Objective: As clinician educator tracks continue to gain popularity in graduate medical education, this report aims to fill a gap in the literature by providing a 14-year update on professional outcomes of participants in a psychiatry residency academic administrator, clinician educator (AACE) track and to compare these outcomes to non-track participants.
Methods: An anonymous web-based survey querying professional achievements was distributed to all graduates of a psychiatry residency training program from 2009 to 2022. Outcomes of AACE track participants and non-track participants were compared.
The collector urchin, Tripneustes gratilla, is an ecologically important member of the grazing community of Hawai'i's coral reefs. Beyond its ability to maintain balance between native seaweeds and corals, T. gratilla has also been used as a food source and a biocontrol agent against alien invasive algae species.

How water moves through a beaver dam is determined by its flow state (e.

In the inherited red blood cell disorder β-thalassemia, mutations in the β-globin gene (HBB) lead to a reduction in the corresponding protein and the accumulation of cytotoxic free α-globin, which causes maturation arrest and apoptosis of erythroid precursors and reductions in the lifespan of circulating red blood cells. We showed previously that excess α-globin is eliminated by Unc-51-like autophagy activating kinase 1 (ULK1)-dependent autophagy and that stimulating this pathway by systemic mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) inhibition alleviates β-thalassemia pathologies.
