When I asked how the night went you gave the tiniest of shrugs.

You: “I’m making it.”
Me: “What does that mean?”
You: *shrugs again*

You turned in bed a bit and I saw you grimace. It was fleeting but I saw it.

You were not okay.

Northwestern has not received any NIH funds since March. No written communication about why or what can be done. Thank you Ben Singer for raising awareness at #ATS2025

He is lacking in his posts… and activity. We need to change this immediately

Getting excited about the selection of a nice Pope really says something about how low our collective expectations bar has dropped.

Agree with all of these. Thankfully @apccmpd.bsky.social and @accpchest.bsky.social have established footholds here.

Now I have kids and my mom hands know every time someone’s forehead is septic. 🤣🤣🤣🤒🥵🌡️🌡️
