Had a great visit to the deCordova Sculpture Park and Museum recently for the first time in many years. If you are in/around Boston it is very much worth checking out, and it is free if you are a member of @thetrustees.bsky.social. Also a great combo with Walden Pond.

Should I be concerned about a podcast ad for a "coffee substitute" containing cordyceps? I believe I should. #thelastofus

Great show by Ashy Finn, Galaxy Cake and Lover of Eve tonight @dorchesterbrewing.bsky.social

4 de 9 sense folre 3 de 10 amb folre i manilles 4 de 10 amb folre i manilles Pilar de 8 amb folre i manilles La millor actuació de la història dels castells. I deien que no estaven bé. Entremig un intent de 9 de 9 amb folre, on hi han pogut fer només una de les 3 aletes.

When our son was little he labeled sardanas "monster music," so imagine my disappointment when my wife wouldn't allow me to use them for our Halloween soundtrack tonight. youtu.be/_3eHo-dMqIw?...

Updating teaching materials on nutrition today and realized that the myplate.gov website has (in addition to the blatant Hatch Act violation) apparently removed all the Spanish language content/handouts. Figured nutrition is a way of making America healthy. Not if you don't speak English, I guess.

I was told I looked más joven, bonito y flaco today....so at least I've got that going for me.

A new op-ed in @cogwbur.bsky.social, co-authored by our executive director @stephanieedc.bsky.social and @busph.bsky.social professor Paul Shafer, tackles the USDA decision to stop measuring food insecurity in the wake of SNAP cuts.

Sunday night listening youtu.be/85543eJkbHE?...

Very excited there is a new #Bandsplain episode after a couple month hiatus, and the fact that it's about Mötley Crüe speaks directly to my teen glam metal heart.

What a great show by @stereolabgroop.bsky.social tonight. My last one was 1993/94 at The Crocodile in Seattle, so it was a long time coming but worth the wait! Also check out the opener @memorialsmusic.bsky.social. I was a bit late for their set (door v show time mix-up) but liked what I heard.

I uploaded 10(!) letters of recommendation yesterday. Apart from the last minute frenzy of proofreading, correcting, and cross-checking, it was really nice to reflect on how amazing (smart, kind, committed) our med students are and what a privilege it is to work with them. #Match2026 #fmrevolution

I was psyched to get a @tom-vek.bsky.social and Anna Prior collaboration in my new releases this week. Now how about a double bill with Tom Vek and Metronomy, preferably here in Boston?

In the community where I work (and many others), food insecurity is a huge issue and cuts to SNAP and fear of ICE are making it worse. Seems important to understand the impacts of policy choices, but I guess we just won't talk about it. apnews.com/article/trum...

It was a heavy week, but tonight because a friend had an extra ticket I ended up seeing Supergrass (who I somehow missed in the 90's) with Sports Team in support. I knew a total of one song, but the show was great, and I was thankful for the cathartic and healing power of live music.

Ozomatli bringing it (as always) on a Monday night in Somerville

Looking forward to meeting lots of students at @aafp.org FUTURE2025 in Kansas City this week! Lawrence FMR will be at booth 216. Check out our program here: www.lawrencefmr.org. #FUTURE2025 #fmrevolution #fmsky #lovelawrence 1/2

This is a huge concern for those of us working in largely immigrant communities. It hurts individuals/families and undermines our ability to adequately provide care, with wider implications for society and public health. There is a public comment period (see next) 1/2 www.wbur.org/news/2025/07...

Positive update with thanks to @nilc.org www.nilc.org/press/federa...

Major advocacy by a great doc I've been privileged to know since her internship. She's been doing amazing work treating HIV in Idaho for years and now is suing the state over legislation designed to block care for some immigrant patients. This is the way. #medsky #fmsky apnews.com/article/immi...

Toasted marshmallows and a little dark rum by the fire? Sure!

Make no mistake, the SCOTUS decision about birthright citizenship IS ALSO ABOUT *birthright citizenship.* The Court is using nationwide injunctions as the tail, wagging the dog, to take us back to an Antebellum view of citizenship. That way led to war once. My latest in @thenation.com

Tonight this trunk will be lit on fire and knocked over, everyone will jump over it as it burns, and then we will apparently eat xurros. #EthTaro www.festes.org/ca/calendari...

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.

"Every system is perfectly designed to get the results it gets..."

They blame pollution but cut the EPA and clean air and water regulations. They blame poor nutrition but cut SNAP and programs to bring local produce to schools. They blame increased screen time while destroying public infrastructure that connects people. All while they take millions off healthcare.

Thankful for Dr. Chen and Dr. Murthy for this well written piece in the NJEM calling on physicians to speak up for healthcare and our patients. @drsforamerica.bsky.social #MedSky

Question posed at today's residency annual meeting: "Which attending's Spotify playlist is titled 'Punk Teen Angst'?"......Despite many votes, the answer was NOT me. That's only like half of my playlist.

A reminder that most people who receive SNAP (or medicaid) who are able to work already do so. Work requirements are just a bureaucratic hoop which increase program costs and reduce access. Expanding them, and redefining children 8-17 as non-dependents, only serves to hurt vulnerable families.

Here's an innovative program providing high need communities with access to healthy foods, closing due to the elimination of federal food supports. A policy agenda truly focused on improving health would increase, not decrease, support for such programs. #medsky #sdoh www.wgbh.org/news/local/2...

Congrats to TUSM/Maine track student Eva Farkas for her research award re: examining the impact of inpatient addiction care in Maine. Another spoiler alert: MOUD prescribing and vaccination rates improved! Another reason why institutions should support addiction med clinicians. ✨

Structural inequalities lead to health inequities - FACT. One of the best ways to address centuries of inequity is to have physicians who reflect the population they serve -FACT. Medical schools must fight this in public, in the classrooms and in the courts. @drsforamerica.bsky.social

I generally find Ezra Klein a bit overly moderate, but listening to his intro here was chilling. open.spotify.com/episode/1EVo...

It's big things and little things. For years I've been part of a group that nominates a med student for a USPHS Excellence in Public Health award. This is just a recognition of great work in the public interest. Today we learned that this award will no longer be offered. Why? #medsky #meded

Head Start is a vital resource in communities across the country, and has proven outcomes. I especially love Early Head Start for families needing extra support. Eliminating Head Start hurts our most vulnerable children, for the benefit of who? #medsky #fmsky nhsa.org/resource/fac...

Also important to note that immigrants put more into Medicare than they take out. This is bad policy not just morally but economically: doi.org/10.1377/hlth... @swoolhandler.bsky.social

"The way I was taught is, if your family were immigrants to this country and came for a better life, the price you pay for that is you can never say that 'no one else is welcome.' That is what America was built on," said the Dropkick Murphys frontman Ken Casey.

We've got a new Community Health Worker position to support our efforts around breastfeeding promotion and healthy food access in Lawrence. Please share if you know folks in the Northeastern MA area who might be interested: recruiting.ultipro.com/GRE1019GLFHC...

Saw these guys at Boston Fuzztival in October. Great set. Worth checking out if they are coming to your town.
