We're witnessing the most aggressive, fanatical crackdown on free speech in my lifetime. The speed and breadth of government censorship and private sector and nonprofit capitulation has been astonishing. As has the lack of urgency/silence from people who've long claimed to care about this stuff.

When Elon was a kid, survival for ALL, the most common childhood cancer, was <10%
Now it’s >90% due to funded collaboratives (high indirect costs) whose work ultimately SAVES THOUSANDS OF LIVES EVERY YEAR.
For other cancers there’s still so much progress to be made.
I think it’s worth it.

Look, I’m not the CIA’s biggest fan, but can we not describe the ONGOING FUCKING COUP as a “makeover”
Hey it turns out we're getting rid of the CIA.
"The Central Intelligence Agency offered buyouts to its entire workforce Tuesday, in what officials said is a bid to bring the agency in line with President Trump’s priorities, including targeting drug cartels."

Vaccines do not cause autism. You’ve almost certainly read that before — but often without a full explanation of how we know it to be true. Here's how we know.

COVID, which is airborne & prevented by masking, has been a leading cause of death for children since 2020 and remains a leading cause of death. Some doctors, who do not treat children or COVID patients, think their billionaire benefactors and political ambitions matter more than those lives & facts

Important point from Lydia
I’m all for the Democrats embracing populism and ditching neoliberalism. I just want someone to explain how that works in a post-Citizens United environment. Dem populist hero Sherrod Brown was beaten by a Mercedes dealer in Ohio because he was swamped by crypto super pac cash.

Weird how none of the What Democrats Should Do Now articles say "Lie incessantly" and "Be super racist," because those things definitely work.
This is how the story of Trump's campaign is being rewritten as something that just spoke to genuine discontent, not the vile hatefest it actually was.

When I committed to my MD/PhD, my dad bought *himself* a new car to celebrate — something I find hilarious and well-deserved. Today, that car was rear-ended in a near hit-and-run. Just hoping that’s not an omen, tbh. (Mom and Dad are okay, don’t worry!)

One of the most fascinating things about grad school has been the frequency with which people’s off-the-cuff research questions have been reasonably answered from things I learned in M1 and M2. I remember the reverse being true in medical school, but it’s been incredibly validating to see it here.
