When I was at the Arb today, the little free library on #HuronRiver had Carrie Pilby in it, and I enjoyed the couple of chapters I read, so I rented the movie tonight. Cute NYC coming-of-age dramedy about gifted 19 yo Harvard graduate who hasn’t figured out real life (and boys) yet. Worth a watch

So are India, China, Pakistan, the Philippines and Nigeria “third world” in Charlie’s tiny brain? Because those are the 5 countries US imports the most doctors and nurses from 🙄 Are Charlie and Matt gonna provide the “essential service” of heart surgery instead? m.economictimes.com/nri/work/ind...

This is a very compelling read and worth your time, even if you don’t care in slightest about menswear

There are 6 tenured, 3 non-tenured members of SACUA, and 2 of 3 non-tenured (research track + lecturer) jobs are high risk of layoff due to federal grant cuts (I’m #3, ok so far cuz they still need someone to see patients, though cutting down my clinical salary more than I wanted to) Trump admin:

Going to the #AnnArbor #NicholsArboretum #PeonyGarden on a random off peak Monday (technically peak ended June 8)- lots of #peonies, very few people, happy misanthrope me 😊 (I didn’t see any noticeable damage from the vandalism, maybe fewer blooms on sides than in center)

For Wolverines into #SpellingBee, there have been at least two winners who are Wolverines, Nupur Lala (1999) who graduated from Michigan in 2007 (now a neurologist at Dartmouth), and Sukanya Roy (2011), who is doing her PhD right now at the Ross School of Business (international relations at Brown)

Circling back, did this down-home #Texas kid ever get an invite to the White House? Or the Texas governor’s mansion for that matter?

Have been on hold for >30 minutes to get my biologic set up for the month, so yeah, the healthcare staffing cuts forced by NIH cuts are going great. (and this is even before #Medicaid is raided)

In the 1960s, the hypertension values for initiating treatment was systolic BP ≥ 160 mmHg or diastolic BP ≥ 95 mmHg, and a systolic pressure of 100 + age was considered an age-adjusted normal value. Today, this would be considered a formula for death and negligence.

if people had voted for the nice Black lady, the gays would be dancing with the First Gentleman on the white house lawn today while President Harris worked to get Medicare to cover home Healthcare aides for our aging parents. but this is fun, too, i guess.

what is a safe career now? Scientific research used to be until January, now that's gone. Computer science has some of highest unemployment in the country, being pushed out by AI. Medicine you'd think, but Medicaid cuts will lead to hospital closures, no jobs. Inevitable 25% unemployment by '26

“government doesn’t fund university labs to help universities’ bottom line [but] to meet national priorities,” “this will have a chilling effect on future generations, people will say that science is not a safe career- it’s too dependent on political whims” www.chicagotribune.com/2025/06/07/w...

Usha, akka, what are you doing here - your husband is now BFFs with the man who loathes anyone who isn't as pale as he is and wants you and your entire family deported (at best)? 🤦‍♀️

Interesting sending this late on a Sunday night, but our Interim University of Michigan President is: "terminating all contracts with external vendors to provide plainclothes security on campus." (presumably the cameras will stay) Thankful for the change in leadership is all I can say.

This is…a take. Props to Daniel Radcliffe: “Harry Potter’ would not have happened without her, so nothing in my life would have probably happened the way it is without [her] But that doesn’t mean that you owe things you truly believe to someone else your entire life.” apple.news/A_adAAGxET2y...

it's absolutely important to couch every statement from this guy in the context that he hired a person based solely on the credential that the guy strangled one of my neighbors to death. no background in software or finance, just murder.

Every time Michigan is in the news for something bad, Ohio State gets the attention for something worse. First SB 1, now this. Congrats Buckeyes, must suck to suck. (And the Michigan state Spartans happily rise over both its main rivals)

Well on the bright side, I am due to recertify both my #InternalMedicine and #Geriatrics boards the next 2 years, no bigger incentive to study MKSAP every day than living under Great Depression 2.0 martial law Hunger Games peacekeepers I guess 🤦🏻‍♀️

I got a lot of grief in high school for choosing TTUN for college, where I took whole classes on the origins of Nazism and the legendary Ralph Williams teaching us the works of Primo Levi. Zero regrets. The Buckeye legacy started and ended with my bro, no way we’ll let my nieces study in #Ohio

Terry Moran is 65 yo and is not dependent on ABC for health insurance anymore. He'll probably be fired for telling the truth, but I commend him for using his older adult privilege to make a statement
