Free speech means we can use the vocabulary we need to use in our scientific papers and news articles. #MedSky #AcademicSky #SciSky

The presidents of all universities should hold a press conference together at the National Press Club in Washington DC condemning the attacks on science and universities and outline the stakes for all Americans. 1/

Why are people drawn to RFK's false promises? Why do they have so little trust in medical institutions and why are they willing, even eager, to see them dismantled? We've enforced desperation on millions of now very manipulable people––and we're all now paying for it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_CxG...

I am honored @mlrobertsonmd.bsky.social 🙏🙏 #traumainformed care so important for older adults @tihcer.bsky.social

Grateful to have the opportunity to speak about trauma-informed care with @geripal.bsky.social alongside @ashwinkotwalmd.bsky.social & Dr. Kate Duchowny. This is core to inclusive care. Tread lightly, be kind. We know not what someone has endured. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/g...

I’m angry; you should be too. Call your member of Congress every day until they stop this hemorrhaging of scientific and clinical expertise. #Musk #Trump #Vought are making us less safer and making us sicker. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/18/u...

#grateful to #AlbanyMed for this honor - we have an amazing community of students, faculty & staff who are making the future of #healthcare brighter #medhum #healthhumanities #meded #humanism www.albanymed.org/college/dr-m...

Enabling antivax policy in our public health agencies will be directly responsible for the deaths of countless people. And anyone in power who doesn’t approach this type of disinformation as a direct attack on the safety of the public is complicit in that violence.

I’m doing a frugal February as part of a frugal four years

Hello everyone! I’m new here so I wanted to introduce myself. I’m a pediatric emergency doc from Chile. Passionate about health communication and medical education, particularly identity formation of physicians. I live in Santiago with my wife Caty, my two kids Emilio and Luciano, and our dog Isi 🐕

“Do things for people not because of who they are or what they do in return, but because of who you are.” Harold S. Kushner In a world where you can be anything, be kind. #kindness (Picture by SmileySarahdesigns )

Thrilled to see that my state #NewYork #Albany will be starting screening for adverse childhood experiences #ACES @tihcer.bsky.social @martinajelley.bsky.social @dhpomerantz.bsky.social #traumainformed

Watch this film a collection of 22 shorts from Palestinian directors living in Gaza - art can thrive in the darkest of times - the strength of human spirit is moving - everyone should see this to stop objectifying the issues open.substack.com/pub/michaelm...

Hate DEI? Suck it. Here are 5 women that made getting knocked out safer. Happy National Women Physicians’ Day

I think those of us who practice #primarycare (& #patients) have seen/lived this for years - talk to your state, be kind to your #PCP office staff - they are likely underpaid & underesourced #medsky #GIMsky #FMsky hms.harvard.edu/news/why-fin...

This is how you resist.

Say it with me: this is a coup. This is a coup. This is a coup.

I just saw a post from a CDC researcher saying they were forced to retract an abstract because it concerned transgender people. Apparently this is not an isolated incident.

Governor JB Pritzker signs order banning January 6 convicts from State Government Employment.

Where is the fierce, vocal, widespread OPPOSITION from our medical orgs? Where are the AMA, ABIM, AAP, ACS etc?

Costco - the only company to publicly come out in support of Diversity initiatives despite pressure from the GOP and they just raised the pay for their workers. Stop shopping at Target. Costco to raise hourly pay for most US store workers to over $30 www.reuters.com/business/ret...

All of a sudden, so many Internet strangers think they know what DEI is (they don’t) and that it is hiring marginalized people who are unqualified for jobs (it isn’t; no one is doing this). I’m *livid.* Marginalized people are more often OVERqualified. Mediocre white men are the unqualified ones.

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942. I know. I was there in those camps.

Let's all say it out loud. These people are fascists & this is a fascist take-over of the United States. You can couch your words more carefully, but the speed and ferocity of what is happening now is part-and-parcel of a coup. The GOP in Congress has surrendered. The Dems are out of their depth. 1/

Strong women are not jealous, insecure or crazy. They are intuitive, intelligent, compassionate and unwilling to tolerate lies and disrespect.

It’s feeling like a slow coup.

It’s like our defense-shields were taken down. Without science doing it work, I fear for our nation. Devastating. 🥵 #sciencesky #medsky
