Retired healthcare writer. Science ally. It was a privilege to work with physicians, nurses and other healthcare professionals, and write about their science-based, lifesaving work. Bluesky? Healthcare, books, art, Dad jokes and, of course, cat photos.

I asked mine and it turns out that MMR vaccine from when I was a kid has run out of juice. Booster incoming.
Been there, too.

πJUST A REMINDER: The Biden administration had a sweeping, bipartisan immigration bill that had the backing of Mike Johnson. It was set to go to a vote until Trump ordered Johnson to renege, so he could stoke immigration fear on the campaign trail. "They're eating our dogs and cats."
Fuck the GOP.
