I had to say goodbye to my best friend Panda last week. His health problems had gotten worse, and there wasn't much to do for him. I was lucky to have the vet come to the house, so he didn't have to bear the indignity of going to the vet office one last time.

Happy new year!

20% off FlowFlex COVlD tests at Pharmalynk. It's the test I trust and the company I've ordered from consistently the past 2 years. Better validity and lower cost than other rapid antigen tests. I do not receive any revenue from any product or company, just a good deal.

_Environmental Health Perspectives_ was a #diamondoa journal formerly published by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (#NIEHS, within the #nih). When #Trump slashed the NIH and NIEHS budgets, the journal began the process of laying itself down. But now the American Chemical […]

We are failing our kids

Libraries have had to make difficult decisions this year while federal funding was rescinded. Funding reinstatement is making a difference, including in Indiana: www.whas11.com/article/news... Tell Congress to #FundLibraries in next year's budget: app.oneclickpolitics.com/campaign-pag...

‘Death remains my intimate shadow partner. It has been with me since birth, always hovering close by. I understand one day we will finally waltz together into the ether. I hope when that time comes, I die with the satisfaction of a life well-lived, unapologetic, joyful, & full of love.’ —Alice Wong

She was extraordinary, and extraordinarily generous. Alice Wong: I am so grateful to have been alive in her lifetime. She was one of our species' best. She deserved better. My her legacy be for a blessing.

I never knew her, but I loved how she loved the disability community. RIP, Alice.

Commentary by @needhibhalla.bsky.social et al. on the recent attacks on DEI in biomedical research. Data show that diversity in the science increases creativity & success in tackling challenging problems. 🧪 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

We’ve seen where this ends. The Nazis targeted disabled people. Those in power rely on society’s fear and misunderstanding of disability. The truth is there’s nothing to be afraid of. We aren’t less than. We aren’t “better off dead”. We’re worth fighting for.

#datalibs #medlibs NIH Data Management and Sharing Policy question - is data that was produced from grants that are now terminated still subject to the original grant terms and conditions?

Help me build the St. Jude Archives and Special Collections as our new Digital Collections Archivist! This new position will be responsible for managing our oral history collection, our future Electronic Theses and Dissertations, and some digitization. It's a great early career archivist job.

Today the internet lost Maru, cat of legend, so I'm putting out an empty cardboard box for him.

Mask up, y'all! The mechanism seems to be that 1) you still have dormant cancer cells (DCCs) when you're in remission, 2) specific T cells keep DCCs dormant, 3) COVID makes those cells not do their job right, & 4) lets the DCCs become active cancer cells and metastasize. www.nih.gov/news-events/...

We have agency. We can speak up. We can show up. Advocating for cancer care means speaking to legislators, bringing patient stories to the front lines of policymakers, supporting & amplifying each other to continue to do the work that changes outcomes. ➡️ @oncoalert.bsky.social @statnews.com

Potentially catastrophic behind-the-scenes news about the Network of the National Library of Medicine (www.nnlm.gov) shared with me today. While some NNLM host institutions were able to float the offices while funding was paused or delayed in 2025... it is unlikely that happens again. #medlibs 📚

NIH comment request for public access fees on NIH grants:

This is incredible. Not only is it beautiful work, it's a reminder that there is no shame in being increasingly disabled as multiple cancers slowly take my health and my life. This, too, is a process. Thank you @philsinabind.bsky.social and @sfdirewolf.bsky.social.

As a #childhoodcancer doctor, I'm proud to be able to advocate for children with cancer in any way that I can. Here is a piece that I recently wrote for #TheDetroitNews, who kindly published it. #PEDCan #CANSky www.detroitnews.com/story/opinio...

Children have died who have recovered from Cancer, only to be lost to COVID. Same for so many patients. It’s not acceptable that five years on there is no correct PPE in healthcare. No clean air and restricted vaccines. One life isn’t worth less than another and this is dividing families too.

I bought my home hoping it could eventually be a point of refuge for other community members who may need a place to land This loan stands between me and making that a reality If you mean what you say about helping disabled folks + other marginalized groups, please consider helping me pay this off

Describing cancer patients as “brave” is inaccurate and dehumanising. We need less dehumanisation in the NHS. Also dehumanising: putting doctors and nurses on pedestals. This fails to recognise their full humanity. I wish we’d all stop dehumanising each other. #cansky 1/3

This is very, very bad. A new state law will likely force the closure of hundreds of low-enrollment programs at Indiana University. The cutoff is 15 graduates/year for undergrad majors, 7 for Masters programs, and 3 for PhD programs, averaged over 3 years. wfiunews.wordpress.com/2025/06/24/h...
