Hello! 👋🏼 I’m Gloria. Feels like OG #MedTwitter! I work at UCLA Health developing #MedEd programs focused on reducing stigma and increasing access to care for people who use drugs. I live in the SoCal town that burst into flames the day after the election, so send good thoughts for our community. ❤️‍🩹

I am reading a reviewing a grant that is 278 pages long. People who think scientists and universities are getting "easy money" from the #NIH clearly know nothing about science.

Most Russians don’t know Putin is a dictator—because he controls the news media.

Same thing is happening with legacy and mainstream news media in the U.S.

Here's some large cuttlefish/CUTElfish for this wonderful day!

Two quite large (person sized) cuttlefish jetting over a beautiful reef. You can tell how big they are as divers are in the background. The colors are dancing grey and dark mottling on the one in front, dark striations on the one behind who has tentacles extended. Photo by Andrea Ramos

Designated driver - is harm reduction.

Bike helmets - is harm reduction.

Seat belts - is harm reduction.

Supervised consumption sites - is harm reduction.

All these approaches cannot stop accidents from happening but can definitely reduce the harms that are caused by them....

Pope Leo XIV has blasted how wealthy people live in a “bubble of comfort and luxury” while the poor suffer. In his first teaching document Thursday, Leo confirms that he is in perfect lockstep with Pope Francis on matters of social injustice.

“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”

Omg my heart rate just went up reading this! One time I went to a conference in Vegas and between meetings I was in my room banging out a grant proposal. In other news, highly recommend Wizard of Oz at the Sphere!

And why isn’t Chicago PD doing a Use of Force investigation?

An ICE agent shot an American citizen.
He filed a false report that contradicted his body cam footage.
The agent allegedly said, "Do something, b*tch" before shooting her, leaving her with seven gunshot wounds.
Why isn't this on every news channel?

Lawyer, here. 1st Amendment codifies the right to be “free speech,” assembly and religion, without interference from govt. This violent govt act blatantly shatters these protections.
This pastor, these victims will never see anything resembling justice. Open civil rights violations are the norm now.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.
