It’s 7am on a Sunday: I’m studying for my GI exam next Friday, I’m down 15lbs, there’s a light new snowfall in Chicago. Life is good

one of the coolest things about ChatGPT is how you can actually just never use it. you can fill your whole entire life with simply not once using it. it's incredible.

I got my first suture kit yesterday. It was so fun and now I’m basically Dr. Meredith Grey. Just give me the diploma already

Had my second day and first real med school lecture today, on the biochemistry of nutrition and health disparities. Interestingly enough, the health disparities portion was mostly about DOGE and Big Ugly Bill affecting communities. This bullshit admin is already affecting my career

Sometimes it feels like the only way to make friends and have connections in the queer community is to be sexually available to people and present in very sexual or alcohol oriented spaces and I struggle to feel confident or comfortable in those environments.

Starting medical school in my 30s is wild because I’m suddenly infantilized as a student again, I’m the ~*WiSeSt*~, and I’m actually just a 23 year old gay boy born in β€˜92 just like my classmates.

In my downtime between quitting my job and waiting to start med school, I’ve gone out more than I have in my life. I think my body is shutting down

I got accepted to medical school today. I’ve spent many years wondering why I didn’t measure up to my peers to get interviews. Finally got an ADHD diagnosis, it all made sense. I can’t wait to be an MD!

NIH director pushes back timeline for RFK Jr.'s autism answers National Institutes of Health Director Dr. Jay Bhattacharya said "it's hard to guarantee when science will make an advance."

RFK Jr. already backing off his Sept. deadline to β€œsolve” autism.

Shockerβ€”you can’t rush science with a rigged plan & magical thinking.

Y’all raised great points yesterday. Let’s break this β€œstudy” down. (🧡)

TL;DR: It’s scientifically flawed, wildly offensive, and a privacy nightmare.

Haven’t gone through the snail mail in a minute and I found an uncashed check yesterday, and today I get a call that I’m being paid for consulting over a year ago. What have I done to deserve such luck??

I can't emphasize enough that the most important thing journalists can do right now is publish exactly this kind of article

SIDNER: Are you okay with your constituents feeling pain as tariffs are put in place?

BYRON DONALDS: You are making an assumption

SIDNER: I'm not making an assumption. Donald Trump himself said there was pain and destruction that was going to happen.

I never listen to podcasts, because they rarely keep my attention, but the @apspublications.bsky.social podcast is so fun an interesting. Currently listening to β€œAdvancing Inclusive Education in Reproductive Physiology”, which discussed sex and gender diversity in physiology education

Looks like even they don’t want to hold Tesla stock. #BoycottTesla

Tesla insiders are cashing out.
- Kimbal Musk (Elon’s brother) – sold $27 million
- James Murdoch (Rupert Murdoch’s son) – sold $13 million
- Robyn Denholm (Board Chair) – sold $75 million
- Vaibhav Taneja (CFO) – sold $5 million
