(1/3) It needs repeating: in 1994, Ukraine was persuaded to give up its nuclear weapons to Russia in return for the US, the UK, and Russia guaranteeing Ukraine’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.

Without commentary

If you live in Indiana the combination of SB2, which will arbitrarily cut 28% of medicaid recipients from its rolls and the newly passed federal House budget, which will require cuts to medicaid means many many many more people will now be uninsured this helps none of us #HoosierSky #MedSky

Courage and honor come in many forms.

I miss DEI

America: I present you with the new deputy director of the FBI, former NRATV superstar, Dan Bongino.

"We can imagine a day when awards for women will no longer be necessary; that day will come when women are represented fairly among prizewinners. For now, we must continue to offer opportunities for outstanding female researchers to get the credit they deserve." www.nature.com/articles/d41...

We need Pete Buttigieg as a clear messenger, more than ever.

This is about as disturbing as it gets. When Trump says he plans to be a dictator, there’s no reason not to believe him.

This is a terrible blow to the independence of US Attorneys.

How women fight back against bro culture: - combat microaggresions by asking "what do you mean?" - stand up for other women, even just by responding to toxic behavior w/ "huh" - share your salary info w/ other women - use buying power w/ inclusive companies www.fastcompany.com/91272686/how...

not sure Snoop Dogg fresh off performing at Trump’s inauguration is the best spokesperson for Stand Up To Hate tbh

Brilliant thread about science as a calling. For clinicians, research allows us to touch & improve the lives of exponentially more patients than just those in front of us, most of whom we will never meet. Contributing to a better healthier safer world for everyone.

When Elon was a kid, survival for ALL, the most common childhood cancer, was <10% Now it’s >90% due to funded collaboratives (high indirect costs) whose work ultimately SAVES THOUSANDS OF LIVES EVERY YEAR. For other cancers there’s still so much progress to be made. I think it’s worth it.

If you’ve ever considered it or think an IUD might be right for you, now would be a great time to make an appointment and have one placed.

Analysis of 137 articles finds 87% reported a positive impact of female leadership in healthcare on financial performance, innovation, ethics/sustainability, health outcomes, org culture & women's careers. Globally women are 70% of workforce; 25% of leaders. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

With my shopping options now confined to mostly Costco I’m going to save so much money. That’s liberal, I support DEI girl math for you. Target, I’ll miss you most of all.

Hey #HoosierSky The NIH provides a TON of funding to Indiana Universities and companies Every $1 spent on NIH funding provides $2.46 of downstream benefit in the form of new discoveries, etc Pausing it even for a short time will have major detriments to science and scientists

In the FAIR framework, all people: - Fairness: are setup for success & protected from discrimination - Access: can fully participate in a product or service - Inclusion: feel respected & valued - Representation: feel their needs are advocated for hbr.org/2025/01/what...

Yup

Day Four of the Trump Administration: Say you'll consider release of the Kennedy Assassination files to distract from everything else you're doing (including your loss in court on promised revocation of birthright citizenship). Ignore the bright shiny objects y'all and focus on what matters.

No words.

The website for the Office of Gun Violence Prevention apparently no longer exists despite guns being the NUMBER ONE CAUSE OF DEATH IN CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS This is truly the bad place

Being a person with deadly, incurable cancer who is nonetheless still alive for an indefinite timeframe gives me an interesting metaphor that helps me deal with things like large-scale corruption in government or commerce. Bear with me for a second while I try to explain.

They really are.

I don’t ever want to hear a republican say again they back the blue or believe in the rule of law again. It’s lies… all lies

So reproductiverights.gov no longer exists and we are out of the WHO

Today I honor Martin Luther King’s eloquence, wisdom and bravery. I see you Dr. King — your fire will never diminish. Your light will never ever be put out.

Most demographic groups say DEI has benefited or made no impact on their career. Even among Republicans, 26% said they benefitted, 53% said no impact and only 21% thought it hindered their career. Also 29% of men thought they benefitted vs 24% of women. www.axios.com/2025/01/17/d...

Men are excused for loving adventure, women are not. They are burdened with guilt for time away from family, careers, responsibilities & shamed if they head out solo. There's a lack of social support/education for women to wilderness adventure on their own. thetrek.co/wild-and-una...

When a Michigan high school cheerleader wore her uniform to school on a Friday (a tradition), she was told to wear pants because showing her legs is a "distraction to the boys." The uniforms were deemed ok for games but not for school. www.scarymommy.com/parenting/ch...

The craziest thing is that these interventions actually save money. Catching cancer early, preventing infectious disease and pregnancy are all so much more cost effective than their alternatives. Not to mention BETTER FOR PATIENTS
