[Colin Wang @colingwang]

A week late, but so appreciative for the opportunity to talk about connecting patients to public benefits at #PAS2022 and to learn about the amazing pediatric research going on!

Especially big thanks for the support from faculty and the friends who joined me in exploration! :)

[V W (She/Hers) @DrV_NeoMD]

@colingwang 1 - You are not "just" medical students

2- We are better faculty because of you. (I appreciate how much my students & trainees have pushed me to do better.)

[Colin Wang @colingwang]

Your #microaggressions workshop was so fun to be a part of!

I feel so appreciative that even though we are just medical students, physicians take stock in what we have to say towards creating a safe and empoweing learning environment.

[V W (She/Hers) @DrV_NeoMD]

I feel SO blessed by how my @dgsomucla med students continue to support me!

Thank you @hollykthuang, @colingwang, & @juheemed for attending our #microaggressions workshop.

Your honest input helps us improve as faculty advocates for our students.

This is a good point.

When anti-vaxxers cite their freedoms, constitutional rights, and–the whitest thing of all–the Founding Fathers to rail against vaccine mandates, do they know what they're talking about?

What if I told you this happens EXACTLY every 100 years?

A thread.

[The New York Times @nytimes]

Last fall, universities across the U.S. were accused of enabling the pandemic’s spread by bringing students back to campus. But the University of California, Davis, has quietly spent the past six months making a bubble that encompasses the entire city.

1/ A thread of things I will read & re-read this weekend, thinking thru the production of the viral underclass w newly published research & who we should reading to understand.

1st the big Purdue story, in which McKinsey made this slide (h/t @AnandWrite) https://t.co/VUo0FWr89h

[Colin Wang @colingwang]

We cannot keep criminalizing the victims of #BigPharma, who egregiously "exploited, profited, and even targeted this vulnerability" of addiction.

@ZachWritesStuff's phenomenal piece on addiction and pharmaceuticals in America

[Colin Wang @colingwang]

McKinsey wanted Purdue Pharmaceuticals, the company responsible for the 450k+ opioid deaths, to "aggressively market Oxycontin" peak crisis and REWARD COMPANIES $14,810 FOR EACH OVERDOSE to drive up sales.

CORPORATE MORAL BANKRUPTCY FOR BLOOD MONEY.
