University of Miami DACA Scholarships Now Under Federal Investigation UM is the lone private school under investigation for providing scholarships to Dreamers.

So, this is going on at #MPOW www.miaminewtimes.com/news/univers...

A Zoom meeting showing multiple participant windows.

University of Miami Miller School of Medicine accommodated an online cohort for our staff development day today. UM is (at the moment) open-minded about #hybrid and #remote work. #staffdevelopment

What I want to say to our leadership (and I will and have): so, you want me to come in to the office 5 days a week to close my office door and be in online meetings 8 hours a day. Do I have that right?

Today is my 1.5 year mark on the job as Director of Curriculum Operations at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine! #meded #timeflits #UM

Definitely worth a read! 'Haunted by ableism: Ghosts of the past, present, and future in medical education' - #meded #ableism I love the phrasing: "haunted curriculum of ableism" - really paints a picture. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

I’m sad to read this news. I worked at region 3 based at the University of Illinois at Chicago (as it was called then) for 4 years and made many lasting friendships from the experience.

I enjoyed reconnecting with peers from across the country and learning from them. This is a valuable conference in that you would be hard pressed to not take away something you can learned to implement at your work.

1st of 2 days at the AAMC Information Technology in Academic Medicine conference (sponsored by the GIR) took place today. There were some unfortunate fires to put out at work while trying to pay attention to sessions I attended.

Just landed in #Minneapolis for the Information Technology in Academic Medicine conference (sponsored by the @aamctoday.bsky.social #GIR). Looking forward to learning a lot and reconnecting with friends and colleagues from across the nation. #meded #academicmedicine

Syndicated content in Sun-Times special section included AI-generated misinformation A Chicago freelance journalist said he did not fact-check information he compiled using AI before including it in stories for media clients.

It’s not excusable at this point to not fact check #AI. It’s just not. It’s not like it suddenly appeared yesterday. chicago.suntimes.com/news/2025/05...

Last week (I’m on a time delay, apparently 😆), we held our annual Curriculum Retreat at MPOW where we celebrate our wins and share our plans for improvement.

I was happy to hear from my former #MedLib colleagues that the incoming Medical #Library Association President (also a friend of mine!) included a slide in her inaugural address with my photo and said I was a positive influence on her career. Thanks, Madame President Heather Holmes!

Trump abruptly fires Librarian of Congress Carla Hayden, the first woman and African American to occupy the position, had been targeted in recent days by a right-leaning group.

Another unfortunate move by this administration. #libraries #librarians www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

Interesting listen about how #AI has impacted learning. The focus is mainly on K-12 and it made me reflect on my own primary /secondary school experiences. We got a computer lab with maybe 1-2 computers in the 1980s at my high school for 2000 students lol overcast.fm/+AARs4u2bamk

A month late, but the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine Office of Medical Education team celebrated our successful #MatchDay at 1-800-Lucky in #Wynwood today! It was a month late because I booked a trip to #Ecuador during Match week. Oops! #meded #DidIDoThat

Two women are handing out box lunches. One of the women has an Italian ice up in her hand.

Our University of Miami Miller School of Medicine Class of 2025 students held their scholarly research symposium today! While I have no idea what they are talking about in their posters, the Italian Ice is nice. They also have 🍩 from the Salty Donut! So good. #miami #meded

Reflections on the Centennial Miami Hurricanes shared their thoughts about what the University of Miami’s 100-year legacy means to them now and for the future.

The University of Miami celebrated its centennial this week. This article sums up the sentiments of a diverse group of current and former #canes, including some that have remained part of the organization as #medcanes! news.miami.edu/stories/2025... #UM #UMiami #Miami #universityofmiami

Once a #librarian always one! One aspect of this career is finding out about books before they are published like Bat Eater and Other Names for Cora Zheng by Kylie Lee Baker. It’s on my @thestorygraph.com list ‘to read’! #horror #lit #libraries

Then and Now - College of Arts and Sciences A glimpse of classrooms, labs, art studios, and more in the past and present.

A crossword puzzle highlighting the answer “MDPHD” for the clue “physician-scientist’s dual degree”

I knew this answer thanks to 17 years working in #meded #crossword #mdphd

How quickly I forgot lol. It’s Greater Midwest Region (GMR). My excuse is I left there in 2012.

It’s also where I fell in love with #Chicago and have such fond memories of my life there.

The RML did amazing things to bring together communities. We provided our members with valuable instruction & funding for their projects. This is a big loss to the library world and it makes me sad.

I’m especially sad for the people who lost their jobs as of today.

People, the amount of money spent on the RML program is peanuts. This is about censorship and control.

I started my career as a #medlib #medicallibrarian in a regional medical library at the University of Illinois Chicago in 2008. I give thanks to @dalep.bsky.social for encouraging me to apply for the position as technology coordinator for the Great Lakes Region.
