"We need to ask ourselves, what are the consequences of grouping together bi-racial or #multiracial individuals into a single homogenous category or of ascribing them to a single crude racial category?" - A pleasure working with @JenniYoungPhD #bioethics https://t.co/cbRuXneaVH

New guidelines from @CDCgov for fully vaccinated people!

If you’ve been fully vaccinated:
- You can gather indoors with fully vaccinated people without wearing a mask.
- You can gather indoors with unvaccinated people from one other household.

Let’s set the record straight. The health care workers taking pics and posting/tweeting about receiving their vaccine aren’t bragging and being boastful about being first. We’re saying we trust science. We’re grateful for the glimmer of hope in this pandemic, 1/x

[John Stulak @JohnStulakMD]

For those in the #ERAS2021 process, uncertain times can breed self-doubt. Please include these in your daily routine (APA):

1. Celebrate your accomplishments
2. Be kind to yourself (and others)
3. Ask for support if needed
4. Explore your hobbies more
5. Self-care

/we see substantial risk that current approaches to #globalhealth may never yield a structural tipping point/

Interesting move by ENT residency programs to allow students to send “signals” of interest to their top five programs. Will other specialties follow suit?
