I resemble these remarks!

I was walking through Boston when I found myself cheering out loud for Yale.
Yes, Yale.
Its new report did something almost unthinkable for an elite university: honestly confronted some of academia’s biggest problems.
I was thrilled. And then I made a terrible mistake.
I always considered myself a well-rounded person. Then I got a PhD and became an expert on a topic that only 7 people understand. Four of them think I’m an idiot.
“Every relevant medical society recommends against screening asymptomatic men for testosterone deficiency, because it is akin to scouring a hotel room with a black light: you’re going to find a lot of stuff of indeterminate significance that you wish you hadn’t seen.”
I wrote about Pete Hegseth’s testosterone obsession for The New Yorker https://t.co/aBlp1xzcJI
@DukeMGOLF Very cool! Well done!
Make sure that Coach @Bobheintzgolf shares what it was like to win, himself, three-in-a-row Ivy League medalist trophies!

Trump's disinhibition has gotten markedly worse in the last couple of weeks. In my latest @washingtonsun column, I've compiled his (and his administration's) pre-midterm crescendo of crazy, from Ukraine to Jon Husted's ass. https://t.co/zi6sgUlEPd
Two wrongs make a right when it comes to incivility
Retaliatory incivility (i.e., incivility in response to someone else's incivility) is seen as less morally condemnable than initial incivility.
This may create a vicious circle of conflict, as each side responds with greater incivility.

I've researched this deeply and written about it in my column. It affects my life because I've been a smoker since birth. It took me 14 years to get my hands on cigarettes and then 30 years to switch to safe vaping.
Sally Satel @slsatel ⬇️ is one of the smartest intellectuals you'll find on a variety of issues including transplants. I adore her.😍
People find it hard to measure risk: They see smoke or vapor and think it's all the same thing. It is not.

Patient I saw today has been my patient for almost 8 years.
They were not well then: oxygen needed and potential lung transplant.
So, we got to work on helping them.
Today, they saw me after a trip through Europe, OFF of oxygen. This was a trip they had put off for years due to her lungs 🥹
So proud. An honor to be someone’s doctor and invest in them 💪
Prof @BhramarBioStat brought the light and truth (boola boola, @YaleSPH) at today's @theNAMedicine's #NAMmtg.
Such clear, powerful, and important messages about the importance of improving the fidelity and comprehensiveness of our data collection methods if we want better science and policy.
