Why are med schools offering classes on structural racism, you ask?
Because of Henrietta Lacks
Because of the Tuskegee Study
Because of experimental procedures on enslaved Black women
Because of unnecessary procedures on women in ICE detention centers
Because if you are Black or Hispanic & come to a hospital with a heart attack, you are more likely to experience a worse standard of care
The reasons are endless.

Hi, Jewish MIT student here. No protestors on MIT campus have called for Jewish genocide despite Rep. Stefanik’s twisted, opportunistic insistence.
And just wondering, does Stanford also unequivocally condemn the actual groundwork being laid for the genocide of Palestinians?
in community, have the power to reimagine a future and recreate a world without this unbearable suffering. We must be “here to put out the ravenous flames and
heal the world. Enough is enough.”

Today is #ShowYourStripes day. A simple visual to understand how our climate and our world has changed in our lifetime due to human-caused @climatechange
We are in a #climatecrisis
One of the most effective things each of us can do is speak about it
Thanks @ed_hawkins
It will be hotter for the rest of your and your children's lives.

This letter signed by over 500 Hoosier physicians expresses disappointment with the treatment of Dr. Caitlin Bernard and was published today in the @indystar
This affects the entire house of medicine
The addition of @MAMAVA pods to airports and other public spaces is such a beautiful thing for those times I don’t feel like breastfeeding in public. My little one and I appreciate it @BostonLogan and @PHXSkyHarbor!

This JAMA thing is emblematic of why we struggle to get funded & published, bc ppl who feel they’re ~not racist~ & are offended by terms like structural racism must reflexively frown and clutch their ~anti-racist~ pearls at the sight of such terms in the title or abstract. *Sigh*
So many emotions from patients this morning - relieved, grateful, excited, ecstatic! Loving the chance to help get #COVIDVaccine into arms this morning @The_BMC ‘s Roslindale Community Health Center. What a great way to start the day! #ThisIsOurShot
