This is going to come across as pretentious and unhelpful, but I really recommend reading books. Reading a book is the only thing I do where I feel like I'm nourishing my attention span, rather than sanding it down. The trick is to just read whatever you enjoy — not what you feel like you should.

I don't remember this part in the book, so clearly I need to re-read the book *and* watch the movie now

Cool finding. I also like that the post makes it sound like there are institutes filled with full-time "velvet underground researchers." I'd like to live in that reality

I gotta say, I wouldn't have clocked these for being from 1895 immediately after Roentgen's discovery of X-rays. I feel like the field of medical imaging moved pretty slow for the period after this.

As a fan of the em and en dashes prior to the explosion of its use with ChatGPT, I'm conflicted. One one hand, I am happy others will now use this helpful punctuation; however, I don't like that people view it as a signal that GPT was the source of the writing.

Finally fulfilled my dream of owning a 1952 Topps card with this Larry Doby gem. Sharing it on Jackie Robinson Day because Doby was the second African American in MLB, following Robinson. Both legends broke barriers, inspiring us toward equality and inclusion. #JackieRobinsonDay #LarryDoby

I've been calling every day to see what our Republican Senators in Tennessee's official stance is on the NIH cuts and firings: Marsha Blackburn: (202) 224-3344 Bill Hagerty: (202) 224-4944 No word yet. The interns at Hagerty's office are friendly. Marsha's goes to voicemail

💯 A company might have a much lower IDC rate but they are not responsible for training their employees for 5 years with the intended goal that these people move on and bring these skills to another company.

Total novice on this topic, but I'm pretty sure the indirect rate is negotiated between the NIH and research institutes. It's not a made up number. It's what both parties agreed on as the cost to perform research

Happy PharmPhriday 💊 Vintage drug ads are one of my favorite things and among the top thoughts when someone says they long for “the good old days” (oh yeah? Was it the blatant racism, sexism, and bigotry, and the heavy sedative use?) What are some of your favorite vintage drug ads or labels? 🧪 🩺
