Bravo!

Thank you to the news outlets & substacks offering guest links. It is no doubt a financial hit. Yet, freedom of the press relies on Americans' uninhibited access to accurate information. For years I've grown frustrated that accurate, thorough, contextual info readers need is hidden behind paywalls.

US science is under threat ― now scientists are fighting back Researchers are organizing protests and making their voices heard as Trump officials slash funding and lay off federal scientists.

Thanks to @nature.com for featuring Stand Up for Science! ☀️🧬🧪

Candidly payment models and redistribution is not my area of expertise, but AhealthcareZ on YouTube has been informative in breaking down hospital payment models & revenue generation.

Well done, sir. The DIY appendectomy line struck me. How sad to see the nation’s infamous newspaper place parameters on free speech. Let’s not mistake this decision as strategic (at least not for the paper). It’s more a band-aid to patch a hemorrhage, and a way to appease subscribers who stayed.

Thanks for maintaining the open lines of communication. Will there be a livestream?

There’s a New Time Magazine Trump Cover Controversy. This Time Around, I Have a Radical Suggestion. — Slate Yes, Trump will probably hate the cover.

Reading my daily news feed recently has been like: 😳😱😬🤯😠🥴🤦🏼‍♀️ so I appreciated this article from @davidmackau.bsky.social. The essence: we need #journalism (and to support journalism) that actively interrogates what’s happening

This work is so important. Thank you for doing what you’re doing and educating the public.

That was the most poignant quote of the whole article. 😔

infographic of a football field that provides three statistics about American football fans' perceptions of heart attacks. Stat 1 says 37% are worried about having a heart attack in the next year. Stat 2 says 75% would want to know their risk of a heart attack in the next year. Stat 3 says 28% would hesitate to leave a professional sporting event to go to the hospital if they suspected they were having a heart attack.

A new survey from Siemens Healthineers and YouGov reveals Americans are worried about heart attacks, but their devout football fandom may pose a greater risk to their heart health. 🏈 Read the release here: www.siemens-healthineers.com/en-us/press-... #hearthealth #cardiology #playoffs

I agree. It’s nice to not have others dictating what I see … and trying to convince me they know my interests better.

Provider of witty wisdom?

I thought the same thing when I signed up. Yet I refuse to give up on BlueSky because I loved Twitter so much for connecting with journalists.

Ever been the first person to show up at a #networking event and then have to stand around awkwardly waiting for people to arrive? 👀 That’s about how I feel diving into BlueSky. Shall I start with a fun fact? Flipping the Bird was one of my favorite podcast series. Maybe check it out sometime. 🤭
