I just bought my tickets from LAX-->DC for IDWeek2022. It took me a minute. (Blaming severe decision fatigue- I am dating myself in more ways than one, but I wish we still had travel agents!) But I am quite excited to meet all these amazing folks IRL.

Happy Onam (Kerala harvest) to all from this hinjewish family. Guilt is a powerful emotion for a mom/daughter/person, but some guilt trips are worth it and late nighttime (traditionally dawn) rituals in the garage (due to Santa Ana winds) are better than none. 🌸

This is so stressful. All major institutions, healthcare systems included, need a strategic plan to address climate change.

Crap. I hit reply all to an email. Resisting the urge to send πŸ˜’πŸ₯΄emojis to the same 40 people to acknowledge how stupidly tired I am. I hope those 40 people see this tweet.

The ADAPT (ask discuss ask plan together) framework works for a lot of things, including addressing vaccine hesitancy. In some ways it is more applicable to patient care than to learner feedback. thoughts? (It doesn't work for my parenting...I get no awards there.)

This podcast is blowing my mind this morning. It applies to me as a physician who rails against healthcare metrics, as a writer who feels alone in her room, an educator who gets high from that 1 spark, as a luddite who yet takes stock in social media analytics. πŸ™πŸΎ ❀️ Jason Gallagher πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦

I started this literary magazine at my med school 20 years ago, with a couple of really cool people. It has come a long way since its inception. Albert Einstein College of Medicine einsteinmed.edu/uploadedFiles/…

I keep thinking about this clever piece (that at times made this brown kid chuckle and cringe). I have had my moments on this bird app (esp when it came to a former colleague who is now an influential republican figurehead). But hyperbole on all sides is damaging.

β€œAs a mother of 2, I was moody and distant at times, and as a partner worse still.” Feeling all of this. Inspiration and anguish, at any given moment, day after day. ❀️
