It took over 4 years, but the paper is finally published. In this study, we developed novel methods drawn from #LegalEpidemiology to map addiction #stigma in California law.

This #interdisciplinary work was conceptually and methodologically difficult!⤵️

Given that apparently the Stranger Things finale was meh (idk, didn't watch it, just the scuttlebutt) and we're not that far removed from the disastrous GOT finale that retroactively made everyone have never cared about the show:

COVID killed >100,000 people per year over the course of 2023 and 2024 in the US alone.

The level of indifference to this massive annual toll among both the public and the majority of my public health colleagues is stunning.

You really don't 😡

I mean, at least they are opt-out tools (for the moment), but "nutritional facts" is absolutely bizarre comms-speak for higher ed and I definitely don't want to learn more about any of this, Canvas

I am in the same situation as Paul but am struggling a bit with figuring out assessments since ethics exams are a poor method for medical students -- I typically use out-of-class writing, but AI seems to have basically made such a method difficult ...

I am so not ready for the term to start tomorrow

I wanted a foldable phone! So I got a Moto razor ultra.

24 hrs later, it's much better. I'm basically up and running on Android with all of the critical apps loaded and running smoothly (enough).

Apparently it's an extremely common injury

There is a deep and passionate intracommunal disagreement among Jews about the boundaries of antisemitism.

This is primarily a conversation for Jews in which to lead. Out-group members can of course join in but beware of tokenizing minority-minority views or lecturing Jews on our oppression.
The worst thing about the IHRA discourse is that once again I am compelled to listen to non-Jews explaining to me what is and what isn't antisemitism.

I understand perfectly well why non-Jews have a stake in this conversation but still feels bad. (Jews should also lead the conversation)
