Sadly, we still default to granting more respect to men than women.
8 studies: we're >2x as likely to call male politicians, athletes, teachers, and authors by their last names. It matters: surnames signal higher status.
It's long past time to use consistent standards.

Starting February 8, 2024, the Health Sciences Library will require card access to enter the buildings between 8:00 PM and 10:00 PM from Monday to Thursdays. Daytime hours and weekend hours will not be affected. #VCU #VCUHSL #MCV
ALT A yellow portrait poster is shown with the word "Attention" at the top in red. Below, written in black, it says "Card Access Only Monday-Thursday 8:00 PM-10:00 PM." Below, in smaller font, it says "Please call the front desk for assistance (804) 828-0636."

“Model how disagreement happens and break it down. Anything and everything should be debatable for the sake of understanding. Anything can be a teachable moment and should be.” @AmnaUncensored @AAMCtoday @mroth78 #AAMC23

“If you don’t really love the people, then justice is just your career move and not your life.” “Civil discourse is so deodorized….but the funk is where the love is!” I could listen to this all day! #aamc2022 @UR_Med

Vulnerability: “if you are a genuine truth seeker, it’s like getting on a train without knowing the destination, or more importantly, not knowing who you are going to be when you get off” #AAMC2022 – at Nashville, TN

We have a little survey going on @VCUHSLibrary, return the survey and be a minty lifesaver! #vcu #mcv

This is an important perspective on the Westfall Act. But it's also much more than that, in the way @tribelaw speaks on the relationship between access to justice and the health of a democracy (indulge me in a super short thread where I relate this back to public defense)
Here I explain why it’s vital for access to justice, the rule of law, and democracy’s very survival that Merrick Garland not compound his misstep in backing Donald Trump against E. Jean Carroll by now backing Mo Brooks against Eric Swalwell @GlobeOpinion

Dr. Choo suggests that it is time to move away from "admiring" the problem - we get it. How do we solve the problems of outcomes/dissolve health inequities? #mlanet20

Have any doubts as to Elsevier’s commitment to Open Access? Just see this: as of October 28, they will no longer provide open access to papers on the single biggest health crisis facing humanity. #OAintheUSA

I don’t think I saw one D-Day Anniversary tweet. So please share.
French caretakers take the sand from Omaha Beach and scrub them into the letters to give them the brown/gold coloring.
They also gave us this land as American soil. #DDay76 – at Los Angeles, CA

#medtwitter #nursetwitter #covid19 Any doctors or nurses working from home or doing telehealth REMEMBER to turn off your smart speakers (Alexa, Google Home, etc.) when working. They are always in listening mode and could record private info #medlibs

Writing in @TheLancet, editor-in-chief @RichardHorton1 criticized the AAP (@AmericanPublish) letter to Donald Trump. The Lancet is owned by #Elsevier, which signed the letter. Bravo to Horton and The Lancet for their perspective and independence.

Just 3 more #medlibs NEEDED for EFTS to hit its target of 750! Sign up or tell somebody to sign up. #EFTS @MedLibAssn

We are at 680, more #medlibs trickling in to sign up for EFTS. I feel like I'm preaching to the choir, so I need the choir to sing to others. @MedLibAssn #libraries

Super pro tip: ask administration why you don’t have a hospital librarian to get you these things and more. Start a movement to improve patient care b/c #medlibs can help you & nurses w/ a whole lot of things in your hospital to help patients.

So publishers & editors why aren't you using librarian experts to peer review systematic reviews? Do you not think of #librarians as experts? (2 of 2) #medlibs #AcedmicJournal #Acdemia #scientificpublishing #ScholComm #SystematicReviews #PeerReview bit.ly/2qSlQNh
"Librarians as expert searchers, can improve quality of systematic review searches, methodology, & reporting. Journal editors & authors often seek to improve quality of published SRs & other evidence syntheses through peer review" (1of 2) #medlibs bit.ly/2qSlQNh
