I love all the handwringing about Zohran’s lack of experience when a 19 year-old called Big Balls has recently been made a permanent federal employee with the title Senior Advisor at the GS-15 pay grade in the General Services Administration.

I’ve been in academic medicine for 45 years. This is the first time I’m seeing a perfect storm, as proposed federal funding cuts threaten our ability to provide patient care, train the next generation of doctors, and conduct life-saving research. More from my conversation with @cnn.com last week.

If you’re convinced that red wine should be reserved for the colder months, consider the tinto de verano. It’s to summer in Spain what a chilled bottle of rosé is to l’été in Provence. trib.al/KZiNR2c

When the #MeToo movement began, in the 2010s, it brought the possibility of justice for survivors of sexual violence. Then came the backlash.
