Women in academic GI earn 85 cents on the dollar made by their male counterparts. Women division chiefs earn $100k less than male division chief counterparts. Impact on lifetime earnings: 🤯 Important data presented by a powerhouse in gender equity in GI Loren G. Rabinowitz, MD


A year after Steward filed for bankruptcy—congratulations to the The Boston Globe for being recognized as Pulitzer Prize finalists for their essential work uncovering the financial mismanagement of Steward Health Care. You made sure the lives lost to Steward were not forgotten.

This would be a devastating loss for public health. Cutting off the nose (Harvard) to spite the face (women and society). Consider writing your Congressperson and Senators. I know I will. Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley Ed Markey Elizabeth Warren cnn.com/2025/05/08/hea…


I commend Crohn's & Colitis Foundation for recognizing that some of the most important work we do as physicians is “political.” For ourselves, for patients, for equity, and for research. Silence = complicity.


Thank you Mass General Brigham for remaining committed to colon cancer outreach/equity, incluso en español. Looking forward to how this turns out after cuts!
