For the past 10 months, resident & fellow physicians with the University of California Hospital system have been fighting for a union contract to protect patients & guarantee fair pay.
This hospital system made $2.2 billion in profits last year. UC must sign a fair deal — NOW.
Sci-Hub is an evil website that pirated 85M+ research papers and made them freely available
And now they've added AI to their database to make Sci-Bot.
It answers your questions using latest, full-text articles.
But DO NOT use it. We should all try to make billion-dollar academic publishers richer.
I'm putting the link below so you know how to avoid it.
BREAKING: Scientists are staging a “science fair” in the lobby of a Congressional building to tell elected officials about the critical knowledge the US will lose because their research grants have been canceled.
TFW when you tell the resident that the upcoming case will probably be the *only* time they do this during their entire residency, and their eyes go wide for a split second while they process this…🤌😎
DAVID IS RELEASED and with his family! He still faces an unjust felony charge.
SEIU CA USWW President David Huerta was assaulted and arrested while standing up for immigrants’ rights.
While we’re relieved that David is out after three nights in detention, we demand the Trump regime drop the unjust charge against him & end the raids! https://t.co/u8ZRS5QEAe #FreeDavidEndRaids
4. Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is probably an STI
BV affects about 30% of women. It's caused by changes in the vaginal microbiota, but it's not currently considered an STI
This randomised-controlled trial in women with BV had two groups 1) Standard therapy (treating affected women with antibiotics) or 2) Antibiotic treatment both of women and their male partner
Treating male partners (in addition to affected women) led to a striking reduction in recurrence of BV
This means BV is probably sexually-transmitted, and we should probably start treating the male partners of affected women

This year, OB-GYN applicants used a new system - ResidencyCAS - to apply to residency programs.
ACOG just released preliminary application data - and a couple of figures caught my eye.
(🧵)
This figure should ENRAGE you. 0.13 percent of all R&D funding goes to menopause?
ONE PERCENT TOTAL goes to non-cancerous women’s health conditions (endometriosis, incontinence, prolapse, fibroids, etc?) Does Gynecology even exist?
