Cognitive load refers to how much working memory or short-term memory someone is using at a time. Minimizing the cognitive load it takes to use your site makes it more accessible for people with cognitive disabilities. Limit what you're asking users to remember to use your site.

Been masking up more often. Mostly due to having a disability & working near vulnerable patients.
Also: saw the CXRs below: complete whiteout from influenza A, H5N1.
I'm careful but not fearful right now, cases are mostly mild & mostly not person-to-person.

Ableism looks like building a world that doesn’t consider people with disabilities, then blaming them for not fitting in. It's the constant belittling, the exclusion, the 'inspiration' label slapped on them for existing, and the refusal to make basic accommodations because it’s 'too much effort.

The disability community is the the largest minority group in the country and often the most ignored. It’s also the only minority group you can join at any time. You can become disabled and most likely will with age. To care about the disability community is to care about your inevitable future.

The Humanities and their use within the sciences.
It is common to separate the Humanities from the Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) subjects. Today we look at how they can intersect and how one provides succor or inspiration to the other.

Counterclockwise: teaching, patient care, scholarship/research, and service. This faculty member is preparing for P&T. Work is never finished, never enough.
Best work life balance I've seen so far was my colleague who left academic research -> non-science career.

When someone with a #Disability shares a struggle,
Say this: "What is that like for you?"
Not that: "I struggle with that too. One time, I [insert something that is not even close]."
Totally get that you are trying to relate, but that invalidates the person's experience.

Blindness is on a spectrum.
When someone says they are blind, ask “ How much vision do you have?”
This opens up the conversation and prevents it from being built on assumptions.

As many are gathering for #Thanksgiving, it’s a reminder that some precious seats are empty.
Loss is often amplified on holidays, anniversaries, etc.
If you find yourself struggling, don’t worry alone.
Reach out to a friend. Schedule time with a therapist or psychiatrist.
