Happy World Pharmacist Day! #APhM2025

Immediately after, I had to recollect myself. I felt utterly embarrassed and disqualified to even be preaching on the subject. I then pondered on my own statements. To err is human. We are not perfect, and learning from our mistakes to prevent them n the future is the name of the game. 3/3

First, she requested my presentation by email. Second, she notified me of an error in my slides where I was reviewing different volumes that a tick mark represents depending on total syringe volumes. My heart literally sank to my stomach. 2/3

To err is human - that statement is humbling more than ever. I presented at my state pharmacy association about pediatric medication safety and error prevention. Afterwards, an attendee had come up to me with valuable feedback. 1/3

Charlie Kirk is now his own statistic and justification for what he believed. It is okay not to feel compassion for someone who made a career of not showing it to others and even contributing to other people's pain. We need tangible change to make society better and safer for everyone. 5/5

This happened in a world that Charlie Kirk helped to create, and I, for one, dont like living in it (either should you). I also refuse to force empathy for someone who was so cruel to other people. 4/?

We need common sense gun laws now more than ever. Both sides of the aisle have felt the outcomes of gun violence, and remaining complacent is not an option. Thoughts and prayers are not working and never have. Those affected by gun violence bleed the same, including Charlie Kirk. 3/?

He was a vile opportunist that ironically died in a way that his views projected. He stated that losing lives with simply the cost for upholding the 2nd amendment. In my perspective, any more than zero violence or loss of life from guns is too much. No one benefits from his viewpoint. 2/?

Charlie Kirk is dead - a thread. I hold no happiness or sorrow. Rather, I am upset about the level of unnecessary gun violence and that it is the number one cause of death in young children. I am upset that people like Charlie Kirk glorify guns over children's lives. 1/?

The Alaska State Board just motioned to put forth regulations restricting evidence-based gender affirming care and late-term abortions. This is 100% a political move and doesn't align with nationally recognized guidelines and organizations. 30-day comment period coming up. Get ready.

Between RFK decimating the CDC, normalizing Ashli Babbitt & the umpteenth school shooting... I'm losing the will to post.

I can't celebrate the crumbs when they took the loaf. Might just toss the plate.

I love how The Road is capitalized. I am from Alaska and know what that means! So cool 😎 thanks for sharing!

Thanks for sharing!

I’m a physician who has looked at hundreds of studies of vaccine safety, and here’s some of what RFK Jr. gets wrong The health secretary has made many inaccurate statements about vaccines. But the science is clear that vaccines have dramatically reduced childhood illness, disability and death.

Dr. Jake Scott's rebuttal of recent claims by RFK Jr on vaccine safety and conflicts of interest. "I’m a physician who has looked at hundreds of studies of vaccine safety, and here’s some of what RFK Jr. gets wrong." theconversation.com/im-a-physici...

Please contact your senators and tell them to vote no on "Big, Beautiful Bill," especially if you live in Alaska. Contact Senator Dan Sullivan and Lisa Murkowski. We can not afford the consequences of this bill and the slash to Medicaid, which will force closure to ALHs and rural hospitals.

🚨Download CDC immunization schedules🚨 RFK Jr. just dismantled the Advisory Committee of Immunization Practices (ACIP). Removed all 17 of them with the intention to replace in the name of "public trust." Evidence doesn't change just because the president or secretary of HHS does.

Oh, no! Elon Musk and Donald Trump broke up during Pride month 🥲

JunoCam captured this image from very close to Jupiter, making Ganymede’s shadow appear especially large. At the time the raw image was taken, the Juno spacecraft was about 44,000 miles (71,000 kilometers) above Jupiter’s cloud tops and 15 times closer to the planet than Ganymede. An observer at Jupiter’s cloud tops within the oval shadow would experience a total eclipse of the Sun. Total eclipses are more common on Jupiter than Earth for several reasons: Jupiter has four major moons (Ganymede, Io, Callisto, and Europa) that often pass between Jupiter and the Sun, and since Jupiter’s moons orbit in a plane close to Jupiter’s orbital plane, the moon shadows are often cast upon the planet. Jupiter’s bands and clouds are visible, making stripes across the planet in various colors of white, orange, and blue on the poles.

if the budget cuts go through for nasa, we’re losing juno, which has given us these gorgeous images of jupiter over the years

Updates from CDC regarding measles cases across the US... 67% in ages <19yo, 12% constitued hospitalization, and 3 deaths in 2025. Exponential increase over the past couple of years. Please promote vaccination with MMR! #measles #infectiousdisease

How is everyone on BlueSky doing? Tell me one good thing about your week! 💓 #pharmacy

I really hope pharmacy classes are not reciting an addended Oath of the Pharmacist because our large organizations mold to misguided political propaganda surrounding DEI.

I'd rather choke on greatness than nibble on mediocrity.
