With Raz Segal at the UPenn encampment on April 26. Warm and open conversation about the perils of antisemitism and of its current weaponization.

@lukasronnerMD A big part of what people like is what they did. But those of us who’ve done both q4 and night float tend to agree with you! And I did q3 call and still preferred that to night float!

@archives_Rx @markdboonie More than a few early seventeenth-century economic writers had M name - Misselden, Mun, Malynes. Might be cool, for a Maine Coon? Is it ever said that they grow into their ears, the way a dog grows into big paws?

[Mike Neuss @Rochalimaea]

@archives_Rx @markdboonie Interesting/sweet coincidence - we adopted a cat ~14 years ago from a couple who named every cat they fostered with an M name! Ours was Memphis. Very loving and affectionate, also very proficient at murder.

@AdamRodmanMD To what extent do you think 1) many people over-document and 2) these kinds of complaints are proxy for the reality that work is work, and people don’t always love every aspect of their jobs? (I’m being purposefully provocative and simplistic, btw)

I should add that I think this is pervasive and not a specific issue, but one to ponder generally as work that should be bold and ambitious becomes more precarious.

It's truly remarkable that she persevered at Penn despite (apparently) having such poor support. What does it say about the institution that is now celebrating her, that she never had stability here? What does it say about how we support science?

[The Nobel Prize @NobelPrize]

“Ten years ago I was kicked out and forced to retire.”

Our new medicine laureate Katalin Karikó (@kkariko) told us how much it means to be awarded the Nobel Prize after a scientific career that has been full of challenges.

Ten years ago, Karikó was still doing all her experiments by hand but today she has been awarded the medicine prize for her research on mRNA, which led to the development of COVID-19 vaccines.

"But for many years her career at the University of Pennsylvania was fragile. She migrated from lab to lab, relying on one senior scientist after another to take her in. She never made more than $60,000 a year." from NY Times.

MY BLOOD DONATION
GET THIS....before today, IF my mom or daughter (who have the same blood type) ever needed blood, I could NOT give it to them! But today, I can! 40+ yr ban on gay/bi men has been lifted. See the story tonight @ 5:30 on @6abc. @RedCross @RedCrossPhilly @US_FDA

@keithdorejel It’s often endearing, I think?

Can’t say this is surprising - the bias towards the wealthy in Ivy League admissions.

Such a cool bit of trivia!

[Dr. Colleen Shogan @AOTUS11_Shogan]

Employees often use tricycles to retrieve records at the National Archives and Records Administration facility in Valmeyer, Illinois. Located inside a cave, the facility holds up to 2.4 million cubic feet of records.
