i know people are probably tired of seeing this but i have 45 participants with a goal of 280. if you qualify for the survey, please consider taking it! if you do not qualify, it would be very helpful to repost and boost in your networks! (also i am very happy to answer any questions)

Nursing must continue to lead on this issue. Population health and the recognition that health starts in our communities is a core part of the nursing perspective. Addressing the inequities driven by social determinants of health are foundational to ethical patient care.

every quantitative measure is actually a stack of qualitative assumptions in a trenchcoat

It seems clear Alex Pretti, a healthcare worker, was murdered for engaging in the exact kind of community care we hope all care workers to embody: the kind that doesn’t stop at the threshold of the hospital, the clinic, but that aims to care for and support the community where and how they can

I’m conducting a 30 year experiment to see what happens if you never get a good night’s sleep

It may not seem like it, but right now is a great time to think about the different world we want.

New tax laws eliminate several federal grants and loan repayment programs for nurses. This will worsen America’s nursing shortage and leave patients waiting longer for care, according to scholars who oversee nursing programs at large universities. buff.ly/sEU0Z2J

If 2025 didn't stop you nothing will

You want me to look back on 2025? The thing that doomed Orpheus? The thing that turned Lot’s wife to salt?

There isn't a single problem "solved" by edtech that couldn't be fixed with smaller classes led by well-paid teachers given real academic freedom

What a great piece! This just gets better and better as you read. prospect.org/2025/12/11/s...

Or anything, really. Passing your grading off to AI is simply deciding that your students’ work isn’t worth engaging with. And if that’s how you feel, why on Earth are you in a classroom?

For the real healers...

People are not worried enough about this and it will be devastating

It's been sad to see this happen to my undergrad institution. The dream of UChicago is a worthy dream, even if it was never quite realized, further now than ever.

Every tech update now is like: "Great news, the word processor you've relied on for twenty years has learned to juggle! Is it good at it? No! Does it help in any way? Of course not! Has it made it insufferable to use? Oh, absolutely."

More than 37 million adults in the U.S. are estimated to have CKD, yet about 90% don’t know they have it. Without early detection, people lose valuable time to slow or stop the disease’s progression. NKF is committed to changing this.

You owe it to yourself to develop your own interpretation of a text, & there's no shortcut to doing that but sitting & going through all of its words & absorbing them.

"Remember, these standards exist to help us decide whether you have a job in academia forever or will never work in academia again. If you have questions about these standards, please ask three different people and get three contradictory answers."

I think in part the higher education funding crisis and the LLM-teaching crisis actually strike at the same problem, which is that education doesn't work without a broad, society-wide sense that the *actual content* of education - not the credential - is valuable.

Inside us there are two wolves

Chronic kidney disease often goes undiagnosed, but early detection can prevent severe outcomes. A nursing professor explains what you need to know to keep your kidneys healthy: buff.ly/JNxzFSR @eriverarn.bsky.social, University of Illinois Chicago

A new article I wrote in collaboration with @us.theconversation.com on the importance of being diagnosed and treated for early-stage kidney disease - how we're falling behind in our clinical goals, and how patients can advocate for themselves: theconversation.com/chronic-kidn...

its amazing how chatgpt knows everything about subjects I know nothing about, but is wrong like 40% of the time in things im an expert on. not going to think about this any further

This thread was so generously shared and is beautifully, intelligently stated. It's exactly what I needed to hear to knock me out of my existential despair spiral.

I have taken the resources that were in the budget and which you were probably saving for higher education Forgive me they were needed to feed the AI bubble and to dismantle the humanities

Hear me out... when I was pregnant and feeling horrible and hated all food I think I would have consented to this

@johngreensbluesky.bsky.social is always there for you when you need him

Sometimes developing discipline is simply deciding Future You is someone worth taking care of.

Individual resilience is not something we should be working towards. Rather, the goal should be a healthy society where resilience is not a necessity. #trauma #mentalhealth

I'm adding this to my introductory class slides!

I try to be as aggressive as possible about offering students extensions on their assignments. And it's clear so many of them have had horrible experiences in their past with disrespect from instructors.

Excited to be included!

Stupidest mistake would be running gels/blots backward. Grossest mistake was definitely spilling an entire bottle of trimethylamine 🐟🐟🐟
