"Perhaps you'll have a modestly scaled career: good but not famous. But you will do work that allows you to live with yourself. That's the bigger dream. To do work that doesn't do violence to what is human in you." (3/3) Just want everyone I know to internalize this...

@EricBoodman traveled to Virginia to learn how a conservative, gun-toting doctor defended abortion access in Appalachia. https://t.co/8wP5oWUuRz

"My friend Lee Caggiano, who died several weeks ago, was not famous," @JohnGHendy writes. "But through her work, she changed one particular corner of the world: Lee made people who stutter, like me, want to talk." https://t.co/6LAWVjU1Rh

I talked to the incredible @EloraHC71 @drbhatpsych & twitterless Dr. Rochana Majumdar about pervasive mental health stigmas & long-standing taboos in South Asian communities, all of which they describe as the "deep-state of the South Asian diaspora" -- https://t.co/embD10skus

I've reported on the Harvard presidency for nearly a year @TheCrimson. This piece is my exploration of a question about the storied job's past — a question about liberalism, history, & Harvard's complex attitude toward a shifting American public. (1/8)

This year it's not Covid that colleges and universities are necessarily preparing for. It's monkeypox. From @statnews and @akila29m https://t.co/AqFnnytQmR

I wrote about Sania Khan's murder and the pressure South Asian women face to keep quiet and endure abuse because if we leave “what will people think." I spoke with survivors who told me they can see themselves in Sania and the message she spread on TikTok.

Pretty much everyone would like the name #monkeypox changed. Achieving that end is tricker than you would think. https://t.co/yGknw8Z8cD

Thanks to everyone @ Freedom House 2.0, esp Tashina Hosey and to @rpcrowe, @jrudmanmd, @DouglasRandell, @AnjniJoiner, @AndraMF, @BenWWeston, @CashRebeccaE, @MattEdwardsMD among others for the help. And of course thanks to @GideonGil for shaping the piece with meticulous edits!

Following in the footsteps of the nation's pioneering, mostly Black ambulance service from the 1970s, a program called Freedom House 2.0 aims to diversify #EMS. But 29 of the first 30 grads chose not to pursue the profession. Some of their challenges: https://t.co/pXzrXmWdev

[Akila V Muthukumar @akila29m]

When the race of EMS crews doesn’t match the population they serve, inequities in care proliferate. Read how low pay, long hours, unspoken fraternity that makes the job feel like an 'old boys club' can all fail providers and patients.
