First and last time we ever booked a flight with @porterairlines ! I have never encountered a less compassionate airline staff.

[Rebecca Hamilton, MD MSc @ARL_Hamilton_MD]

Arrived at the airport 80 min before departure and were told by @porterairlines we were too late to check in. Stranded with a crying baby, family in distress, ruined trip and zero willingness to help from the airline. Thank you @WestJet for your kind staff that helped us get home

Stuck in Tampa, apparently there are no pilots and customer service is nowhere to be found. What in the world is going on, #JetBlue ?? /soon-to-be ex-frequent flyer @JetBlue

Excited to share a study on the positive impact educational global health exchanges during clinical training can have on promoting professional development for clinicians.

"If TRIPS is the legal architecture that underpins the ability to extract monopoly rent on a global scale, then by the same token, transnational patent law needs to serve a global public’s interest" #COVAX @JoeBiden @gatesfoundation @gavi

Pausing J&J vaccination is appropriate to get more info.

But also know, this is so far about 6 cases of a rare type of blood clot out of 7M people who got that vaccine. As @US_FDA noted, the background rate of such blood clots is 2 to 14 per million.

Oxygen is a critical lifeline globally that too many lack reliable access to. Our partners @SafeSurgery2020 & @AssistIntl laid the groundwork to provide affordable & reliable medical oxygen to #LMICs - but there is still lots of work to do. @TheEconomist

As #WHA74 draws closer, fantastic viewpoint piece from @keepark @MakelaStankey @gabycahill1 @mcc_craig on how WHA73 resolutions "reflect the need for the continued development of surgical systems as part of robust health systems in achieving universal health coverage."

My new favorite explanatory model for #life in general and #science in particular. Happy #Friday! 👌😅

Great thread on the new findings from CDC on how to mask most effectively -- especially against the new, more contagious variants.

@pwolodarski Watch 'The plot against America'! 👌

[ACLU @ACLU]

The forced hysterectomies of immigrants is violent, grotesque, and clearly unconstitutional. Once again, ICE reminds us that it has total disregard for the health, safety, and dignity of detained people.

What an incredible milestone and achievement! 👏💫🎊 #VaccinesWork #PolioFree #together @WHO

[WHO African Region @WHOAFRO]

Today, the @WHO African Region celebrates the eradication of wild #polio! Reaching every last child with the polio vaccine has meant extraordinary courage, determination & a truly collective effort.

Watch how Africa kicked out wild polio: https://t.co/WBc5ipql7L #poliofree

So I was talking with my mom about #DefundThePolice. And she asked me a question: how could what happened to Rayshard Brooks happen, at this moment, in this uprising? How could police keep...doing this?

So this is what I said.

Here's the sad reality: what happened to George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery & Christian Cooper has gone on for generations to Black Americans. Cell phones just made it more visible.

Dismantling systemic racism in our nation starts with demanding justice & holding offenders accountable.
