Help out an undergraduate student researcher with their survey project on patients' and providers' perspectives on treatments for PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome). Further description and contact info in opening page at the survey URL or QR code. Thank you!
Looking for another 25-35 responses from PCOS patients to give this student at least 50 to analyze in their honors research. We've had no luck with physician/provider responses, it may be too tough out there in 2025, but the patient responses are interesting. #MedSky

STILL MISSING!!
The first grader has been separated from his dad for almost a week, following ICE abducting them for the third time this year! ICE refuses to disclose the 6 yr old’s location.
WHERE IS YUANXIN?
Call your Reps & ask them to pressure ICE/DHS to reunite Fei & Yuanxin & release them!

We did receive a very large donation (>211k plus matching that needs to be clarified) but this wont affect the outcome of #HCWvsHunger this year & does not diminish what you all have done.
And the most important thing is that we are FEEDING A LOT OF PEOPLE.

And I'm not saying that all kids will respond to that incentive, but I think for some fields that have life or death stakes to their work, and high risks, they need to know that not knowing their shit is often a literal death sentence for someone else.

Today marks one year since the Dec. 3, 2024 martial law declaration that rocked South Korea and still reverberates today. What’s on my mind today is the grit of South Koreans who rushed to the National Assembly that night, in freezing weather, to demand a return to democratic government.

In describing the killing spree at sea, if people want to invoke an international crime, the former prosecutor for the ICC has offered a more accurate term than "war crime" (there is no war).
