He either underestimated the size of the Iranian coconut, or grossly overestimated anal capabilities. Truth is more likely both. Either way, trust the Akans from Ghana 🇬🇭 to have a proverb like this that savagely encapsulates the American predicament. #FAFO

@ChevalierCarter En Afrique, on dit: "Qui avale une noix de coco, fait confiance en son anus", ce qui signifie qu'il faut toujours assumer et mesurer les conséquences de ses actes. Et dans ce cas, on dirait que la taille de la noix de coco et les capacités de l'anus ont été mal évaluées.

“It’s time to wake the fuck up”

Neil deGrasse Tyson: “Half of my fellow graduate students when I was getting my PhD were foreign nationals. Do you realize one third of all the Nobel Prizes in sciences won by Americans were won by immigrants to America? If you’re gonna trail the world in practically everything, including your economy, it’s time to wake the fuck up”

At the South African Embassy in DC today, I saw this statue of Madiba—a symbol of Pan-African unity and a reminder that we have more in common than we realize.

However, @WorldcupFIFA26_ match today, I’m Sunkaru Martinez Torres from Chihuahua Mexico! 🇲🇽 @BafanaBafana

[Sunkaru Touray, MD @stouraymd]

An institution whose server has been down for weeks, with no alternative to provide services, is not experiencing a technical problem. It reflects a culture that tolerates dysfunction. Service delivery should not come to a halt because a single system fails. @Gambia_MOJ

[Sunkaru Touray, MD @stouraymd]

In #Gambia, inefficiency is so normalized you gotta think in 'Gambian Years' to get things done. 1 Earth Year= 7 Gambian Years. Our challenges reflect deep cultural habits, weak institutions, and a collective tolerance for dysfunction. We're not ready for prime time.

[American Thoracic Society (ATS) @atscommunity]

The ATS is expressing serious concern with a proposed rule issued by the White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) that would have significant consequences for how federal research grants are reviewed, awarded, managed, and shared.

The ATS is especially concerned that the rule would weaken peer review, further politicize science, limit the dissemination of federally funded research, and create new barriers to scientific progress and patient health. “Federal research funding should be guided by scientific merit, rigorous and transparent peer review, and the urgent health needs of all patients and the public,” said ATS President Michelle Ng Gong, MD, MS, ATSF. “The federal government should be strengthening research policies that help prevent disease and save lives; not creating new obstacles for the scientists and clinicians working to advance public health.”

The ATS will submit formal comments opposing the proposed rule. Comments are due to OMB by Monday, July 13. Learn more: https://t.co/d37XiWvvhL

A sign of progress since 2016 — and a reminder of how far we can still go
