Extraction from FB almost complete. I know #Bluesky is not a 1:1 exchange, but part of a retraining of what/how/with whom we share and most importantly, why.
Why? This is to say: I’m reachable on this channel for exchanges of info of all sorts, and sharing of beauty.

Happy birthday Liz!
Happy 76th birthday to 2009 Nobel Prize recipient Elizabeth Blackburn, whose 1984 discovery of telomerase not only demonstrated that cells can use RNA to construct DNA, but has spawned an entire field of biological study.

It is now indisputable that pregnant women needing emergency care are being allowed to die in states that have banned & criminalized abortion
Yet somehow it’s fine to ask 🤰 trainees / faculty to travel to these states for medical conferences or miss out on professional opportunities? #idsky #medsky

NEW: Porsha Ngumezi is the fifth case we've reported on in which a woman died after not receiving a D&C or its second-trimester equivalent in time, or at all.
Her case raises questions about how abortion bans are pressuring doctors to avoid standard care even in straightforward miscarriages.

Interesting perspective on if/when institutions should move to @bsky.app & join in rebuilding an ecosystem that existed on other platform. ≠ considerations that we have as individuals. Curious if government organizations in healthcare/science will be allowed to join given old platform owner #medsky
So for post #2…. Sharing my thoughts about pros/cons about @bsky.app, specifically for those of us managing cancer communications and marketing for centers like @ucsfcancer.bsky.social
