@0liviajulianna I am so very sorry that you have to deal with this situation. It is so incredibly hurtful. If you are ever in Baltimore, I would *love* to have you over for dinner with my family.

1 of the Nursery's youngest elephants, Shujaa's a member of our blanket brigade, but that doesn't stop him spending time with the older bulls: he loves feeling like one of the biggies! But right now, he's happy to have snagged some greens, cleverly eating them away from prying 👀

@TheRealHoarse My daughter and I found a few from The Spinster Club series (no joke) in a Little Free Library last year. For several nights, she read a chapter aloud at dinner. We learned several German words while waiting for Sarah to take her glasses off already.

How can the #arts help today's doctors-in-training?

From @HopkinsMedicine: "Apparently, when given permission to deviate from the sciences, many of today’s aspiring physicians appreciate the value-add of the humanities."

One of my favorite parts of @artsinhealthUS NOAHCON has been the incredible performances by local artists like Lady Brion https://t.co/0RcWPdnjvn

[International Arts + Mind Lab @artsandmindlab]

Lady Brion absolutely wowed us this morning at NOAHCON with her compelling poems. She then reflected on the power of the arts to help us heal: “Art can fill the gap and treat the wounds; it can be a powerful tool for transformation.” @artsinhealthUS #thenoahcon2022

[International Arts + Mind Lab @artsandmindlab]

A wonderful exploration on how to better support #collaboration and #community engagement using the arts with IAM Lab's @susanmagsamen, @jhmusicmedicine's @pal7718, and @panagis21 at NOAHCON Day 1.
