Main reason why I couldn’t be a serious influencer or streamer lol I am too afraid being cringe lmao

Well damn aite go ahead mueller she wrote. Who’s the next one to become cool? Brooklyn dad (defiant)? A krassenstein bro? Hoarse whisperer? Eric garland? Seth Abramson? mr weeks?

OG black twitter friends turned university professors! Found @nadirah.bsky.social in St Louis!

Is PCORI subject to NIH rules re subject matter and populations of interest etc? 👀

wrote one aims page from scratch today, think that’s a nap I’ve earned

Qinwen Zheng is stunning and she should be getting Maria Sharapova-level attention/money from the fashion/beauty industries.

The CDC has (had??) great guidance on how to handle things when you have an upper respiratory infection two months ago I was lamenting the fact that it’s not more widely shared with the public lol Now idk how much to tell ppl “go on the CDC’s website!” Since they RIF’d the place. Very fun times.

Is it too late in the season to write an OpEd suggesting ppl should stop going to the doctor for a URI?

Posting a selfie with Corey Booker after his long speech is the exact kind of cringy clout chasing I hope to never reach. No offense lol

How is anyone able to move along and keep writing papers and grants

I actually think the covid cc community sends anti-vaccine messaging even if not intentionally. Because what are effective vaccines for if not to protect you and reduce your infection risk? That’s literally how they work. Are they perfect? No! But certainly reduce illness severity & sequelae. 1/

MR had 100% support for his confirmation.

“But her emails” kind of day

I wrote a review of Fumilayo Showers’ “Migrants Who Care: West Africans Working and Building Lives in U.S. Healthcare” in Sociology of Race and Ethnicity. @SREJournal. My first time writing for a sociology journal, what an honor. Enjoy the review & book! journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

folks have asked me, "why silver spring?" there's lots of reasons but here's one: "Even when children grow up next to each other with parents who earn similar incomes, black boys fare worse than white boys in 99 percent of America." You know what city is among the 1%? www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Imagine a “Tom Marvolo Riddle Professorship of witchcraft and magic world order” bestowed upon Barty Crouch Jr at Hogwarts within days of Voldermort’s return. Or his downfall, you choose. Lol

Miguel is lowkey Mariah Carey’s heir in the R&B-rap duo arena. Dude never misses.

I just heard this as well. The entire staff of the National Center for Education Statistics, created in 1867, has been fired.

Is this good

This sign made me think of my conversations with @ethnography911.bsky.social about the “masculinization” or nationalsecurity-fication of PH. We’re past the point of appealing to war hawks with our save NIH/NSF pleas. I’d wager that ppl into public health security are centrist dems & not republicans.

Ok one more favorite sign. Adding the reference for you scientists who are not terminally online lol

Some of my favorite signs today. Sending love to my fellow aggrieved scientists!

Is this the beginning of the end of 'vaping' being the lesser evil myth? In this study e-cigarette use was NOT associated with smoking cessation. In fact vaping was associated with REDUCED TOBACCO ABSTINENCE, suggesting that it may PROLONG both smoking and nicotine dependence. #NotHarmless

As a Gen X’er, this is why I’m still unfortunately scandalized by all ads showing interracial couples. I’m like “wow, they don’t care who gets mad huh?” But to the bigger point here, yes, only a coward reads polling data to form the basis of their politics.

Severance reminds me of my engineering friends who work for defense contractors. Can’t bring phones into the office, can’t talk about their work outside of work etc.

I saw a dozen of eggs for $12 with my own eyes last night. No capitalist can ever talk shit about Cuba to me!

This is what I worried about: The Trump administration would just create an enemies lists of universities on the pretext of battling anti-semitism, and threaten them with financial collapse. As universities fall in line, the administration removes any dissent from higher education.

Viral claims about family influencers fleeing the state of California are completely false. TikToks and YouTube videos have amassed millions of views pushing this conspiracy. My article debunking it only has.... 2 shares. Journalism feels so fruitless sometimes.

Pretty pissed by insurance today

While NIH funded researchers have found a potential cure for one of the most deadly cancers around, Trump and Musk are continuing an illegal NIH grant freeze, threatening so many potential life saving scientific advances. www.theatlantic.com/health/archi...

Remember when that guy had us thinking vitamin C was going to be the ultimate solution for septic shock

Sigh. Medicaid.

1) The letter is not legal 2) Do not comply in advance!

Any sociologists or anthropologists out there studying the political economy of “travel nursing” ?

Endocrine & hypertension management friends, do you know of past or ongoing RCTs that compare adrenal artery embolization to complete adrenalectomy for unilateral primary hyperaldosteronism? What about catheter ablation vs embolization RCTs, of ablation vs adrenalectomy RCTs?
