Honored to be speaking about ME, gender bias in medicine, and women's "unexplained" chronic illness at the #ICanCME2025 conference this afternoon. Thanks @icancmeresearch.bsky.social! icancme.ca/research/202...

The more I think about public education, climate change, science funding, the more I realize that Republican policy is predicated on the illusion that you can harm others in your environment without harming yourself.

Yay! We were locked out of this account because we forgot the password. Who can relate? 🙋🏻‍♀️ But we’re back! And ready to butterfly it up on here for the next few days of #ICanCME2025, our conference starting tomorrow.

Please join @putrinolab.bsky.social and I for this free webinar on Tuesday where we will be talking about increasing accessibility and collaboration in research. 👇 Thanks for hosting us and this discussion @solveme.bsky.social and @batemanhornecenter.bsky.social ! 💙

Anyone know how to fix an invalid handle? I’ve noticed a few of us with them.

I have also started one for #PatientPartnership in #research in Canada. It is still quite small still but will grow as our colleagues join us on this app. Anyone can follow us to learn more about patient partnership - how it works and where to find #resources. go.bsky.app/BPJWoAc

I have started a Starter Pack for ME and Long COVID. 💙 It includes some mutuals with other packs but also some new faces too. :) Please let me know if you want to be added. I know I still have about a million wonderful people to add. 💙 go.bsky.app/6R7bqc7
