Wishing the Jewish community a meaningful and reflective fast this Yom Kippur. גמר חתימה טובה May you be signed and sealed in the book of life

President Trump and Congressional Republicans just shut down the government because they refused to stop your health care costs from rising. Let me be clear: Republicans are in charge of the White House, House, and Senate. This is their shutdown.

I miss the days of the tweetiatrician. We built so much community under the shared purpose of sharing evidence based child health information. The methods and platforms may have changed but that doesn’t mean we can’t keep going. Follow pediatricians. Share our messages. www.tiktok.com/t/ZTMjGmB2j/

Up early to run the 5k and then spent the day learning with my colleagues. I always feel a renewed sense of purpose at the national conference. Thanks @ameracadpeds.bsky.social! Next year in San Diego! #AAP2025

Pediatrics is the lowest paid medical specialty. Our numbers are decreasing despite a constant rate of children in the US. If children are to be a priority, especially their health, something needs to change. #AAP2025

I still think it’s backwards that every mass shooter owning an AR-15 is considered a right while their victims’ healthcare is considered a privilege.

"Because of changes that are starting to roll out from Trump's 'big, beautiful' bill... about 2.4 million people could lose access to the food stamps per month... "Millions more will see their monthly benefit amounts shrink because of changes mandated by the law... www.cbsnews.com/news/food-st...

Super excited to be in the room with @pauloffit.bsky.social to hear him talk about the war on vaccines. Pediatricians are in for a long road and having expert voices is so needed right now. #AAP2025 #VaccinesWork

This is so important! And glad I got to meet up with @drjaimefriedman.bsky.social at #AAP2025!

Need facts, hope, and clarity about child health? Follow pediatricians 💕 As a pediatric PA, physicians like @drjaimefriedman.bsky.social @drelizabethmurray.bsky.social @drscottk.medsky.social @deannamarie208.bsky.social @tphammd.bsky.social are my go-to mentors in advocacy and medicine. Follow all!

So excited to hear Dr. Mike (@pediacast.bsky.social) speak at #AAP2025. Speaking about online health information and AI. Only 1% of healthcare professionals create online content. I’m proud to be one of those! It’s vital since so much of the population consumes health content online.

Being at a conference today means I won’t be watching the Ravens take a beating. It’s for the best.

Yesterday at #AAP2025 was filled with so much learning and camaraderie. I finally got a picture with my girl Linh and met @darthdrpete.bsky.social. Plus an amazing dinner with my San Diego colleagues.

Massive turnout for the opening plenary to see @glaucomflecken.bsky.social #AAP2025

Going to a talk on insomnia and I’m not sure if I’m going more for my patients or myself. Also I’m not sure if I’ll even stay awake. #TheStruggleIsReal #AAP2025

Nothing like being in a room of 15,000 pediatricians who have been fighting misinformation long before COVID and long before RFK, jr, and continue to persist and fight for the health and well being of children using actual evidence and expertise. #AAP2025

First session of the day is learning how to prevent food allergies by the one and only Dave Stukus (@AllergyKidsDoc on IG). Say what you want about the ills of social media, but I have learned so much by following him. Stay tuned! #AAP2025

Day 1 of #AAP2025 was so fun. I had time for 1 session of learning but was really there for the people. I love seeing old friends! I’ll be in the exhibit hall at the Rady Children’s Health booth from 12-2 today so come say hi!

Made it to Denver! I’ll do my best to post relevant updates from the world of pediatrics so check back. #AAP2025

Dr. Peter Hotez, a vaccine expert and the parent of a child with autism, who notes that increased autism rates are also a consequence of improved diagnostic practices. Autism was first diagnosed by name in 1911. Tylenol first came on the market in 1955. www.democracynow.org/2025/9/24/pe...

Waking up at 5 am so I can do my final training run before the 5k on Monday, shower, and be at the airport before 9 so I can be ready to get YEMSG tickets before my flight.

Anyone else get pre-travel jitters? Like I have no reason to be nervous about my upcoming trip. I’m actually super excited to see all my peds friends and learn tons, but I keep feeling anxious 😬

OMG it’s your birthday @sulkirk.bsky.social?! Have the best birthday! Thank you for being a sweetheart and being a source of joy every time I see you.

