I was cleaning out some files just now, and came across something that I’m sure my European followers have probably never seen.
Behold, the 98-page itemized bill for my kid’s 3-month NICU stay.
(Lego Obiwan is there for scale.)

Fusariosis can be as scary as it sounds. Fungal infections might not be as common as bacterial, but when they do happen their #resistance patterns can look like this! 😱 Thanks to @olivercornely.bsky.social for bringing us the new #antifungals coming to the rescue!

One of my companies informed me they cancelled a $2m conference in Florida. Why ?
They didn’t feel they could pass on the incremental cost of tariffs. So they are cutting expenses.
That’s a city that lost a ton of tourism revenue.
The cost of tariffs isn’t just the cost of the tariff

Sometimes the combination of arrogance and ignorance is breathtaking. Yes, US health care has high admin costs; that's because it relies so much on private insurers. Govt-run health insurance has much lower overhead

and the reason this is important is that politics have not stopped happening. trump is set to squander whatever goodwill he has with the voting public and this is an opportunity
incredible number of you do not seem to understand the difference between trump’s base and the marginal trump voter, i.e. “the people who gave trump the win.”

So happy to have had the opportunity to present our work and hopefully inspire a budding newly opened #AntibioticResistance center at Hallym University & Sacred Heart Hospital in Seoul, South Korea.
Wednesday started strong with the opening of the new Hallym Int’l Resistance Center HIARC. Our coordinator presented our path & experiences, while our director was part of the ribbon cutting (cool, huh?!) ✂️🎗️
We visited their premises and talked ongoing & future collaborations.

so far the only explanation i've seen that doesn't smack of "if only she'd listen to me she would have won" is "global discontent with incumbents because of inflation and post-pandemic malaise + toxic information environments"

I 1000% understand this psychological impulse to lean into the doom, but I spent a lot of years covering these jabronis and it’s not like they *suddenly* got super competent.
