Every clinic visit- do you need a school note? Do you need a work note? Here take one just in case! (Etc.) Took my son to the dentist yesterday and forgot to ask for the note. (Just like I forgot last time.) 🤦🏻‍♀️

Dear fellow scientists, Go talk to the press about what is going on. Talk to local news about how it will impact jobs. Be specific, but don't pity yourself. Instead focus on how your own situation affects local jobs, the national economy, beating the growing scientific race with China. Suggestions:

I know this sounds far fetched, but there is potential for bipartisan work on things like PBMs and Medicare advantage. Our current news cycle is showing us that these mega healthcare corporations have a roughly 0% approval rating. Everybody is pissed off at (mostly) the same things.
I think they’ll reverse it but legislation? Rs don’t care about us peons.
