I was there today with my parents. HOME GROWN GOOD TROUBLE MAKERS SPEAK UP! #fiftyfiftyone

Ohio: 6 schools received more than $10 million from NIH in 2024 for a total of ~$700 million. Of that, $440 million went directly to research and $260 million went to facilities and administration. The new indirect cost rate would bring that to $66 million, a loss of $194 million.

This is important.

Yes to traction on BlueSky! We should also be boycotting X.

My favorite books in 2024:
Martyr! by Kaveh Akbar
My Brilliant Friend #1-4 by Elena Ferrante
Remains of the Day by Kazuo Ishiguro
All Fours by Miranda July
The Bee Sting by Paul Murray

It is sort of a feminist retelling of Thomas Mann’s The Magic Mountain. Lots of the book is just tiresome men saying tiresome things about women (all based on actual writings by well known male authors and philosophers). The “horror” part is their comeuppance.

Chinese food delivery, house cleaner, Wendy’s, Olive Garden hostess, diner waitress, singing telegrams…

I think all my random jobs have made me a more compassionate medical professional.

I just finished Playground by Richard Powers which is centered around the ocean. A medically interesting part about it is one character who describes his lived experience with Lewy Body Dementia.

The audiobook version of this book is so great. Huge cast.
