Listening to FDA Commissioner Dr. Rob Califf & former NIH Director Dr. Francis Collins talk #HistoryOfMedicine. Trivia:
Collins grew up on a farm w/o indoor plumbing & was home schooled K-5th grade. He began leading Human Genome Project in ‘93 after James Watson was “fired for insubordination.”

Amazing to read this case series about 4 patients w/ #HIV/#AIDS from #OnThisDay 1981. These opportunistic infections were still common reasons for admission when I was in med school & @OslerResidency in late 90s/early 2000s. We’ve come SO far. #ScienceWillWin #MedSky #IDSky #HistoryOfMedicine 🤜🤛
On this day in 1981, a landmark paper in NEJM described four patients with evidence of immunodeficiency associated with PJP pneumonia, disseminated CMV, and Kaposi sarcoma. The disease would come to be known as HIV/AIDS. Revisit the paper: nej.md/41iekKD
