I'm not much use to my kids with video games. Until today. Someone made a Roblox hospital game where you run around as a nurse, so my kid is muttering things like: what the heck is heparin? What is lasix? Where can I find an IV pump?

Had the pleasure of observing a colleague running teaching rounds, them debriefing afterwards. A few months back, they had done the same during my rounds. If you are in academic medicine and not doing bidirectional peer observations, highly recommend. The more senior person has as much to gain!

Hot take. The older surgeon dressed in wrinkled scrubs with a blazer and dress shoes look doesn't work.

Sitting in a meeting being told that our recruitment website which I have invested countless hours into needs to be scrubbed of any whiffs of DEI. Knew this was coming but remain outraged, sad and worried.

Happy Hospitalist Day! Proud to be part of one of the oldest academic Divisions in the nation and love my colleagues and the patient/family centered and collaborative care they provide. If you know a Hospitalist give them a high five today!

The fact that FOUR physicians voted to confirm an antivaxxer with zero qualifications to run HHS is just so depressing

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

Please read, because, quoting the author: "don't give in to cynicism or apathy. That's what the people promulgating these horrible policies want - a bored, indifferent public who figures that who cares, nothing matters any more, it's gonna happen no matter what. But it doesn't have to."
This piece by @dereklowe.bsky.social for @science.org is everything you want to know about the current state of governmental science in the US

The kind of thing where if it weren't 2025 you would skim through, chuckle and move on. But since it's 2025 just add it to the pile of existential dread.
Now Musk has sent Booger, Broccoli Rob and Big Balls to the NOAA, in order to be sure us freeloaders stop getting all those free warnings about hurricanes and stuff.

I’m sure deporting people who produce food and slapping tariffs on countries that we buy massive amounts of food from will lower costs any day now.
