March 4th. The only date that is also a command. It's been 19 years since my husband died of cancer & my life irreversibly changed. It took me years to feel like I wasn't drowning every minute of every day. Grief & financial toxicity gave me a mission. jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

In this @nejm.org Voices post, I take on one of the more annoying and pointless rituals of hospital work -- the annual N95 fit test. As one of the respected infection control specialists told me, it's not their fault. And I totally believe them. #idsky #medsky voices.nejm.org/doi/full/10....

I had to renegotiate my F99/K00 award twice in 6 months, and on both occasions I asked what specifically “DEI activities” means. I didn’t get clear answers, so I was hopeful the person that directive came from could specify (the NIH Director). I asked the on @whyshoulditrustyou.bsky.social podcast

Still time to write to your Senators (and get your friends to do the same). Casey Means is a charlatan with dangerous views on contraception, raw milk, vaccines and has a whole lot of conflict of interest--she's making money off it all. Just say no to the quack. actionnetwork.org/letters/oppo...

"If it's easy enough for consumer goods, why can't we do this for lifesaving medications?" #Medicare patients with high drug costs may benefit from the Medicare #Prescription Payment Plan (MPPP). LDI Fellow Jalpa Doshi explains how it works in @whyynews.bsky.social: bit.ly/4qUD3xK

Reports that National Institutes of Health Director Jay Bhattacharya will now lead the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on an acting basis. Unacceptable. Bhattacharya has spent his career undermining infectious disease prevention measures and spreading health and science disinformation.

🚨🚨🚨 And THREE stood up! Penn has joined MIT & Brown in rejecting Trump’s loyalty oath compact. When we join together and fight back, WE WIN! No amount of federal bribery is worth surrendering the freedom to question, explore, and dissent. LET’S GO! #DefendHigherEd @aaup-penn.bsky.social

The “Compact for Academic Excellence in Higher Education” would give Trump wide-ranging influence over hiring, admissions, tuition pricing, and even curriculum. Nine colleges were asked to sign on. 🔗 www.inquirer.com/education/pe...

Pathogenic variants in key #cancer susceptibility genes were detected in 5% of US adults in the All of Us study, exceeding prior estimates and highlighting race-based differences in prevalence. ja.ma/477ppzh

A Cornell University researcher has been developing an artificial heart for children for more than 20 years. Now, his research is on hold and his lab is shut down.

🧵🧵🧵with actionable link in 3rd post. This story took the wind out of me in 2019 and for some reason didn’t get as much air time as many of the other horrific police shootings that occurred in innocent people’s homes. Rest in power, Ms. Jefferson. Many of us are inspired to act in your memory.

Breaking: MIT just became the first university to reject an agreement that would trade support for the Trump admin's higher education agenda in exchange for favorable treatment. "Fundamentally, the premise of the document is inconsistent with our core belief." www.nytimes.com/2025/10/10/u...

The University of Arizona's faculty senate has voted to ask the UA president to reject the Trump administration's proposed compact. It's among an accumulation of voices who say not to be tempted by the good things in the compact due to its more fundamental threats. tucson.com/news/local/e...
