Musk’s staffers have entered an independent government agency by force. Employees from DOGE are now inside the Washington offices of the United States Institute of Peace. This comes just days after agency representatives were unable to gain access to the building on Friday being blocked by lawyers.

My current M2 class is getting ready to enter dedicated Step 1 studying in a week. All the stats I use to predict Step 1 success has me very excited about how this class is going to perform. This has been one of my favorite classes in 20ish years, not just academically, they have been a fun group

The bad news: a grand total of zero of my M1 and M2 students went to Ohio State for their undergrad degree, so I had a lot of pent up gloating during the week.
The good news: The majority of my M1 and M2 students are Bears fans, so I did get to release some of that gloating!

I’m going to take this opportunity to point out that at one of my previous institutions I taught a Nutritional Biochemistry course for M2s and had an entire 3-hour block covering the evaluation of dietary supplements. A third of that session was devoted to debunking claims made on the Dr. Oz show
