This is pretty awesome! An impressive run with some left in the tank to cheer on fellow competitors. We can all learn a bit from this. 💪
POV: You’re 25 miles into the Chicago Marathon and on your way to a 2:34 PR. Here’s what the final mile looks like from inside the race.

Best video I’ve seen all day. Congratulations Dr Deisseroth
The most important briefings of the day. Karl Deisseroth, professor of bioengineering and of psychiatry and behavioral sciences, shares the news of his Nobel Prize with his kids.

Brilliant. Perfectly describes what we experience in academics within healthcare. “People want their ideas more than they want better ideas” @HumanFact0rz
Some thoughts on burnout: 🧵 A part of burnout in medicine, especially in academia, is that people are carrying around with them an enormous number of thoughts and frustrations that just sit there and fester in their minds, and they see no safe outlet for expressing them. (1/)

Medicine is where people spend 20 years becoming experts so they can eventually be managed by people who aren’t.

This is a very accurate message. My last trauma call had several pts critically injured from e-bike related accidents. These are incredibly dangerous. People behave differently on them, driving too fast, often without helmets and try to get benefits of both cars & bikes. 🤦‍♂️😳
Don't get on an e-bike. Don't get near an e-bike. Don't let your loved ones get near an e-bike.

Slow down and remember this: Most things make no difference. Being busy is a form of laziness—lazy thinking and indiscriminate action. Being overwhelmed is often as unproductive as doing nothing, and is far more unpleasant. Being selective—doing less—is the path of the productive. Focus on the important few and ignore the rest.

False positives on whole body MRI are an issue for patients and doctors, but the existential risk for whole body MRI companies is false negatives. As these companies scan more people and those people age their liability becomes massive! Read more: open.substack.com/pub/nickma…

Amazing display of mental rehearsal @riggsy @cjmdenny @HumanFact0rz
Watch the Navy Blue Angels choreographing their air show performance. It’s that precise! Absolutely zero wiggle room involved in performing these maneuvers. Crazy.

The game winning shot by RJ Barrett is exactly why I love watching live sports. In an era when we constantly question reality we can still fall back to human performance at its best. Unpredictable. Amazing. Sometimes unfair. But most importantly real. And thats why I watch.
