Wherever you go, and wherever the day asks you to begin, remember this you show up with strength. Every new week is a quiet invitation to fight for your dreams, your peace, and your growth. Some days the fight is loud, some days it’s simply choosing not to give up #happymonday #newweek

🙏 to all who have contributed great ideas & motivational strategies to this thread. It’s clear that the effect of ongoing turmoil is heterogeneous; everyone, incl tenured professors, are facing changes, but those in transitional stages (looking for grad/postdoc/faculty positions) have it worst. 1/
Getting asked about how academics can continue to do science & inspire trainees even in the midst of a continued (escalated) assault on science, reason, truth, & human rights. I don’t have great answers.
I would love to hear from mentors about advice they’re giving to trainees/ colleagues.

The dollar fell on Monday, as investors unnerved by U.S. President Donald Trump's latest tariff threats against Europe over Greenland piled into the safe-haven yen and Swiss franc, in a broad risk-averse move across markets.

Many implications for planetary health from our study:
-Practicing clinicians could consider their prescribing practices,
-Payors could consider a review of their formularies, and
-All health systems could consider conducting their own practice assessments to identify mitigation opportunities

Inhaler-related #greenhouse gas emissions in the VA health system dropped 68% from 2008 to 2023, primarily due to policy and formulary changes favoring lower-emission inhaler options.
