I think it is evident that we have already brought the conversation to BlueSky!
In an environment plagued by scientific misinformation, do medical organisations/journals have a moral imperative to remain, to provide a source of truth & reason?
Or should they just.. leave?
Let's discuss.

Huge respect to @anzca.bsky.social for leaving Twitter behind. Time for other health related organisations to do the same.
You have the power to bring the conversation to BlueSky.

I heard about @thetimes.com article from UK colleagues- but I was not prepared for this. A sexist dig at women, a stereotyping of orthopaedic surgeons as 'carpenters' and cardiothoracic surgeons as 'plumbers', and a final snark about transgender. Appalling.

The last speaker in the Diveristy in Focus session at #WSM2025 is @curlygastube.bsky.social , speaking about working with a non-visible disability.
Her story of recovery from a traumatic brain injury, among multiple other injuries, was both candid and inspirational.
She is incredible.

editorial from @bmj.com and paper: Poor staff retention is associated with higher patient mortality. Have said it before & I’ll say it again. If you don’t care for the carers, they cannot care for their patients.
