I tweeted this thread yesterday, but I was too angry to comment. What happened to Dr. Princess Dennar at @TulaneMedicine is not new and it’s not a ‘Dr. Dennar’ problem. It’s a ‘systemic racism in academic medicine’ problem. These institutions must be held accountable.
(1/x) Last night the #MedPeds21 group chat was rocked with news of a sudden change in program leadership for the MedPeds residency at Tulane University. Dr. Dennar, the first Black female program director at Tulane, was no longer PD.

We’re guided by science. Not politics. We’re guided by data. Not protests. We’re guided by public health. Not emotion. That’s how we meet this moment. That’s how we save lives.

BREAKING: We just sent nationwide, coordinated public records requests to the Trump administration and state Departments of Corrections across the country, for information about what they knew about the spread of COVID-19 in prisons and jails but chose to ignore.

The COVID 19 pandemic has tested us in ways we have never imagined. Although we are all anxious to get back to some semblance of normalcy, we must ensure safety is a priority. Today @GovMurphy unveiled the 6 principles of his vision to the road to recovery. We will recover.

In case there are any doubts, restricting immigration INTO the coronavirus capital of the world is not about protecting its people

“Opening up America Again” when the curve is just beginning to flatten is like stopping your prescribed antibiotics because you started to feel better
