Trauma-informed medical education, in acknowledging that human beings are emotional creatures whose past experiences inform their present responses, supports the challenging work of developing wholly-human physicians who better understand themselves and patients: journals.stfm.org/familymedici...

One of the most depressing things about watching movies with onboard airline scenes from the 1970s and 80s is how much room we had and how fancy the service was

President of MIT not mincing words today in @statnews.com www.statnews.com/2026/05/27/s...

So let me say it as clearly as I can: Without basic scientific research, supported by the kind of farsighted public investment that allows large-scale, undirected, curiosity-driven inquiry, the scientific pipeline will run dry.
In daily life, people may not feel the effects right away, or even in 10 years. But we will feel it. And when someone we love needs therapies that could have emerged but didn't or when other countries now
investing in science can launch new science-based industries or run their societies on vast resources of fusion energy or reap the benefits of quantum computing power or advanced medical breakthroughs, America will wish it sustained its leadership in scientific research here and now.
Sally Kornbluth is the president of MIT.

History repeats: As it’s the 50th anniversary, I re-watched the movie “All the Presidents Men,” and also “Mark Felt: The Man Who Brought Down the White House.” Fedoras have been replaced with baseball caps, but otherwise, not much in government seems to have changed.
