Worth a read: “The passivity and silence of the medical establishment, of medical school deans and hospital officials, and of too many (privately) pro-choice physicians… Thanks to their acquiescence, terrorism, intimidation and violence have won.” nytimes.com/2022/01/21/opi…

Worth a read: "One damaging consequence of white privilege is what’s known as 'the Black tax'...carries a double penalty because those extra efforts... are often discounted, if not ignored, when physicists come up for tenure and promotions" tinyurl.com/wzjrcwev #DEI #academia

Delighted to join this group and talk about how we can use microbiome research to enact therapeutic strategies to improve cancer outcomes for our patients. Outstanding discussion and many thanks to Seerave Foundation and Melanoma Research for organizing this great workshop!

We often don’t talk about the power differentials in medical training, which is largely an apprenticeship, and how disadvantaged student, residents, and fellows are in a system that treats their training and careers as a business commodity. The part we don’t discuss #Match2023

Very cool to see clinical progress on vaccines for RSV, which may or may not have been the bane of my existence as a graduate student! JK, ❤️RSV and virology, I’m only pretending to be a bacteriologist and immunologist 😉 nature.com/articles/d4159…
