Adaptive expertise involves *embracing* the unknown, learning to thrive in ambiguity. Love the term epistemic humility. #meded @icreconf.bsky.social

My first @icreconf.bsky.social on @bsky.app - maybe this is how I finally start to engage here (rather than that other place)? Excited to be back in Quebec.

When you curse any of these modern politicians, make sure that curse goes back, ancestrally, to at LEAST 1877 and the end of Reconstruction.

Conversations with journal editors about language in manuscripts submitted - concern for the authors' safety, scientific credibility, the potential for career impact... all due to "banned words." Is this real life? Is the an "Orwellian Manual of Style" we can adhere to?

I’ve cared for infants who stopped breathing w/ pertussis. School aged kids who died of flu or COVID. And many of my patients can’t be vaccinated because they’re on chemotherapy or are immune compromised. Vaccinations save lives of those who get them & those who cannot. It’s that simple.

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

As the Supreme Court debates trans kids' right to essential healthcare, today is a good day to ruminate on the fact that the United States is the ONLY UN member state not to have ratified the Convention on the Rights of the Child.

All the more reason for excellent training in pediatrics in emergency medicine. Crucial for acute care of children.

I just think it's great that the little NICU babies and I both need a dose of caffeine to keep us from dying.

We must keep this in the forefront. Medicaid covers almost half of all children #KeepKidsCovered

Gearing back up after a fair bit of malaise and fatigue on the other app. Looking forward to (re-)connecting with all the good #MedEd people and ideas over here.
