A screenshot of a Reuters article stating that the US FDA suspended milk quality test workforce cuts.

Previous to the FDA, folks would put chalk and plaster of Paris in milk to make it appear white. They could also add formaldehyde to cover the smell and taste of spoiled milk.

Excerpt from Rutgers University Senate resolution calling for a Mutual Academic Defense Compact. The excerpt reads: "BE IT RESOLVED THAT, the Rutgers University Senate urges the President of Rutgers University to formally propose and help establish a Mutual Academic Defense Compact (MADC) among all members of the Big Ten Academic Alliance; BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT, under this compact, all participating institutions shall commit meaningful funding to a shared or distributed defense fund. This fund shall be used to provide immediate and strategic support to any member institution under direct political or legal infringement;"

This exciting resolution from Rutgers University Senate is exactly the kind of model I think higher ed needs: a mutual defense pact of, in this case, Big 10 schools. They call for member institutions to create a joint defense fund and make resources available to any member institution under attack.

Worth pointing out most applicants for ns, plastics, derm, ortho, and ent are often taking 1 or more gap years.

Also 10-25% of this research stuff is from before med school.

The replies to Brian Thompson’s last post on LinkedIn — all from before the shooting — are a horror show

Not sure where I called him a charlatan.

The dems have many spokespeople what we need is a fighter as our leader. We need Huey Long and FDR. We need folks committed more to Americans than the institutions that have repeatedly failed Americans.

Buttigieg is a politician through and through, and his ambition is naked.

He’s a great communicator but I don’t think he really grapples with the deeper failures of the Dem party.

I don’t hate the fact that a public defender is going to be in charge of the FBI, but it’s sad that he such a diehard Trump loyalist.

This is a very real problem btw.

Women in medicine are far more likely to experience intense loneliness.

I hate having empathy sometimes.

Like it’s part of what makes us human but goddamn why does the left tail of the bell curve have to be so thick.

Depends on how much the courts accept the use of impoundment.

Maybe that is also part of masking. I’m not sure if masking is just replicating the behavior of others or just also trying to avoid drawing attention to yourself.

Not just masking. Often, it’s just not talking as much as others. Sometimes, I assume folks are just introverted like me sometimes.

Yes. Community notes is the only thing that’s a genuine improvement from the past.

I think sometimes it’s hard to tell that people are neurodivergent unless you are know them well.

I’m deep fried.

I’m so excited I have a lecture to watch on this very topic soon.

He’s an accomplished surgeon. Shame he made a TV show grifting and now grifted all the way up to CMS. He could’ve saved so many more lives.
