Why might there be worse outcomes in after-hours surgery? • surgeon fatigue • resource availability • patient characteristics • types of surgeries scheduled • circadian rhythm disruption #AnSky #MedSky #SurgSky https://buff.ly/4aXXmE6

Study (N=462) finds even though girls and boys performed equally on a task, girls didn't believe they had done as well as boys. Boys overestimated their competence (relative to girls & reality) & negotiated for a larger reward than the girls. @kimelsesser.bsky.social www.forbes.com/sites/kimels...

Hey everyone! Incredible news! Trans Scouts selling GS cookies this year on my list have sold over 50,000 boxes of GS cookies! If you want girl scout cookies, consider buying from a trans girl scout this year! They'll mail them to you! This is literally my fav thing to do every year :)

4 years ago, I bet a skeptical buddy that Joe Biden would complete his term. This was subject to Biden dying, resigning, being impeached, etc. Joe came through and so did my buddy with this check! (And he did settle the bet with cash!) Thank you Mr. President for your service.

Fellow investigators: thoughts on open access journals that levy an article processing charge (APC)? My philosophy is that I will review for free if I can submit/publish for free. 🤔 #medsky #ansky #obgynsky

I’m a casual user of Tik Tok here in the United States. I acknowledge that it is the “empty calories” of how one can spend time. I think that politicians tried to make political hay of bashing/banning it and those chickens are absolutely coming home to roost tomorrow if it goes dark.

A very public and ugly falling out between Musk and Trump. (and Trump will emerge with the upper hand)

It’s wild what is happening on X right now. Conservative firebrand Laura Loomer has had her blue check revoked, allegedly for criticizing Musk for his advocacy of H1B programs. Apparently some animals “are more equal than others” in regards to free speech over there www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...

For me, this is an inflection point for dissemination of research on X vs here. I did identical threads on each platform w/ significantly more engagement here (albeit I don’t have a blue check on X). I’m not yet at a point of not posting on X, but my time is much better spent here #ansky #medsky

1/9 This is a really interesting observational study looking at VL and DL use. Comparison of success rates is flawed - the choice to use VL or DL was dependent on the complexity of the case - the populations aren't comparable But I think there are other lessons analogous to surgical technique #AnSky
