🔜 #GU26 @ascocancer.bsky.social How to approach a vast meeting w/so much data? Look beyond data that repackages known truths but do NOT really advance understanding Common examples: 1. Less cancer is better than more cancer 2. Responders do better 3. More treatments vs. less improves PFS

From the @bmj.com this week - some commentary on the exodus of medical leaders from X that used to be Twitter. It’s sad, but I think it’s the right thing to move away from that platform. #MedSky Link here: www.bmj.com/content/392/...
Screenshot of the article.

Two more royal colleges join
the X exodus—why medical
leaders are refusing to tweet
The RCP and the RCGP are stepping back from Elon Musk’s social media
platform, citing abuse and hatred. Three other medical organisations have
left, and two are reviewing their activity. Chris Stokel-Walker reportsSecond page. Excerpt here:

Grok, the AI image generator,
brings concerns to a head
Once Musk had taken over Twitter
and then renamed it X in 2023, he
reshaped it by removing guardrails
and firing the trust and safety staff
who were meant to monitor users’
behaviour and the content posted,
to help keep the app a pleasant
place. As a result, abuse and harmful
content thrived.
Things came to a head over
Christmas 2025 when users
began weaponising X’s AI image
generator, Grok, to harass women
by posting nude or scantily clothed
images of them. Ofcom, the UK’s
communications regulator, opened an
investigation into the platform after
the technology minister, Liz Kendall,
raised concerns in parliament.
Matt Navarra, a social media
expert, says, “I think the royal
colleges, operating in tightly
regulated sectors like healthcare,
can’t afford to be seen sharing
space with platforms that are under
investigation for failing to prevent
harm. And that’s a compliance risk,
not just a PR risk.”

9/ The tariffs are DESIGNED to create economic hardship. Why? So that Trump has a straight face rationale for releasing them, business by business or industry by industry. As he adjusts or grants relief, it’s a win-win: the economy improves and dissent disappears.

You wouldn't know from reading this New York Times story about Trump punishing the University of Pennsylvania for trans athletes that there are no trans athletes on women's teams at the University of Pennsylvania because the New York Times didn't find that detail worth including
A news article headline reads, "White House Plans to Pause $175 Million for Penn Over Transgender Policy." The subheadline states that the decision is part of a broader effort to push universities to end diversity programming and adopt stricter discipline. Below the text is a photograph of a historic building on the University of Pennsylvania's campus, with a statue in the foreground and leafless trees framing the image. The article is authored by Alan Blinder and Michael C. Bender, published on March 19, 2025.A news article continues discussing the Trump administration's decision to suspend $175 million in federal funding to the University of Pennsylvania due to its policies regarding transgender athletes. The article references a White House social media account announcing the move, citing Penn's support of transgender swimmer Lia Thomas as a justification. A response from Penn states that they have not received official notification and assert they are in compliance with all relevant regulations.

Don’t just say DEI as if it’s a bad word. Spell it out. Say diversity, which is the lifeblood of American society & culture & innovation. Say equity, which a just society should pursue. Say inclusion, because decent people believe in increasing belonging, not isolating people who are different.

Pennsylvania: 8 schools received over $10 million from NIH in 2024 for a total of about $1.7 billion. Of that, $1.1 billion went directly to research and $661 million to facilities and administration. The new rate would bring that to $165 million, a loss of $496 million.
