Funding and keeping a research department alive in medicine is very complicated. Below are some suggestions from a approach as published in a recent article from the Advances in Health Sciences Education. It’s my own interpretation of the suggestions made in this readable and excellent publication by Randy R. Brutkiewicz. Use 1. Research faculty development seminars, or “brown bag lunches” around these topics: Features and use of the ‘‘guide for applying for research grants’’ for new Research Faculty (specific for each institution) Balancing grants and kids How to recruit personnel to your laboratory Mentoring graduate students and postdoctoral fellows Helping trainees get to...

Devising a simple algorithm, two MIT students came up with a method for analyzing a person’s network on the social networking website Facebook. They discovered that they could fairly reliably determine whether a man was gay or not by the friends he kept, regardless of whether he identified his sexual orientation on Facebook: Using data from the social network Facebook, they made a striking discovery: just by looking at a person’s online friends, they could predict whether the person was gay. They did this with a software program that looked at the gender and sexuality of a person’s friends and, using statistical analysis, made a prediction. The two students had...

Last week, a pair of prominent academic docs lashed out at a Massachusetts bill designed to ban gifts to doctors as a way to lower prescription drug costs. The editorial in The Boston Herald, however, at first failed to note their conflicts (since then, it was updated with one disclosure). Earlier this week, yet another editorial appeared in The Boston Globe in which one of the same academic docs - Dennis Ausiello, chief of medicine at Massachusetts General Hospital - and David Shaywitz, a former research fellow at MassGen and former Merck research scientist - complained that criticism of industry-funded academic research is often unfair ...
