I read about a group running a DnD campaign for 43+ years and, man, I can't get over how insane (and amazing) that is www.guinnessworldrecords.com/news/2025/10...

Did my med school buddies and I stop and go through all the cranial nerve foramina when there was an open skull on the side of the path at Six Flags for Fright Fest? Yes, yes we did

Reading a CDC article for class and this popped up at the top. Excuse me?!

Heard the updated goal song on WRHU's pregame intro and man, I like this energy #isles

My course director is making three Connections games each week related to lecture content for this unit (which is fairly heavy on heme onc) and I'm having a little more fun than I should with it

Great article on the current state of cancer immunotherapy research. Lots of great progress and lots of promise, but still plenty more to be discovered/developed (and a need for NIH funding to support that research!) #oncsky

Between this and his "too much liquid... at too big a number," I want to laugh but then I remember his secretary of health and pathogen services is fully on board Very glad I live in a blue state, though, and a big fan of the Northeast Public Health Collaborative

Man, we could've had a shot at hemispheric free trade and the TPP with Hillary. Instead we're getting left out because of small dick Don and his tariffs

Been pretty busy with classes the past two weeks but decided to pick up Trigger Warning (Neil Gaiman short story collection) while at the library under the very wrong assumption that it'd be light reading. Glad I got it though, definitely a good read so far

Hey now, don't forget about the Krebs Cycle! 10/10 sign though #medsky

Beautiful day for kayaking on the sound today. Couldn't say no to playing the Pirates of the Caribbean theme as we went

Solid turnout in Merrick earlier today! Some great music in the background too, from Bob Dylan to Green Day

It was great that Ezra Klein met with Senate Dems earlier this year, but it's really more important on local level right now. Would love to see something similar with mayors of large, blue state cities, city councils, etc

Great article from the WSJ on the new meaning/experience of cancer from the patient side, plus the importance of continued research and drug development Even had a quote from Dr. Mark Lewis, one of my favorite oncologists www.wsj.com/health/termi...

My lecture hall is an ice box

Officer David Rose died protecting us. A true hero. Thank you. 🔗 Link to Officer Rose’s speech: m.facebook.com/watch/?v=109...

Saw this sitting on a display in my library and couldn't pass on it

I still can't believe that we advanced to the point where we could make vaccines for novel viruses in months, where we're almost within reach of vaccines for cancer, HIV, type 1 diabetes. And instead of taking that next step, Kennedy decided to turn his back on our health

Abundance time!

It got better

Brandon Sanderson is amazing and Stormlight Archive is probably my favorite series. It's a long haul, but I highly recommend it for anyone even remotely interested in fantasy. Definitely worth the read

Pablo Sanchez is clearly wearing off for the Mets. I think we're now in dire need of a new gimmick

Really cool study showing how AI can empower drug discovery! The team used a RFdiffusion-ProteinMPNN-AlphaFold pipeline to design proteins that bind cancer associated peptides w/ high specificity and have the potential to serve as precision immunotherapies www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

I would have thought coming up with good questions would be harder, but surprisingly, the most difficult part so far (excluding any app design stuff, that's not my department by any stretch) has been writing up explanations that can address pretty much any possible misunderstanding/mistake

Absolutely reprehensible

Was talking about nuclear and solar power with one of my buddies and he started to propose a Dyson Sphere without knowing what it was. He's now getting a big list of sci fi to read once he takes his MCAT this week

Lindor breaking his slump and Alonso with a 3 run homer? I think the Mets may be back

Amazon Music jumping into the fire

We should be capitalizing on this and strengthening ties with Japan and SE Asia/Pacific. Absolutely no reason to start trade wars with key allies! www.cnn.com/2025/07/16/a...

Scenes from #GoodTrouble in Mineola, plus the sign of the day

Nothing like a good old fashioned unilateral trade deal

Wow! Look what happens when we fund the NCI and medical research overall

Yimby/Abundance Obama, things you love to see www.cnn.com/2025/07/14/p...

Ossoff-Pete: The OP ticket

Honestly kind of a fan of this gamification idea. Think I might have to join in on it #premed #meded

Oh, ok then. Should probably be considered domestic terrorism but I guess we can pretend it's normal, too www.news9.com/story/686de4...

The National Cancer Institute has led the fight against cancer — delivering cures, extending lives & giving families hope.
 Trump’s assault on science threatens to reverse decades of progress against this disease.
 It’s stupidity, not efficiency, and it will cost lives. We must reverse these cuts.

How did we fall so far? www.msnbc.com/msnbc/amp/sh...

Finished Lords of Uncreation (last book in Final Architecture trilogy) and what an ending to the saga

Decimating America's health while also killing us financially. Insane just how bad this bill is budgetmodel.wharton.upenn.edu/issues/2025/...

Was tutoring cardiac anatomy today and the girl was struggling to remember tricuspid vs bicuspid/mitral valve. Made a memory trick for it on the fly that worked for her and I really liked: -CO2=3 atoms, CO2 rich(er) right half = tricuspid -O2=2 atoms, oxygenated left half = bicuspid

I think he may be turning into the Lord of Abundance...

Interesting article on a potential new avenue for CLL therapy pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

Just finished book 2 in the Final Architecture series so, while waiting for book 3 to come in from my library, jumping back into Do No Harm!

Draft thoughts: - Sad to see Dobson go BUT very happy with the trade - Schaefer seems like an amazing kid, not just a top player. Glad to have him - Would have loved to pick up Hagens also but can't get everything - Don't know much about the other two picks but in Darche I trust #isles

We have a few summer students in my lab which is great, but geez, the way some of these kids take pipet tips at random is going to drive me crazy. They end up leaving the rest of the tips scattershot throughout instead of in a row

Nuclear is back, back in the New York groove (now let's actually build it) apnews.com/article/nucl...

Really interesting policy solution from Colorado. Sounds like a great way to protect vaccine access!

Went to Six Flags today (actually had a really good time, not many lines) but looks like I chose a very bad time to put on the miles. Got back, heard we started bombing Iran, and promptly filled up the tank. Hoping our troops in the Middle East stay safe

13. Kennedy is probably the most dangerous man in the government right now, but don’t take my word for it. Take it from @geauxgabrielle.bsky.social, an epidemiologist, writer and philanthropist who’s been sounding the alarm on how really bad things are really going to get.
