hey kind people- if you read my book & enjoyed it, I'd be grateful if you could recommend to a friend or colleague or even post a review online- it's a real passion project and just want people to read it and engage with the ideas

So proud of our Montefiore-Einstein @einsteinmededu.bsky.social Radiology residents who are spearheading #CommunitiesCrushingCancer today at Moses Hospital in the #Bronx educating staff + patients about lung, breast and colon cancer screenings. American College of Radiology Health Equity Coalition

Congratulations to the Netherlands for showing authoritarianism the door! It can be done - Wilders' far-right party just lost 12 seats in their 150 seat House of Representatives, leaving them only 25. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/29/w...

Most doctors, most of the time, draw on their years (decades, in my case) of medical training & expertise to do the best we can for you. What distinguishes us from snake oil salesmen - persuasive grifters who prey on human fears to line their pockets - is our expertise & our integrity. Trust… 1/n

The next days and months and years will demand from all of us great courage — and solidarity. Be prepared.

Wow. Check this out. Politicians actually trying to solve problems can achieve a lot! www.washingtonpost.com/climate-solu...

Rossiter coined the term "Matilda effect" for when women's scientific work is attributed to men. It was a twist on the "Matthew effect," famously attributed to Robert Merton, but actually studied jointly by Merton and his wife Harriet Zuckerman, who was denied co-authorship

UCLA Health ended an NDM-1 Pseudomonas aeruginosa outbreak by tracing it to an ICU sink biofilm via whole-genome sequencing, then eliminating it with targeted disinfection, plumbing changes, and staff education—showcasing the power of diverse IPC measures. #AMR www.newswise.com/articles/the...

Masked ICE aren’t about safety; they’re about fear and evading responsibility. Demand transparency and accountability by adding your name to this petition:

There's research to suggest that just ONE consistently safe adult makes a huge difference to a kid's outcome. It doesn't have to be a parent or relative. It can be a teacher, a neighbour, someone else's parent, anyone. What matters is safety and consistency and here it is. Good on ya, bodega man. 🥹

Dear @stephencolbert.bsky.social, Thanks for all the years of speaking truth to power & finding the funny in fascism. Looking forward to following you wherever you land, Your fan, Mar🐫

Beyond proud of my two graduating DPhil students Fran Dakin and Laiba Husain, who have redefined what’s possible in doctoral study and are ROCKING the graduation look!

Super chuffed to see this new edition finally in print. Big Thank you to Dr Booth for the opportunity to join all the amazing superstar clinicians who contribute to #KumarAndClark 🙏🏼. Been a wonderful experience. Looks great! 🥰 #MedEd

So the amazing @shiyunzhao.bsky.social tried to jump out of shot but my camera finger was faster 🤣. Expertly facilitating a workshop about @uofglasgow.bsky.social @asmeofficial.bsky.social -funded work, training students as active bystanders when witnessing disrespectful behaviour. #MedEd #asme2025

While we’re glued on L.A., the story that would be top news happens: RFK Jr. removes all members of the CDC's vaccine advisory committee : Shots - Health News www.npr.org/sections/sho...

Wondering what the estimated 360,000 Americans in prison for drugs offences (over 75% Black or Latino) are thinking about how a ketamine-using White supremacist got so much power?

These figures should be heading the news every evening. Except, as we know, many lives of our fellow humans really don’t count (and go uncounted)

This looks so great: an evening with @liangrhea.bsky.social (social media medical royalty) hosted by @medicalwomenuk.bsky.social www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/an-evening...

8/8 Bottom line: The Pandemic Agreement is a milestone, not a miracle. Its success depends on political will, accountability, and real action. The world must now turn words into preparedness. Full paper here onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Yes -- I can really see the similarities. Thank you for your reflections!

We argue: •Place-based solidarity helps us understand how a shared commitment to place can keep services running under austerity. •Place-based solidarity has tensions and limits. It is not currently a sustainable solution to the retreat of the state.

Happy 86th birthday to Sir Ian McKellen!

Do you work in EM, but are nervous about dealing with all this "Neurodiversity stuff". Don't worry, we're all a work in progress, the important thing is you're doing the work This day might help along that journey. rcem.ac.uk/events/chang...

“We’ve got to do the same for social media— it’s the equivalent of putting our kids in cars with no seat belts, with no air bags, and having them drive on roads with no speed limits and no traffic lights. And that is just morally unacceptable.” www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

Congratulations to Dr Jacqueline Bello on receiving the Gold Medal of the The New York State Radiological Society, Inc today. A generous mentor, tireless advocate and luminary leader. Thank you Jackie for your friendship and guidance since the beginning of my career.

In a landmark public health achievement, Papua New Guinea has been validated by WHO for eliminating #trachoma as a public health problem. Trachoma, a neglected tropical disease & the world’s leading infectious cause of blindness, no longer poses a public health threat in the country. bit.ly/43wbr8C

Not for the first time this week I find myself asking what on earth is going through Keir Starmer’s mind? The best interpretation is that this crass decision was made without his knowledge and will soon be fixed.

Really good piece. Disputes about authorship, encouraged by a perverse promotion system that discourages collaboration, have done so much damage to academic endeavour. I’ve mentored lots of young people & seen how often they are exploited and bullied my egotistical seniors.

The UK COVID Inquiry should be required viewing for anyone working in public health. Hopefully people will find my appearance useful youtu.be/kXntLNz_xXs?... but Iain Buchan on Liverpool's experience yesterday was excellent and Sir Paul Nurse, today, is amazing

I had a productive call with Ursula von der Leyen this morning. We’re ready to build on our free trade relationship, bolster economic security, and work side-by-side on shared defence and security challenges. When Canada and the European Union build together, our futures are stronger.

[20] Low turnout suggests to me complete apathy by the other half of ppl who vote [33% v GE .~60%]. You could argue they wanted to punish Labour. If they did & felt strongly they could have voted Gn/LD which would have actually scared Labour. They didn’t,

Thanks @meganranney.bsky.social for an inspiring keynote at the ELAM graduation today. You are a true #NewPower leader. Thanks for the shout out for #RadEqual which has always been about channeling rather than hoarding power

🚨NEW: Wisconsin judge threatens to go on strike in support of Judge Hannah Dugan, arrested by the FBI. Monica Isham: “I have no intention of allowing anyone to be taken out of my courtroom by ICE & sent to a concentration camp without the due process the constitutions we swore to support require.”👏

This is what a rigged economy looks like: In the 1970s, CEOs made 27 times more than the average worker. In the 1980s, CEOs made 48 times more than the average worker. This decade, CEOs are making 354 times more than the average worker. That has got to change.

Katie Phang: And now that my time here at MSNBC comes to a close, I am taking that fight back to a familiar place… I hope you'll follow along with me as I continue to meet you where you are at places like Substack and YouTube with fellow truth tellers like MeidasTouch…
