First time to be invited in the Philippine Pharmacy Week to represent the hospital/clinical pharmacy profession. This is so humbling and a milestone for my career after nearing a decade in the practice.

since they keep bringing up the bluesky echo chamber, @wired.com actually took a deep dive into the platform, spoke to CEO @jay.bsky.team this week about their open dev system that she says promotes openness and user control, and we’ll be continuing to watch as more and more users migrate
Bluesky Says It Won’t Screw Things Up
The not-a-Twitter-clone is exploding, and its CEO promises to not repeat old social-media mistakes. Her strategy? Massively empower users to decide how the service works.

Will be speaking in a webinar tomorrow about the local practice of pharmacy in AMS programs! This may not be representative of the whole practice in general, but you’d get some insights about the mandates and challenges in our roles. See you!

Some people will never be happy for the success you’re getting. Sad that these would be your least expected ones to be so unsupportive of your endeavors- your co-members/team members, even your leader(s).

You’ll definitely hear their silence in the sea of well-wishes and applause.

This book is a godsend. We couldnt find a reference for Piperacillin-Tazobactam 100mkdose q12h piperacillin-based for neonates for dose checking but this had one! Handy for pediatrics and neonatal doses! Huhu

After the poster presentations, I realized that I did not need anyone’s help to do the outputs, but I still included our team members. I delivered without assistance nor guidance, which I think shows independence but also is very dangerous.

That’s why I keep on asking others if my work is okay.

Recorded my presentation for a speaking engagement tomorrow. We still don’t have a stable internet connection because of the effects of the recent storm.
