I don't think people outside of academia understand how much time we actually spend finding citations for things like "happiness is good for you" and "racism is bad."

Publicly shaming an Ivy league school for claiming credit for the success of a women scientist whose work it disrespected and rejected is one of the best uses of community notes I’ve ever seen.

For the first time, a randomized controlled trial has been published regarding gender affirming care. The treatment group receiving care saw a 55% reduction in suicidality, compared to 5% of control. I detail the results in my latest article. Subscribe to support my work.

Let’s talk about Black physicians (5% of all physicians). We have statistically lower MCAT and Step scores. However, Black physicians taking care of Black patients decreases mortality. If we let less Black applicants into medical school, more patients will die. Period.

In case you missed it: Women are less likely to be credited for their scientific contributions than men. It’s true across multiple fields & at all stages, with important repercussions for career progress. #WomenInSTEM #WomenInMedicine #MedTwitter nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

Why don’t more Drs run? Lawyer decides to run, big law firm gets him on payroll ASAP & says their priority is to help him raise $$ & win. Doctor decides to run, has to distance herself from employer, takes months of non-paid time off, job is basically gone after election. 1/

NEW: @HealthNYGov admits that even they don’t know how their proposed ā€œcarveoutā€ would work: ā€œThe road to reimbursement isn’t clearā€ for healthcare providers like us. Ā  It’s time. NY must #CanceltheCarveOut and compromise!Ā newsday.com/news/health/medi…

[1/n] For any aspiring scientists hoping to learn Python šŸ, a great #OpenScience resource is "Python for Neuroscience." They cover everything from the basics of object-oriented programming to machine learning. A 🧵 covering some of my favorite chapters: @PhDVoice @ThePhDPlace

Today, a man fell through my room’s ceiling in my $1500 a month Stanford housing apartment. Stanford refuses to respond for physical and emotional damages. Two thoughts: 1. This is why we need a union 2. This is not what I meant when I sang ā€œIt’s raining men, Hallelujah!ā€ 😭😭😭
