Not to mention that MAHA also isn’t your typical community health org. It’s a politically charged initiative tied to RFK Jr., with a shaky scientific foundation and commercial interests. Columbia should be more transparent about who they’re using their platform to promote.

@columbiamed.bsky.social posted this on X? CUIMC has many obesity medicine docs, dietitians, etc. who study nutrition. Trustee Shoshana Shendelman isn’t one of them She’s been sued for fraud (hiding FDA concerns). Faculty have a petition to remove her from CU leadership: bit.ly/Remove-Trustee

Still thinking about the official Columbia Medical Center @columbiamed.bsky.social X account posting about the “importance of collaboration” between pharma and Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) as if MAHA is a legit org and not a gov. committee & broader movement, both widely considered unscientific

This 🧵 🔥 Clearly the @columbiauniversity.bsky.social community has some **questions** for the Board of Trustees

Columbia University Acting President Claire Shipman welcomed to Columbia College's graduation ceremony with sustained jeers and boos. Minutes later, students break out in loud chants of "Free Mahmoud":

"Strains bounds of propriety"? How about "shatters every ethical norm of public service"? I truly want to know what the headline writers at the @nytimes.com are smoking, and to what end.

Preserve academic freedom & fac governance 5. Affirm tenants of DEI 6. Protect research & provide backup funding shorturl.at/6OLTJ

Correction now @columbiauniversity.bsky.social has signed on, thank you Acting President Shipman 🙏

Insanity. Sheer insanity.

TFW your university acting president speaks in Orwellian prose, saying that the university senate - which is elected through basic representative processes - is not “representative”. @columbiauniversity.bsky.social please explain.

Ashamed that @columbiauniversity.bsky.social failed to sign this statement in support of higher ed’s independence - President Shipman, pls stand up! www.aacu.org/newsroom/a-c...

Scientists & faculty of the Columbia Irving Medical Center spoke out today on Trump’s ongoing assault on Columbia & all higher learning in America & how cuts in vital scientific research will harm the health of ALL Americans. Listen to Dr. Delivette Castor, Professor of Medicine & Epidemiology.

The Musk/Trump/Vance administration is moving fast to make all of us less safe. They are erasing health data across the government that are necessary to protect public health and understand health trends. www.theatlantic.com/health/archi...

Need something to listen to while you’re dashing around this weekend or chilling at home? I humbly submit this, drawing on #SexualCitizens, coauthored w @shamuskhan.bsky.social

Today marks the third yahrzeit of my beloved sister Jessica - mom, reading teacher, Orthodox Jew, fierce advocate for justice, incredible cook and margarita maker. You never know what’s ahead. Never imagined we’d lose her to idiopathic encephalitis at age 51. www.jfrej.org/news/2021/11...

Battacharya and RFJ Jr. don't have "unconventional ideas." They have deeply dangerous, unproven "theories" based on conspiracies. Any and all media outlets referring to "unconventional ideas" will be fully complicit in the many deaths resulting from dismantling the public health system.

This is fucking awful

Good morning!! What are you baking for thanksgiving? IMO there is no pie better than this pumpkin bourbon pecan pie. I will die on this hill. You’re welcome 😎 (ignore shopping list on right side 👀)

Someone called this mass exodus from Twitter ‘the fall of the Broman Empire’ and I died laughing. 💀

✌️

I am so here for this 👀 Why so many Dr and lawyer shows and so few academic ones…

Just got in a Lyft and the driver was like “o jennifer you are looking very pretty today” and I thought to myself I AM GOING TO BE… I said to him “thank you but I’m not interested in your comments about my appearance, they make me uncomfortable”. Also turned on safety tools.

They say the cover up is always worse.

Even @scaramucci.bsky.social lasted 10 days! Gaetz topped out at 0.8 Scaramuccis.

Bluesky is literally on Twitter with a Blue check mark, trolling 😂
