"The 10 highest-paid [healthcare] CEOs... made a combined $1.4 billion, or about a third of the total studied. That amount is roughly what the National Institutes of Health spends annually to study drug abuse and addiction." -STAT+ https://t.co/Y7GNtiX2Tl

The number of people I meet who lament about the horrors of food waste while regularly gorging themselves on CAFO burgers and wings is absolutely staggering. No food is inherently more wasteful than factory farmed meat. Please retweet if you agree. https://t.co/ltgNW4CcRi

@kaptinMD @Nursing_Heretic @JazmynShaw1 But, as @AlanPlotzker noted, controlled trials had been done (https://t.co/VCSTKrsmBY) prior to this program being implemented. Since those results were positive (and patients actually reported greater satisfaction with NPs), wouldn't this be a case of following the science?

@AlanPlotzker @TNFa15 @StevenBradleyMD @tessajoliver @JazmynShaw1 Speculation and jumping to conclusions is a disservice to those who stand to be harmed, especially when, as in this case, the alternative is that the practice being questioned might actually be benefitting that same group.

@slidingblade @TAMU_Coastal @ReynoldsNerd @ConserveChange (2) in many places, public transportation and access to campus during the pandemic have been restricted and many people are not particularly comfortable with either, even if they are permitted to use them

@slidingblade @TAMU_Coastal @ReynoldsNerd @ConserveChange (1) Many universities, like the one where I work, have international students (or even domestic students that live on the other side of the country) that have not been able to return to campus during the pandemic, so using any spaces at the library or university is out;
