A pandemic cannot be beaten without robust national health systems. However, funds committed to the Access to #COVID19 Tools Accelerator are skewed towards vaccines; $3.9 billion versus $360 million for health systems. Ann Danaiya Usher for World Report: hubs.li/H0DHVS50

Last week’s attack is cause for grief and outrage. But it should not be cause for shock.

I couldn't have one without the other. I painted @JoeBiden because he stutters just like me. He showed me that speaking slowly kinda masks a stutter.

Excellent @TheLancet piece by the extraordinary physician @gradydoctor. 👇🏼
"Acknowledging every aspect of the barriers for Black Americans to enrollment in clinical trials is critical to moving forward. We are not simply untrusting—we remember. And there is still far too much evidence of Black lives not mattering in society."

Despite the challenges facing us this year, a historic number of Americans have voted in this election. Their votes deserve to be counted.

I am so grateful for the hope & comfort I feel when I listen to scientists like @CMangurian, @MaxKrummel, & @TejalDesaiUCSF talk about what inspires their work.

I’m looking forward to a future where the people know that—even in crisis—the president has their back.
How about you?

Child and adolescent psychiatry fellow @ChaseTMAnderson in @statnews: I’m a Black psychiatrist. I’m never prepared for the emptiness and grief I feel when police shoot a Black person. - ucsfpsy.ch/3mAUUc5

Together, we will build our country back better than before.
It was an honor to make the case for @JoeBiden’s and my campaign directly to the American people.

UCSF psychologist @Dr_Epel, PhD, worked with colleagues at the UCSF Department of Psychiatry to create the site. Rather than just listing resources or bullet points, it offers advice on a range of mental health issues.

Today is #WorldMentalHealthDay, and @UCSFPsychiatry has put together a site focused on mental well-being during the pandemic. But it's applicable for dealing with all kinds of stresses -- and for cultivating mindfulness.
A thread.

16/ Great @bmj_latest review by @trishgreenhalgh, whose conclusion (below) seems reasonable to me bit.ly/2LmB4B3 There are times where the evidence, though imperfect, is good enough to take action, & this is one of them. People, we’re talking about face masks, not chemo.
