Huh, that story sounds pretty familiar

Cover of A Memory Called Empire, by Arkady Martine

Been way too busy with classes and tutoring, but trying to make some time to read again. Checked out A Memory Called Empire the other day and I'm glad I did. Off to a great start so far

Service is the truest measure of patriotism. On Veterans Day, we honor all who have taken the oath and worn the uniform - and our nation recommits to keeping its promises to every veteran who served our country.

Beauty of a win at the garden

Empire State Building rising over Manhattan, lit up in blue

Greatest city in the world

Back to watching the isles (think it's safe to say their loss last game broke my curse) and what a rollercoaster of an opening minute and a half

Founding dean of my school came for a brief talk today and, while explaining how he got into medicine to avoid being sent to Vietnam, casually dropped that he was part of the team that discovered cisplatin. Med school has some crazy stories

Update!
Islanders record in games I watch: 0-3
Islanders record in games I don't watch: 4-0

Promises made, promises kept #isles

0-3 when I watch and 2-0 when I don't, I think I might be the issue here. Guess I have to take one for the team and just watch highlights

#NoKings from California to the New York island

Lots of people, lots of signs, and even a few inflatable animal suits

Beautiful day to say #NoKings in front of the county courthouse

There was a presentation today at the @asgct.bsky.social conference about in vivo monocyte reprogramming (for less side effects than CAR-T) via mRNA in IV lipid nanoparticles and, it's very preliminary work, but it's hard not to get excited about this (and all the other incredible projects)

The call on Palms leading up to that was awful, geez. Game's not looking too hot now

Inside a Canadian professor's 43-year-old Dungeons & Dragons campaign Robert Wardaugh's Dungeons & Dragons campaign has been running since 1982. Here we take a look at this remarkable game and ask what has been keeping this party playing together for so long?

I read about a group running a DnD campaign for 43+ years and, man, I can't get over how insane (and amazing) that is

Plastic model of the base of a skull

Did my med school buddies and I stop and go through all the cranial nerve foramina when there was an open skull on the side of the path at Six Flags for Fright Fest? Yes, yes we did

Screenshot of banner on CDC website that reads: The Trump Administration is working to reopen the government for the American people. Mission-critical activities of CDC will continue during the Democrat-led government shutdown. Certain federal government activities have ceased due to a lack of appropriated funding. During the government shutdown, only web sites supporting excepted functions will be updated. As a result, the information on this website may not be up to date and the agency may not be able to respond to inquiries.

Reading a CDC article for class and this popped up at the top. Excuse me?!

When can I start getting worried about picking up where we left off last season with OT losses?

Heard the updated goal song on WRHU's pregame intro and man, I like this energy #isles

My course director is making three Connections games each week related to lecture content for this unit (which is fairly heavy on heme onc) and I'm having a little more fun than I should with it

I told my pharmacist and he paid me for my prescription. So thankful for Trump keeping his promise on lowering medication costs by 600+%

Great article on the current state of cancer immunotherapy research. Lots of great progress and lots of promise, but still plenty more to be discovered/developed (and a need for NIH funding to support that research!)

Between this and his "too much liquid... at too big a number," I want to laugh but then I remember his secretary of health and pathogen services is fully on board
Very glad I live in a blue state, though, and a big fan of the Northeast Public Health Collaborative

Sign of things to come?

Man, we could've had a shot at hemispheric free trade and the TPP with Hillary. Instead we're getting left out because of small dick Don and his tariffs
