As a society we are concerned about the recent change in guidance regarding use of rapid antigen tests.

With high community prevalence a positive antigen should be considered a true positive and a system developed to allow the public to report these. 1/3

How’s the insight! Love it. Well worth a read for all. Men and women. Mediocre and excellent.

Feels like a good day to dust off this piece on mediocrity, competence and leadership - in politics and beyond. @bairdjulia

@RodSambakunsi @ScicommTrento Congratulations!!

[Dr. Haley Wahl @hwahl16]

Overwork is glorified in academia. People brag about getting barely any sleep and eating almost nothing and wear it as a badge of honor.

That outlook is so toxic. We should be proud of ourselves for getting 8 hrs of sleep,eating 3 meals,and exercising, not overworking ourselves.

@yolandebouka It’s not you it’s them:) We need to realign academic priorities in global health for impact. Don’t leave!

Well done @seyeabimbola & team for this paper on addressing power asymmetries in global health. https://t.co/1wr6zioC7X

[Bridget Freyne @FreyneBridget]

I was so excited to read this article I joined Twitter. If you are a woman in medicine you are familiar with “benevolent patriarchy”. If your instinct says the help being offered is not actually helpful, listen to your instinct and then call it out. Stronger together. 🙏🏻#nejm
