“We’ve got to do the same for social media— it’s the equivalent of putting our kids in cars with no seat belts, with no air bags, and having them drive on roads with no speed limits and no traffic lights. And that is just morally unacceptable.” www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

Not for the first time this week I find myself asking what on earth is going through Keir Starmer’s mind? The best interpretation is that this crass decision was made without his knowledge and will soon be fixed.

Really good piece. Disputes about authorship, encouraged by a perverse promotion system that discourages collaboration, have done so much damage to academic endeavour. I’ve mentored lots of young people & seen how often they are exploited and bullied my egotistical seniors.

I had a productive call with Ursula von der Leyen this morning. We’re ready to build on our free trade relationship, bolster economic security, and work side-by-side on shared defence and security challenges. When Canada and the European Union build together, our futures are stronger.

This is what a rigged economy looks like: In the 1970s, CEOs made 27 times more than the average worker. In the 1980s, CEOs made 48 times more than the average worker. This decade, CEOs are making 354 times more than the average worker. That has got to change.

The Trump administration threatens the USA’s most prestigious medical journal. All journals publish good and bad articles. Sometimes they take a position informed by the evidence. But applying political pressure and compromising editorial independence is a red line. www.bmj.com/content/389/...

Five minutes can make a world of difference. After a difficult patient encounter, deep breaths, grounding techniques, or simply stepping away for a moment can help regain clarity and presence. How do you recharge? #Mindfulness #PhysicianBurnout #PatientCare #MedSky closler.org/lifelong-lea...

We crossed quite the tragic landmark on Measles cases in Ontario this week: 1000 cases in this outbreak. I thought my clinical experience 🌍 was unique & that I’d never have to see measles cases in Canada, where it was previously eliminated. Now this lethal childhood disease seems has a foothold.

Maybe we should honor the women who were real astronauts. From left to right are Shannon W. Lucid, Margaret Rhea Seddon, Kathryn D. Sullivan, Judith A. Resnik, Anna L. Fisher, and Sally K. Ride. NASA selected all six women as their first female astronaut candidates in January 1978.

Today's tree: appropriately for Good Friday, a Judas Tree (named for the disciple who allegedly hanged himself on one). This one is in the park opposite our synagogue. No antisemitic implications, apparently, as our rabbi also has one in his front garden. Happy Passover and Easter!

My name is Ben and I have autism. I’m not less than anyone else I just see the world differently. Lately I’ve been working on losing weight by walking. I walked 5 miles yesterday. It’s also helps with my confidence and I can enjoy the outdoors and the scenery.
