there’s a kernel of truth here in that most Union soldiers didn’t really care about slavery until they got down to the South and saw it firsthand, at which point they had to be regularly stopped from lynching the Plantation owners

This is great Nigerians already do it

If black people put their children in STEM programs like they do for sports, I firm believe we would be better off in 20 years.

I'm trying it out with my children.

My parents had us in both but I want to see what going all in from 4-14 years old looks like

Ahhh stimmt

I think it’s okay for you to have no opinion on subject matters you have no idea about

You just know a person who has never had to care for a child

[jason . @muzzled_canine]

@joenickys Also like. Children are hard. All of them. And expensive. If you can't budget energy, money and time for a disabled child you probably won't make the same absolutely necessary sacrifices for your healthy child either

@MsPunkyyy @MarthaAhumuza One of the major reasons incest is outlawed and genetic counselling is offered to some couples is to prevent bringing severely disabled children and have them suffer. Are you saying all of this is a waste of time?

[skumm🧊 @skumWgmi]

Just chatted with a guy who has 2 kids, a loving wife, pulls in $350k before bonus, runs 6 miles every morning, owns a 4-bedroom in the West Village, just bought a boat, and is genuinely funny and kind and he still can't find a girlfriend.

Modern dating is so broken.

Super impressive data in cancer cachexia (which causes weight and muscle loss in advanced cancer)

A GDF15/IL6 bispecific antibody increased bodyweight (up to 25% for high dose vs. low dose), muscle mass, and appetite

Patients' main complaint was... gaining too much weight

With all the excitement around daraxonrasib, I needed to refresh my RAS inhibitor knowledge, so here we go:

Presented at #ASCO26:

Among patients with previously treated metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, the RAS(ON) inhibitor daraxonrasib led to significantly longer overall survival and progression-free survival than chemotherapy. Full phase 3 RASolute 302 trial results: https://t.co/xwLWBZYRzq

@CP_Ogamba It’s actually really annoying, the problem is those people don’t speak any of the Nigerian languages and think they all sound the same so they must be dialects

[👽 @dailiea]

This is so ignorant

[мустафа ибрагим, 21 ans 🥀 @patryusha]

500 languages and it's just people from Village A(1) arguing that they're different from Village A(2) because they pronounce 3 whole words (very important figure btw) slightly differently from the other guys.

We really do need more Black physicians tho. We are so underrepresented in medicine it’s crazy. S/O to all those who’ve gone into it so far, but there’s still a lot of catching up to do as far as the number of Black physicians.

[Jeff Anderson M.D. @JeffAnderson_]

The crazy part about this Yale thing is that it just shows folks are going to complain about black people whether they meet the metric or not. It’s sad but not surprising.

Through this whole thing we figured out that Yale admits about 10 black students per year.

We also learned the median GPA and MCAT of black students admitted to Yale was a 3.88 and 518 MCAT. (These are insanely good scores for anyone. )

For those of you that don’t know Median means half have higher half have lower.

Therefore 5 of out of the 10 or 50% had a HIGHER GPA and MCAT than 3.88 and 518. Hopefully the merit crew can all agree without question on their admission.

Now, about the 5 that had lower.
Many would argue as they have in my comments for the last 3 days “these are the people taking Someone else’s spot”

But is that true compared to the data from the rest of the class?

This table here shows the latest available data showing MCAT and GPA of all accepted students at Yale.
It shows that of those accepted 60 had greater than a 518 MCAT and 56 had less than 518. So 52% had above and 48% had below a 518. Remember the split was 50/50 for black students.
This is not a statistically significant difference in entrance standards.

Nearly half of Yale’s entering class that year had an MCAT of less than 518. Only 5 out of the 56 who did were black. The other 51 were white students, Asian students etc. There were 10 students who applied with > 518 who didn’t receive admission. Why is the merit of the 51 from those groups who did get admissions not being called into question. Why is nobody saying that they stole someone else’s seat. Why is it that the merit calculator only comes out when the student is black student whether they reached that 95 percentile mark or not. Why are they only ones being scrutinized?

Thats what I have an issue with.
Either we scrutinize every student that got in below that mark, all 56 of them, or we admit the scrutiny was never really about merit. You have to Pick one.

The reality is the admissions process is about so much more than just MCAT and GPA. If someone writes in your letter of recommendation that you’re the rudest most pompous person they’ve ever come in contact with you’re not going to get in. If you cannot hold a conversation in an interview and you are extremely awkward, you are not going to get in. physicians have to be smart yes but they also should be personable,compassionate, professional , empathetic and if you can’t show that through your letters, your activities, your personal statement, your interview because all you can do well is answer multiple-choice questions you are not going to get in and this goes for everyone black white whatever.

A 528 means nothing if you can’t look a scared patient in the eye and make them feel safe. Admissions committees know that. Patients know that. The only people who don’t seem to know it are the ones counting other people’s scores instead of building their own résumés.
