Last Friday, I successfully defended my PhD and then graduated. Two-for-one, if you will. It was a long road. Thank you to everyone who helped me along the way.

Misinformation kills.
52 American physicians actively spread Covid-19 misinformation to millions of people on social media about vaccines, masks, and conspiracies.

In case you missed it: Women are less likely to be credited for their scientific contributions than men. It’s true across multiple fields & at all stages, with important repercussions for career progress. #WomenInSTEM #WomenInMedicine #MedTwitter

In academic seminars, 'Men are > 2.5 times more likely to pose questions to the speakers.This male skew was observable only in those seminars in which a man asked first question. When a woman did so, gender split disappeared'. CHAIRS PLEASE NOTE FIRST Q TO A WOMAN -

Big new paper from an MCMP academic sibling. It’s great to see good people whose paths crossed ours for a short while flourishing out there in the big bad world.
