I'm on the inpatient oncology service this week @YaleCancer@SmilowCancer. I ♥️ this time of year with new @YaleMed interns! I'm feeling energized, inspired and a bit nostalgic about my own intern year (22 years ago!!).

Our latest study on why children under five in Kampala's informal settlements are still dying despite living in close proximity to nearby health facilities. Researchers @BlasiniAmy @waiswap@phillwdru @MakerereU @CherylMoyer10@UMichMedicine See details: https://t.co/HJJTrLYzd1
I want to know their names, who and what they loved, the people they had waiting for them at home, everything they hoped for. I want to know the fabric of their days and the contexts of their lives.
Kudos to @BlasiniAmy for a fabulous poster reflecting her time as one of our @NPGHFellows in #Kampala working with @waiswap and his team @MakSPH ! If you are at #CUGH2021 check it out: https://t.co/ETG2AvfPSP
BIPOC docs and allies are speaking up in support of Dr Dennar. Please add your support here- it's vital we show Tulane and ACGME that we are not backing down from this latest insult to our community.

Just angry and sad. I stand with #DrDennar. She is a nationally respected academic physician, Med-peds program director, and leader in the fight against racism. She is a fierce advocate for her patients, community, and her residents.
For those following #DNRTulane and have been asking about her #gofundme...this is the one that SHE set up: https://t.co/rrrosysUS5. Please share this link and not other ones. #medtwitter#meded
We vehemently oppose the removal of #DrDennar from her position as program director at Tulane. This is retaliation in its truest form and an effort to silence black voices. (3/x) #DNRTulane

Did you know that at 3 mo, babies look more at faces that match the race of their caregivers? That children as young as 2 use race to make sense of people’s behaviors? That by 30 months, most children use race to choose playmates? 🧵

Residency Interview, Circa 1995
Him: “You say here in your #PERSONALSTATEMENT ‘Research is the linchpin of a thriving academic medical center.’”
Me: *smug smile*
Him: “Tell me what you meant by that.”
Me: 😳
Rut roh.
Real talk? I just wanted to use the word “linchpin.”

The White House attacks on Dr. Fauci are unfair and dangerous. He's been right on #COVID19 far more than the politicians who blame him. During pandemics, science is your guide-even if it's politically inconvenient. Covid is surging. We need to hear more from scientists, not less.
