@wsvtc I don’t want to hear what I can read in a banner. You guys are programming idiots

Academic docs who actually want to do research are getting squeezed HARD.
The system says it values discovery.
The paychecks say: “More RVUs, less thinking.”
Let’s talk about the quiet collapse of the research track in medicine.

Can’t speak about this particular instance, but my general view of the wellness/influencer industry
1. Buy what you can in bulk, at low-cost, anti-parasitics are a good example
2. Repackage and hike up the price
3. Bilk consumers by pairing it with an expensive telehealth visit

Seems like a good day to remind ourselves that belief starts inside. In this clip from the hit series Ted Lasso, he gives an inspirational talk about hope (what I call the H.O.F.). And getting out of our own way. And dealing with old wounds & emotions that hinder our performance.

Of course that’s your contention. You think in vitro physiology is completely recapitulated in vivo.
You vaguely remember pH from high school chemistry but never got to the homeostatic dyad of the lungs & kidneys so you blame patients with cancer for not guzzling alkaline water.

To celebrate @CarolynBertozzi being awarded the #Nobleprize2022 (and being the first openly LGBTQIA+ recipient of the #ChemNobel), I've compiled a list of #CarolynQuotes from her last grad-level ChemBio course @UCB_Chemistry that I had the pleasure of taking!

BREAKING NEWS:
The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 2022 #NobelPrize in Chemistry to Carolyn R. Bertozzi, Morten Meldal and K. Barry Sharpless “for the development of click chemistry and bioorthogonal chemistry.”
Congrats to a visionary scientist whom I had the honor of meeting in undergrad studying glycobiology. Haven’t met many Nobel winners, but all have been down to earth, authentic and inspiring. Nice to see that such qualities are shared amongst our best scientists @CarolynBertozzi
“I’m the same person I was at 1 a.m., but I’m realizing that my voice now has a platform, and I’m thinking about how to use that.” -@CarolynBertozzi, winner of the 2022 #NobelPrize in chemistry

Remembering Glenn Gould, born on this day in 1932 in Toronto. Here he is performing Bach's Partita #2 at his cottage in Uptergrove, Ontario in the 1958 documentary film “Off the Record.”

Our paper is out in @Nature! Extrachromosomal DNA molecules huddle together in cancer cells to activate oncogene expression (which we call ecDNA hubs). A great collaboration with @KatieEYost, @HowardYChang, @549nm, Zhe Liu, and others. (1/10) nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

Never give up on your dream, even if* you’re playing xylophone in the band and want to ask out the gorgeous girl from the dance team who is also in your biology class and insanely nice to you even if you have no game or fashion sense
*hypothetically
Happy anniversary, darling
