So much time, effort, and money wasted by meaningless journal formatting rules!

Formatting should happen after acceptance, not before peer review.

Congrats ‘Cats! 😈

Is rehearsing school shootings the best way to protect U.S. children? What if there are better ways? When did we decide to accept a reality where teachers and students have to ask these questions at all? nej.md/3BRzUYj

Sitting here sobbing. This was the most powerful talk I have ever heard. If you are in medicine, you need to listen to @lubitz_carrie raw emotion and courage. This will resonate with everyone on some level. Thank you so much for your extreme bravery in sharing your story.

Impressive results for [11C]metomidate PET-CT versus adrenal vein sampling for aldosteronoma localization in Nature Medicine yesterday. Is this the beginning of the end of AVS? Quan-Yang Duh American Surgeon Thomas Fahey nature.com/articles/s4159…

We will miss you, Orlo. For the hundreds of surgeons you trained, you taught us more than endocrine surgery. You always saw the best in us and brought out the best in everyone. We remember your kindness. Goodbye, my teacher, my mentor, my friend.

A good argument for blinded reviews.

Thank you to my amazing co-fellow @stedavis21_MD, my mentors Quan-Yang Duh, wen shen, American Surgeon, Julie A Sosa, MD, and #JessicaGosnell , and everyone at UCSF Surgery. I’m sad to leave SF, but I can’t wait to get started at Albany Med Health System!

We have to move the needle on gun safety. Each of these mass shootings have employed AR-15. These are weapons of war. I have cared for patient injured by these weapons & they destroy lives. #GunSafetyNow . Sensible changes-background checks, red flag laws, ban assault weapons.

The path forward has been written by consensus. Let us all move in that direction. 🫱🏻‍🫲🏾💔❤️‍🩹
