I'd like to think this is, in part, because Hopkins Medicine has been one of the foremost institutions in the world at pursuing science-based and evidence-based medicine.
This is Steven Salzberg's blog on genomics, pseudoscience, medical breakthroughs, higher education, and other topics, including skepticism about unscientific medical practices. Here's where I can say what I really think about abuses and distortions of science, wherever I see them.
Hopkins is #1 hospital in the U.S.
My institution had a bit of good news this week. The latest U.S. News rankings of the nation's top hospitals just appeared, and Hopkins has regained the number 1 spot, which it temporarily lost last year. We've been number 1 for 22 of the past 23 years. See the story here.

My memory of my post-doc days there with Ham Smith are that it was a terrible neighbourhood to live in, but a great place to be sick.
ReplyDeleteI had no idea you had worked with Ham. Small world after all.
DeleteRosie, I didn't know you worked with Ham Smith either. I worked with him in the early and mid 1990s, and he was the one who originally introduced me to The Institute for Genomic Research (TIGR), which he and I both joined full-time in 1997.
