I see this and wonder to myself, “how did we end up with a president who seemingly doesn’t understand capitalism?” I answer the question with “This message must be resonating with a large group of people who actually don’t understand capitalism.”

Waking up at 5:45 am solves 99.9% of daily issues. 12 other unreasonably simple habits to change your life: 1. Grab your to-do list. Do the thing you want to do least, first. 2. Stop all 60 min meetings, make them 45 minutes. Tighter meetings, more time. 3. No social media, email, or text when you wake up. Write something, read something, or create something before you get sucked in. 4. Do the $1,000/hr Test. Group work in 3 buckets based on return: $10, $100, $1,000. Offload one low ROI task per day. 5. Change one meeting a week to a walking call. Watch how excited the other meeting member becomes. 6. Add a How vs Won't check-in. When you say, "that WON'T work." Instead ask, "How could that work?" 7. Be the dumbest one in your friend group, then move on when you’re not. As they say, if you’re the smartest person in the room, you’re in the wrong room. 8. Take a picture of your net worth. What gets measured gets managed. Check finances daily. 9. Always the stairs, never the elevator. Pick the hard option. See how much stronger you are than you think. 10. Never write to-dos in stone. You're 10x more productive if you reprioritize daily. 11. Meditate. 10 minutes a day. For a twofer - do it in the sauna. Sometimes hacking culture gets it right. 12. Get intimidated. Everything you want is on the other side of fear. Do something every day that scares you a little bit. Life is the small things repeated daily. Change one daily habit, and beautiful things start to happen… So pick one.

Some interesting charts attached. What are the takeaways: 1) RoW is falling behind US companies. If you look at global indices like MSCI World Index - a good proxy for global growth, it shows the relative strength of the US vs the rest of the world. 2) As an implication of this, non US companies trade at a large and growing discount to their American peers. You’d much rather own an American business doing X vs an equivalent company abroad doing the same thing. This is a measure of trust and reliability of the US company, country and economy over their counterparts abroad. 3) A large percentage of American exceptionalism is concentrated in the top ten companies. This crowding can make for odd behavior in those stocks that can’t be easily explained entirely by earnings of those companies. This is because there may be few incremental buyers of scale left since everyone already owns them. And lots of folks will switch between companies after earnings (ie TSLA v GOOG v MSFT behavior of the past week is a good example). Conclusion: America is not only doing well on a standalone basis but faring much better than the rest of the world on a relative basis. This is the basis of most of my economic rationale - keep the relative picture in mind! Now, if we can keep our deficits down and stay out of participating and funding foreign wars, it will create an economic miracle for the US.
