Segregation at Southern schools of pharmacy is more recent than most people think. In my last and most meaningful paper from my time at the UNC, my co-authors and I interviewed the first African American students to attend the UNC School of Pharmacy: https://t.co/t0gA7oFrfG

Their powerful stories of desegregation help the profession understand its past and resonate with students' experiences today. Big thanks to Christian Brown for leading the interviews, Greg Bond for guiding the history, and Carla White for adding current DE&I context.

@DrugChannels @ShotsWithThat That implies the interchangeability concerns ever had a meaningful scientific foundation…

I wish as academics we could focus on producing evidence and not waste time reformatting. I am glad this has now been quantified. But I would like to think these may reflect a lower bound on the true cost as there is an extensive margin as well.

I have a whole trail of perfectly fine and IMO important papers that I just cant bother to reformat to submit. It should not be that way. Its all just data, code and well, a bit of thinking.

If you don't use citation software but need to resubmit to a journal with another format, you have to convert all references by hand, right??

Nope. ChatGPT just perfectly converted my AMA reference list to APA in 30 seconds. The robot overlords have given me my life back. 🤯🤯🤯

@JessePharmD They certainly could have

Help me, #TwitteRx. If you get a script for a 453g tub of a topical steroid cream with a sig of “Apply Twice a Day for 7 Days”, what days supply would you put on the script?

And nine, nine indictments were gifted to the race of men, who above all else desire power. But they were, all of them, deceived, for another indictment was made.

[Ben Urick @BenUrick]

@pilkhawk It’s been a while since I’ve practiced, but it seems wrong to ask us to pay cash because the prescription was entered for a 16 days supply for 160g when the sig said 7 days for the tub???

[Ben Urick @BenUrick]

@pilkhawk Didn’t have a tub so filled 2 80g tubes and went back for the rest, now it’s a refill too soon error since the original 160g were filled for a 16 days supply.

[Ben Urick @BenUrick]

For that matter, I don’t think Tumble Bumble would end well, either

[Ben Urick @BenUrick]

I’m not sure the Florida version of Goldilocks and the Three Bears would end well for Goldilocks #BreakingAndEntering #StandYourGround
