Typhoon Halong hit Western Alaska - communities, culture, sustenance and people under water. We are a state with less than a million people (though the largest geographically), over 1,000 people displaced. Please consider helping if you are capable. #alaskastrong

Immediately after, I had to recollect myself. I felt utterly embarrassed and disqualified to even be preaching on the subject. I then pondered on my own statements. To err is human. We are not perfect, and learning from our mistakes to prevent them n the future is the name of the game. 3/3

First, she requested my presentation by email. Second, she notified me of an error in my slides where I was reviewing different volumes that a tick mark represents depending on total syringe volumes. My heart literally sank to my stomach. 2/3

To err is human - that statement is humbling more than ever. I presented at my state pharmacy association about pediatric medication safety and error prevention. Afterwards, an attendee had come up to me with valuable feedback. 1/3

Charlie Kirk is now his own statistic and justification for what he believed. It is okay not to feel compassion for someone who made a career of not showing it to others and even contributing to other people's pain. We need tangible change to make society better and safer for everyone. 5/5

This happened in a world that Charlie Kirk helped to create, and I, for one, dont like living in it (either should you). I also refuse to force empathy for someone who was so cruel to other people. 4/?

We need common sense gun laws now more than ever. Both sides of the aisle have felt the outcomes of gun violence, and remaining complacent is not an option. Thoughts and prayers are not working and never have. Those affected by gun violence bleed the same, including Charlie Kirk. 3/?

He was a vile opportunist that ironically died in a way that his views projected. He stated that losing lives with simply the cost for upholding the 2nd amendment. In my perspective, any more than zero violence or loss of life from guns is too much. No one benefits from his viewpoint. 2/?

Charlie Kirk is dead - a thread. I hold no happiness or sorrow. Rather, I am upset about the level of unnecessary gun violence and that it is the number one cause of death in young children. I am upset that people like Charlie Kirk glorify guns over children's lives. 1/?

The Alaska State Board just motioned to put forth regulations restricting evidence-based gender affirming care and late-term abortions. This is 100% a political move and doesn't align with nationally recognized guidelines and organizations. 30-day comment period coming up. Get ready.

Between RFK decimating the CDC, normalizing Ashli Babbitt & the umpteenth school shooting... I'm losing the will to post.

I can't celebrate the crumbs when they took the loaf. Might just toss the plate.

Dr. Jake Scott's rebuttal of recent claims by RFK Jr on vaccine safety and conflicts of interest. "I’m a physician who has looked at hundreds of studies of vaccine safety, and here’s some of what RFK Jr. gets wrong." theconversation.com/im-a-physici...

The health secretary has made many inaccurate statements about vaccines. But the science is clear that vaccines have dramatically reduced childhood illness, disability and death.

Please contact your senators and tell them to vote no on "Big, Beautiful Bill," especially if you live in Alaska. Contact Senator Dan Sullivan and Lisa Murkowski. We can not afford the consequences of this bill and the slash to Medicaid, which will force closure to ALHs and rural hospitals.