RFK Jr fired everyone on ACIP, out of concern for conflicts of interest, but he’s made an embarrassment out of this whole country by saying Tylenol causes autism based on a study by a guy who made $150k testifying against Tylenol…and whose testimony was so unreliable it was thrown out by the judge.

Watching Next Gen Chef makes me so anxious for the pressure my daughter is under as a CIA student.

Undermind, Phish’s eleventh full-length studio album, will be available on vinyl for the first time November 21, both in stores and online. It’s available for pre-order now at Phish Dry Goods → dry.gd/undermind. More details below.

So I got 12/29 and 12/31. Don’t ask. I wasn’t sure enough about my plans and didn’t know if I could split a package so I went with individuals. Anyway, now I need a 12/30 and apparently another 12/31. My non-Phishy daughter wants to go so wish me luck Friday!

If you’re wondering how batshit bananas he has to be to claim, without any evidence, that Tylenol causes autism, let’s not forget his other proclamations: “Windmills cause cancer” “Injecting bleach cures Covid” “UV light cures Covid” “Summer cures Covid” “Covid will get bored and go away”

Here is an excellent resource on vaccines and autism, addressing also other causes and Tylenol, with references. www.chop.edu/vaccine-educ...

(Autism existed before Tylenol)

tinyurl.com/yc5nhcv4 In one of the most irresponsible presidential press conferences in history, Donald Trump declares that Tylenol during pregnancy cause autism. Again, apparently, mothers are to blame.

When your heart is broken by your favorite team and your government is single handedly making your job significantly harder all in the same day.

Is #tylenol safe in pregnancy? Data 👇 A large Swedish study of 2.48M children found: 👶 No link btwn prenatal tylenol & autism, ADHD, or intellectual disability once sibling comparisons controlled for family/genetic factors. 👉 Tylenol is safe in pregnancy if needed. jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

Before people call to ask. Measles is not available as a single antigen product in the USA. It's not FDA approved, we don't carry it, and we can't order it for you.

Medical ethicist Arthur Kaplan, quoted in the NYT: “The announcement on autism was the saddest display of a lack of evidence, rumors, recyling old myths, lousy advice, outright lies & dangerous advice I have ever witnessed by anyone in authority in the world claiming to know anything about science”

I’ve been at work all day, about to head out to celebrate the Jewish holiday while secretly following the Ravens game on my phone, but I know there was a misinformation laden press conference today. Please do not take any advice from it. Please listen to your doctor and trusted medical organizations

Rosh Hashanah fireworks??

Just a reminder before the “big announcement” today. Autism was discovered in 1911 and the modern definition of Autism came in 1943. Tylenol wasn’t widely used until the 1950s. Anyone trying to tell you that Tylenol causes Autism isn’t someone that should be taken seriously.

Whatever happens at tomorrow’s announcement by RFK Jr, know this: autism spectrum disorder is not caused by one thing, and I refuse to let mothers be shamed for taking Tylenol during pregnancy.

Not just Unpopular! He's also the Most Unworthy-Unqualified-Unethical-Uneducated-Unprepared-Undemocratic-Unfortunate-Unhinged-Unjust-Unread-Unappealing-Unconscionable-Untrustworthy-Unscrupulous-Unstable-Unbearable-Unlikable-Unreliable-Unsound & Unctuous President in Modern American History. 🇺🇸 🙄

Tell me you shopped for the holidays without telling me you shopped for the holidays

Football is going to be more relaxing today since the Ravens aren’t playing but I’m annoyed their Monday night game is on Erev Rosh Hashanah. I wonder if my friends would mind having the game on during dinner 🤔😬 Either way, here’s hoping 5786 is a good one! #ShanaTova #RavensFlock

With #OBBB cutting funding for food assistance, Trump doesn’t want us to know that more Americans will be going hungry. #MAGA #Hunger @shematologist.medsky.social www.nbcnews.com/politics/pol...

I hope everyone has so much fun at the mothership tonight. Please stay safe. I’ll be watching from the couch! ⭕️ 🎶 💃🏻 🛋️ ✌🏼

Shabbat Shalom/Gut Shabbos. The days are getting darker in more ways than one, but we can’t let our collective light be dimmed. The light will drive out the darkness. Sending up extra prayers for my mishpocha who are preparing for the high holy days.
