Despite what they try to tell you, caring about others, fighting for the rights of ALL human beings, honouring differences amongst us all, are NOT threats to you, or to your way of life.

Striving to be better always is honouring your own humanity, while protecting others' humanity.

Imagine that.

Hundreds of millions of dollars suspended for cancer, diabetes, and Alzheimer's research (among many, many other equally important diseases and endeavors) and for what? What is the point of all of this? Help me understand how this makes our country better, stronger, and healthier in any way.

Thanh Neville, MD, MSHS @thanhneville.medsky.social · Aug 1

The massive list of suspended UCLA grants came out today: 300 NSF and 500 NIH grants. I am miraculously not on the list, but this is devastating. Science will be lost, progress will be frozen, people will lose jobs, and careers in science and medicine are being destroyed. This is not ok.

What do social workers really think about social media?
At #NASW2025, “Bias,” “Privacy,” and “Connection” topped the list. The takeaway? We’re watching carefully—and we want social media to work for, not against, our values.
