Stayed up reading A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihara. The first time in a very, very long time that a book has simultaneously enthralled me with the writing while I was gutted at the story. Equal in parts horrifying and beautiful. Ugly-Cried through at least 50%. 5⭐️ highly recommend. 😭

Vacation means chipping away at the ever growing, 2000+ “to-read” list on @thestorygraph.com First checked off was The Book of the Unnamed Midwife by @megelison.bsky.social Dark, haunting, and so very, very good.

Comply or don’t comply. Either way, patients are losing. The real question is if you maintain ethical principles when they’ve been labeled illegal.

American Medical Association is providing regular updates on bird flu and other infectious diseases on YouTube. I highly recommend subscribing to their page, especially since CDC has been axed by FOTUS #Voices4Victory m.youtube.com/user/AmerMed...

Practicing self care this weekend on the heels of all the things this week. Homemade focaccia, painting, knitting, & family time. Looking forward to playing in the snow tomorrow. Monday is when I’m back fighting injustice.

Know your worth and add tax. I don’t know who to attribute this quote to, but it’s worth repeating.

Dobby is disgruntled at cold weather, vet appointments, and attacks on democracy and human decency. But she’s totes adorbs in her snowsuit!

Glad for some of my favorite people (looking at you @drlindseyfitz.bsky.social ) who create starter packs for folks to follow. Looking forward to creating a genetics/public health/bioethics one in the upcoming days if someone doesn’t beat me to it 🙂

The take of @nature.com: "What Trump’s flurry of executive orders means for science [with] decrees designed to shift the US government’s stance on climate and public health." www.nature.com/articles/d41... #scipol 🧪 🌊 ⚒️

Another exciting kids’ book coming out this fall from the incomparable @drlindseyfitz.bsky.social and @tealcartoons.bsky.social ! Cannot wait—but in the meantime, catch up with their first children’s book and Lindsey’s 2 others!

If anyone’s looking for alternatives to GoodReads, I highly recommend StoryGraph. It’s owned by a black woman, and the platform is so much more accessible and easy to use.

Headed to #ASHG24 today. Can’t wait to immerse myself in everything genetics, precision medicine, and ELSI for the rest of the week. Oh yeah, and catch up with all my science framily!
