Heads up: the Sephora sun safety kit releases today. For $40 you get an assortment of fancy face sunscreens which is a great deal and all proceeds go to @mskcancercenter.bsky.social for melanoma research. Protect yourself from cancer this summer! www.sephora.com/product/sun-...

I fully support med students being involved in advocacy, but this isn’t that. Ick factor 10/10.

April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month. This video is one of the best representations of why so many women don’t come forward. It’s quick, please share widely. We must continue to demand the release of the full #EpsteinFiles. This video is heartbreaking to hear the seats creak as people sit down

New data again reminds us of how frequently children 5 and younger visit the emergency department each year for injury or poisoning from cleaning products. As a pediatric emergency medicine doctor and a mom, here are my top 3 tips- #parenting #toddlermomlife #toddlers

Babies are expensive and the push to “buy this thing to make it easier” is all over social media. It makes complete sense that parents are looking to save money, but some products just need to be purchased new. #parenting www.goodhousekeeping.com/childrens-pr...

So wild that the people who claim the covid vaccine wasn’t studied long enough are now hyping their speed to approve new medications.

Nope

CDC reports 11 more pediatric #flu deaths as several key flu indicators fall slightly So far this season, 101 children have died of flu, roughly 85% of whom were unvaccinated. www.cidrap.umn.edu/i...

Fox News using the body of a service member who sacrificed his life for his country to scrub the image of an incoherent narcissist who lied to avoid his own service. Disgraceful.

Starting to feel like maybe all us board certified physicians should just sell bottles of multivitamins so people will listen to us. 🤷🏼

Because they haven’t read the Constitution

Norway has become the only country to arrest someone because they were in the Epstein Files. No action in the USA. And none in the UK either.

Agree 100% @urochestersmd.bsky.social @urmed.bsky.social

STUDY: “Results show that for every reported professional benefit that scientists once gained from Twitter, scientists can now gain that benefit more effectively on Bluesky than on Twitter.” Follow great scientists here like @michaelemann.bsky.social @peterhotezmdphd.bsky.social @katharinehayhoe.com

Among those who are aware of the recent changes to the federal childhood vaccine schedule, more expect the changes to hurt children than help them (54% vs. 26%), a new kff.org poll finds: https://bit.ly/46noew6

Happy National Women Physician’s Day

Trump could not be more explicit about his intention to rig elections this year and in 2028

The House of Medicine stands with science- as they always have.

What radicalized me? Do you mean today? Yesterday? Last week? 15 minutes ago?

If I was a tech bro and wanted to teach my AI software facial recognition, I’d start a trend where people post old pictures of themselves compared to new ones. Maybe, from 2016 and now. 🤷🏼

Curious how much this is costing the govt in legal fees? All this performative nonsense coming out of the administration is definitely neither free nor fiscally responsible.

South Carolina has reported 99 new measles cases in the past 3 days. Meanwhile RFK Jr. is “building a case” to argue that the U.S. shouldn’t lose its measles elimination status. But we’ve lost it and hell of a lot more. He only cares about optics. Reality need not apply.

They forgot to tell the AI to actually turn the pyramid onto its base so it was a stable foundation instead of a teeter totter. Also, it will be great to see funding for SNAP go up now so people can afford these foods. Oh, that’s right, they cut the funding.

MAHA going to be feeling lots of things when they start to need to present vaccine cards for international travel.

Ever need to get some vaccines before traveling? The CDC knows there are different disease risks in different countries. Trying to be Denmark doesn’t help Americans, unless we can adopt their healthcare coverage and parental leave programs.

Seems on brand😂. Remember, these are the people claiming expertise.

Literally

Possible measles exposure at two major US airports: Boston and Denver. www.nbcnews.com/nightly-news... via @nbcnews.com

Doctors aren’t ”hurt or offended” offended by people who choose not to vaccinate. Most of us understand the science and the contents of the #vaccines and how herd immunity works, so we get frustrated at all the disinformation from people in gov who will dictate how we may care for patients.

"Officials are urging doctors to vaccinate their patients and provide flu antivirals after deaths among children reached record highs and as a concerning mutation of the virus circulates in the US." www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025... via @melodyschreiber.com @theguardian.com

Feeling that we’ve reached “everyone loves access to toilets” as the only common denominator everyone can agree upon.

This is not the first time RFK Jr or his fellow anti-vax travelers conducted a study they knew would harm or kill children in low-income countries. It is a dehumanizing, colonialist model of manufacturing evidence: sacrificing foreign kids for political pseudoscience. www.notus.org/health-scien...

Kind of wild that leadership so interested in “America first!” “America is the best!” wants so desperately to copy other countries. Can we follow their gun laws too? www.cnn.com/2025/12/18/h...

How Unethical Research Seeds Medical Mistrust: the proposed new trial in Guinea-Bissau will cause harm and is not justified, open.substack.com/pub/bktitanj... by Dr. BK Titanji @boghuma.bsky.social

I’ll say it again, Oprah owes us all a big apology

Would love for him to provide data on how often these procedures are happening in children. (Spoiler: it’s zero)

“NIH is in crisis, grants are being terminated, labs are closing….but they found $1.6 million for an unsolicited proposal to study whether we should delay a vaccine we’ve been safely giving for 40 years, in a country where infants are at high risk of infection” www.cidrap.umn.edu/childhood-va...

Oh. Oh wow. If this non-competitive grant for a placebo controlled single blind RCT really is going directly to Christine Stabell Benn (and/or her research partner & husband Peter Aaby, i.e., the Bandim Health Project, Guinea-Bissau), this would be yet another rather huge red flag.
