I wouldn’t be where I am today without the love and support that @MichelleObama has poured into me over the years. Her story — from her South Side roots to the White House and beyond — is a central part of the Obama Presidential Center.

Your attention span isn’t fixed. It increases with practice.

Evidence: After 20min sessions solving cognitively challenging problems (10-20hrs total), students show significant gains in sustained focus and test scores.

Like physical stamina, mental stamina requires exercise.

A patient somewhere still remembers you because you were present and kind in a difficult, vulnerable moment when no one else was.

Your goal is NOT to prove you're smart. It's to make problems go away.

“Whenever I’m about to do something, I think ‘Would an idiot do that?’ and if they would, I do not do that thing.” – Dwight Schrute

"It’s through humble, curious communication that we begin to learn & try new things. Hopefully, science remains curious enough to look for & humble enough to recognize when we have found the next outlier. This next exception teaches us what we don’t actually know.” — Dr. KJ #SLP

[Julia Belluz @juliaoftoronto]

We talk a lot about the toll the health system takes on patients but we talk way too little about its impact on doctors.

One of those was Dr. Scott Jolley. It is with a very heavy heart that I share this @voxdotcom report about him.
