Honored to be part of a curious, academic medical community dedicated to a better tomorrow.
Just finished this witty look into our theistic tendencies. The purpose of life? "It is our activities that have purpose-or don't." Wish we could put down the Fallacy of Wishful Thinking to celebrate what it means to be alive & do good in this world for its own sake, rather an eternal reward.

No, my son does not play football at @mit.edu
but he is a fervent sophomore double majoring. Gosh do I love the messaging here: Precious Cargo! In a world infatuated with sports, the only way to fix the chaos is by realizing our brain power is our sine qua non. Minds matter!
Making a statement, MIT's football team dons extra head padding for safety
The team mandated Guardian Caps this year both in practices and games.

Read a lot of Asimov to my kids growing up. Rediscovered this quote recently. Seems particularly relevant to remember given the growing vitriol and violence as we turn on each other, and are subsumed by the derision algorithms at play...

Great step forward for patients afflicted with metastatic bone disease. Skeletally related events account for ~20% of our cancer care economy. @ucdaviscancer.bsky.social @ucdavisortho.bsky.social

"Never regard something as doing you good if it makes you betray a trust, or lose your sense of shame, or make you show hatred, suspicion, ill will, or hypocrisy, or desire for things best done behind closed doors." Marcus Aurelius. Where has all the shame gone?

MRI and Ultrasound May Be Best Used in Tandem for Surveillance Imaging in Soft Tissue Sarcoma
Ultrasound is cheaper, faster, and is widely available compared with MRI, but is it enough to displace the gold standard imaging tool?

A recommendations from my son. The evidentiary claim is clear: material circumstance drives editorial & media agendas. While a little dated, a masterwork. So grateful for the recommendation. @mit.edu @upenn.edu @washingtonpost.com @nytimes.com @newsweek.com @economist.com @brownupolisci.bsky.social

Happiness is in the in-between. The good life is defined by the quality of our relationships. Consider reaching out to someone you care about who has become remote in your life.You will both be enriched. Especially consider one who thinks differently on important issues.You may find commonality.

Pls consider reading. We all bring many assumptions to our outlook. So much hatred. Our moral fabric is unwinding. Assuredly time well spent, no matter what your angle.You will become more enlightened abt yourself, others & hopefully we can all find a way to get along. TY @jonathanhaidt.bsky.social

"We mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor" signifies the commitment to one another and the cause of freedom & community. Care/Fairness/Loyalty/Authority/Sanctity/Liberty. A spectrum. Not all value the same & there lies the angst. Let's look through alt lenses.

Is the anger people feel towards oppressors the same as the anger they feel towards cheaters?Notions of fairness must manage equality vs. proportionality of accountability.Progressives & conservatives both embrace a righteous stance, just different optics.Come together? @jonathanhaidt.bsky.social
