legal asylum seekers, from Guinea, who were on their way to collect a passport for their ONE MONTH OLD INFANT CHILD.

Global buzzwords that will be buzzing in your ear in 2026 Will it be a year of "fractured resilience"? Or "pragmatic empathy"? Will "MOUs" be the next global health strategy? Are we in a new age of "decolonization" — or of "localization"?

It's pretty cool to be quoted in this @npr.org story along with my wonderful @dukeghi.bsky.social colleagues, Dr. Chris Beyrer and Dr. Nishad Jayasundara!! Check it out!

I have actually tried. I do ok until I mess up a stitch, then cannot for the life of me figure out how to go backwards and fix it. I think it's some kind of cognitive block I have. I am really good at a lot of things, but this is not one of them!! 🫣

I'm finishing up a few last revisions to a manuscript I started writing in 2019. It usually does not take me long to prep and submit a paper. This one was more complicated, I guess. But, I am ready to submit it (!!) and I hope it will be published......

Pathology result is in: Endometrial intraepithelial neoplasia. Precancerous. High risk of progression. The most common gyne cancer in N America. The definitive treatment is hysterectomy.

So thankful for the medical care I’ve received.

Women, if you bleed post-menopause seek medical attention.

Behind her in green is her famous pulsar dataset like a series of horizontal parallel lines, each with an irregular peak in the middle, resembling a mountain range on a topographical map.

It is grossly irresponsible for the head of ACIP to make a claim there are 4X as many birth defects following COVID vaccine. That’s a LIE. There have been at least 4 large studies in US, Germany, and Scandinavian countries showing no increase in birth anomalies following 1st trimester vaccines. 🤬
