"After 30 years as a researcher, science communicator and university science teacher, I’ve been unsettled by what appears to be a growing skepticism of science among some of my Generation Z students..."

Some people mistakenly believe that skepticism *is* science.

“framing science as a debate to be won makes it easy to paint established scientists as opponents who must be overcome”

An interesting thesis and suggestion of a solution

I’ve also had numerous patients tell me that when they’re on the diabetic diet, they can’t order oatmeal for breakfast but they can order tater tots? 🤷🏽‍♀️

be kind and give your patients a REGULAR DIET

caffeine-free diets ➡️ caffeine withdrawal

sodium-restricted diets aren't evidence-based (use diuretics to balance volume)

treat hyperglycemia with insulin (not by artificially restricting carbs)

(renal diet for hyperkalemic renal failure = exception)

We are fast going to find out in the #medical #fellowship match in #December how much more short staffed #nephrology and #Geriatrics clinics are going to be when the 50% of those specialties made up of #H1B #immigrants don’t come to the US anymore

Ryan Marino, MD @ryanmarino.bsky.social · 10d

The biggest reason for longer waits is staffing shortages, which are driven by more people leaving healthcare practice than entering, esp nursing, due to bad management practices (often related to private equity).

This administration’s immigration policies will significantly worsen these shortages.

ER doc here! This is a lie. Wait times are up because the American healthcare system is an unsustainable business model and a for-profit national healthcare system just doesn’t work. These problems will continue to get worse until we change that system. It literally has nothing to do with immigrants

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 10d

Vance: "If you're an American citizen & you've been to the hospital in the last few years, you've probably noticed wait times are especially large & very often somebody who's there in the ER is an illegal alien. Why do those people get healthcare benefits at hospitals paid for by American citizens?"

Yes, it's a good thing that DHS is condemning this ICE officer, but let's realize this only happened because 1) the video went viral and 2) the ICE agent was unmasked.

We need to hold them accountable to actions like this everyday.

BREAKING: The ICE officer who shoved an Ecuadorian woman to the floor at a Manhattan immigration courthouse has been “relieved of duties” and is under investigation, DHS says.

Did we all take organic chemistry & the MCAT & miss the social part of our early 20’s and work 80 hours a week for 3+ years for the brain worm guy who doesn’t know what a p-value is to destroy our nation’s public health system? No.

Time to lean into our expertise and speak up.
