If anyone is in need of an amazingly talented freelance writer (and genuinely awesome human) for topics on travel, mental health, business, and more, my dear friend @kvandraiss is launching her full-time freelance business! Check her out:

[UT MD Anderson @UTMDAnderson]

The safety and protection of our immunocompromised patients, our workforce and our community remain our greatest priorities. MD Anderson will continue to require the wearing of medical-grade masks while at any of our campuses. 1/2

Due for a mammogram and other diagnostic imaging test? How our Dr. Jessica Leung recommends timing these with COVID-19 vaccination: https://t.co/JZk1A7Ak2x @DrJessicaLeung #COVIDvaccine #EndCancer

[Lina Hidalgo @LinaHidalgoTX]

Harris County residents. Texans. Please keep wearing your mask and avoiding gatherings. This is all on us now.

[Eric Berger @SpaceCityWX]

It's all apparently a misunderstanding. When the Texans announced they were shedding JJ Watt's contract, ERCOT heard that "Texans need to shed watts."

Houston looks a little different this morning, but I kinda love it ❄️

“With the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, it is more important than ever to remind everyone that cancer does not stop and neither will we,” says MD Anderson president Dr. Peter WT Pisters: https://t.co/iXAljW8VZV @ppisters @uicc #WorldCancerDay #IAmIWill #EndCancer

@acsifferlin Always do your homework before interviewing a scientist/doctor to learn the science & terminology, even at a basic level. Health/science can be highly technical & esoteric, but having some frame of reference will help you form better questions.

I've wanted to write about #synesthesia for a long time, so I'm excited to see my story published in @DiscoverMag! Check it out: https://t.co/hSZc9fH2Fi

[Lina Hidalgo @LinaHidalgoTX]

Harris County is bigger than the state of Rhode Island, and we're supposed to have 1 site? This isn't security, it's suppression. Mail ballot voters shouldn't have to drive 30 miles to drop off their ballot, or rely on a mail system that’s facing cutbacks. https://t.co/IeKwzdB0Hb

[Chris Hollins @CGHollins]

Let Texans vote, @GovAbbott.

We are in a pandemic. Seniors and Texans with disabilities should be allowed to cast their ballots safely and securely. Don’t make them choose between their lives and their right to vote.

Please RT.

This debate is cringeworthy.

[Northwestern Medill @MedillSchool]

We are excited to announce that Charles Whitaker has been named dean of Medill. A longtime faculty member and Medill alumnus, Whitaker has been serving as interim dean for the past year. #MyMedillStory https://t.co/hsvx79d4TW

[Texas Medical Center @TXMedCenter]

Decades of singing came to an abrupt halt for #Houston's Otis Wimberly in 2008 when his #heart failed. Thanks to an organ donation, the gospel performer has received a #transplant and will be singing again at this year’s @jazzfest on April 25. @Texas_Heart

A Texas scientist was called "foolish" for arguing the immune system could fight cancer. Then he won the Nobel Prize. https://t.co/gBgrkdTvSO

[FBI Houston @FBIHouston]

In an unprecedented partnership, #FBI Houston and @TXMedCenter solidify their commitment to safeguard the largest medical complex in the world and its 100,000+ employees by colocating investigators with the Texas Med Center PD. #HOUNEWS @HoustonTX

[Texas Medical Center @TXMedCenter]

Officer John Barnes confronted the Santa Fe High School shooter on May 18, 2018 during a massacre that killed 10 people & wounded 13. Read about the @houstonpolice veteran's survival of critical injuries & about the #Texas medical professionals who saved him. @utmbnews #SantaFe

[Texas Medical Center @TXMedCenter]

For the first time in U.S. history, people are more likely to die from accidental #opioid overdoses than in car crashes, according to a new report by the National Safety Council (@NSCsafety).
