@jeffzwang Reminded me of the med school days where my bestie and I studied at McD’s for the same reasons! Thanks for sharing. :)

When I make videos about the US healthcare system, I try to do it in a way that is accessible to everybody. If you do advocacy work, please feel free to use these videos in presentations or send them to your Congress person. Keep advocating. https://t.co/wYtk6xZmaH

Following Elsevier's decision to raise the APC for NeuroImage to $3,450, all editors (inc. EiCs @fmrib_steve @tobergmann @BirteUta) from NeuroImage and NeuroImage:Reports have resigned, effective immediately. I am joining this action and have also resigned https://t.co/0aamG7bemJ

THIS. Worth a read.

Lemme flesh out the argument here since some respondents and QT’ers seem to be missing the point.

It’s not just “greedy insurance companies are making health care expensive!”

It’s that *we built a system that incentivizes insurers to systematically ⬆️ health care costs.*

Best way to feel time is to look at kids grow! 10 years went by just like that. What’s in store for us in another 10 years? Looking forward. Happy Saturday everyone! 🥰 #throwback #notmykid #whatsadecade #youngatheart #love #family #missinghomealready… https://t.co/i13JXpjYUh

2022 has been a year full of ups and downs, dishing me challenges and obstacles but also surrounding me with friends and family to comfort me and keep me company. I’m grateful for all that I have, but I do hope 2023 is a notch less intense. Love to all! … https://t.co/SH02g787TN
