Study of 86,000 scientists in 38 countries in gender balanced fields finds only 26% of women continue their publishing careers after 19 years vs 36% of men. "Gender balance does not really guarantee equal chances of survival in science."

Who’s quitting academia? Data reveal gender gaps in surprising fields
Even in scientific areas in which women are well represented, they are up to 40% more likely than men to leave research within 20 years.

Wrong # … #BladesNBougies. There is still time to participate and donate.

🍎 Donate to any food bank or hunger org & screenshot receipt
🍎 Log it for your #HCWvsHunger team of choice: hcwvshunger.org/how-to-donate/.

After falling for decades, the childhood mortality rate has started to rise.

What’s killing kids? Trauma, drugs and firearms.

We don't talk enough re: #eldercare. Caregiving is exhausting, harder than my day job & almost impossible to do with it. I've learned patience & found courage to share struggles: we need others' support/wisdom. Serving as an advocate is essential. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37983061/ #MedSky #SurgSky

When science is labeled as "political," we risk silencing facts in favor of opinions. Science doesn’t take sides, but it does demand action.

Let’s protect its integrity, support its pursuit, and remember: science isn’t about politics—it’s about humanity’s shared future.

There has never been a more important time than for all of us who care for kids to advocate for their health and futures. “Flood the zone” as encouraged by @annieandrewsmd.bsky.social #pedsurg ⬇️
Wake up pediatricians! Good morning.

It’s time to flood the zone.
