Dropping my teen off at work shortly. This week they were scheduled for 23 hours, got sent home 2 hours early 2x this week as place was empty

Doesn't matter for them except slightly less thrifting

But this scenario will play hell with people w/ #Medicaid as work requirements are imposed.

The Safety Net Is There for a Reason It is hardly uncommon in certain political circles to hear that people ought to pull themselves up by their bootstraps and learn to thrive through their very own Horatio Alger story. But what's too often left out is that the American safety net - namely, Medicaid, CHIP, SSI, and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) -- are the boots. And in this fallout from historic funding cuts, millions of Americans will now find themselves in even more precarious positions with respect to both their health and economic security.

Medicaid is under attack, despite its importance in helping many of the most vulnerable Americans in some of their hardest times trying to make their lives better

I wish we could get people to understand that there is enough for everybody on this earth if we do right by each other. Like there is plenty bro. More than plenty. We could all be great together, with full bellies and energized minds.

Important new review of ways researchers may be able to understand family #caregiver roles - and the need for more data on this “invisible” labor

My research was possible because of a career development grant from the NIH. The NIH directly and indirectly (via training grants) supported much of the work in this article.

The NIH supports basic science...and it supports research to make sure all of us can benefit from those discoveries.

I’ve spent my entire life working to improve the lives of people who are living in poverty. The need continues to get greater every day. I hope you join me in this drive because days like today make me want to fight harder for our collective humanity. I 💙 you, Medicaid.

Wulf: The 1976 protest that helped define Title IX movement Fed up with the inequalities they faced, 19 members of Yale's women's crew held a protest. That day helped define a moment.

I was a direct beneficiary of Title IX in college sports. Parity in women's sports is so recent that my college coach was coaching at Yale and present for this protest that led to Title IX. I'm sad this thing that gave me opportunity was used to deny the same to others.

I wrote this code to replace the CDC's now-discontinued opioid NDC dataset.

In Sudan, where children clung to life, doctors say USAID cuts have been fatal The Trump administration’s cuts to USAID had an immediate and deadly impact in war-ravaged Sudan, according to civilians, doctors and aid officials.

Please read this @khoureld.bsky.social story about the consequences of USAID cuts.

Children are dying from starvation on the streets of Sudan — and the food that could save them, already paid for by our government, is languishing in U.S. warehouses.

(No paywall)

So much harm planned by this administration and so little effort to stop it.

My HCRIS hospital cost report code + data is updated through 2024! I threw the switch and moved everything to R. The new code lets you pull variables from the alphanumeric file, like hospital names and IDs.
NB: I'm using this data now but pls think of it like beta testing.

A lot of you have been asking how my 10 million beneficial nematodes are doing. Well the answer is that me and my 10 million microscopic sons are doing great! Thanks so much

Turn it on!!

Here Is All the Science at Risk in Trump’s Clash With Harvard (Gift Article) More than 900 research grants worth $2.6 billion are in jeopardy. So is the 80-year-old model of American science.

The NYT put together a comprehensive inforgraphic on lost federal funding for research at Harvard

I leanrned a lot about what my colleagues are doing!

Does it matter when patients don’t speak the same language as their physician, especially in critical situation such as ICU stays? It does! They tend to be admitted longer.

"Getting rid of USAID is a very easy way of winning headlines... But if your one accomplishment in government is to rip funds away from the neediest, so that they can die, so they can be unmedicated, so that they can starve, that is a moral stain that I hope will haunt you 'til the day you die."

I don't even know what to say

Most of my patients have MediCAL (Medicaid in California)
I can’t think of one who’s “not working” who could

Yet even in blue California I have stories about paperwork, online forms, verification, and reenrollment having REAL negative impacts on the lives of the people the program tries to help

Talk about some timely research.

Here's the punchline: "Loss of drug subsidies after Medicaid disenrollment was associated with higher mortality among low-income Medicare beneficiaries."

This is just not true. The majority view among researchers at this point is that work requirements do not work. There is a reason they do not cite a single study here.

I saw you comment on the black box warning once and it stuck in my mind - that's why I always think of you when zofran/qtc comes up!! It would be much more helpful (for me at least) to be attuned to the safety profile of the 4mg dose!
