#MedEd is showing it’s true colors yet again, with the abrupt transition in leadership in which the program director, Dr. Dennar was forcibly resigned from her position as PD without justifiable cause but ironically after she filed a lawsuit 👇🏾

I’m frankly tired. But again I speak up. This is completely unacceptable. #DNRTulane

Dr. Dennar faced misogynoir on top of interpersonal and systemic violence. I’m disgusted at the levels to this #DNRTulane
As someone who interviewed at this program, I was drawn by Tulane’s service to minority populations in a place hit by one of the worst natural disasters this country has seen. I was personally moved by my interview day. #DNRTulane
But this news is antithetical to everything I stand for and what I previously believed Tulane to stand for. Yet another Black woman has been forced out of a leadership position due to discriminatory practices. Legal intervention was required. #DNRTulane
I am a Black woman. I belong in academia and can lead my own residency program. This system has made it clear that deterrence is all but guaranteed. Enough is enough. #DNRTulane

Tulane has been dropped from my rank list. I simply will not go anywhere I’m not wanted.
Their Med-Peds intern cohort has been dropped from 6 to 4, Tulane cites a necessary part of a ‘smooth leadership transition’ #DNRTulane

Brief thread to debunk the repeated claims we hear about transmission not happening 'within school walls', infection in school children being 'a reflection of infection from the community', and 'primary school children less likely to get infected and contribute to transmission'.

I've heard a lot of scientists claim these three - including most recently the chief advisor to the CDC, where the claim that most transmission doesn't happen within the walls of schools. There is strong evidence to rebut this claim. Let's look at


Let's look at the trends of infection in different age groups in England first- as reported by the ONS. Being a random survey of infection in the community, this doesn't suffer from the biases of symptom-based testing, particularly important in children who are often asymptomatic

A few things to note:
1. The infection rates among primary & secondary school children closely follow school openings, closures & levels of attendance. E.g. We see a dip in infections following Oct half-term, followed by a rise after school reopening.


We see steep drops in both primary & secondary school groups after end of term (18th December), but these drops plateau out in primary school children, where attendance has been >20% after re-opening in January (by contrast with 2ndary schools where this is ~5%).
