I dont mind AI when it is used appropriately in the medical field such as writing notes. Please do not use it to inform your practice or invalidate my recommendations because "AI said...". AI doesnt know the pt. AI doesnt have a doctorate. It is fallible.

I imagine from this point we will be following AAP vaccine schedules since the CDC is now infiltrated with political bias, including ACIP after the RFK Jr overhaul. Here is the latest edition published, more on their website. #vaccine

ACIP now not recommending the HepB vaccine is an atrocity. This is against the grain of major medical organizations and doesnt make sense in a healthsystem where prenatal care/screening are a struggle for many and deaths from HepB are unnecessarily high.

The CDC is no longer a reliable source for scientifically sound or evidence-based health recommendations. Their statement that the claim "vaccines don't cause autism" is not supported by EBM is completely false. The mass exodus of scientists under new the leadership also speaks volumes.

Charlie Kirk is dead - a thread. I hold no happiness or sorrow. Rather, I am upset about the level of unnecessary gun violence and that it is the number one cause of death in young children. I am upset that people like Charlie Kirk glorify guns over children's lives. 1/?

The Alaska State Board just motioned to put forth regulations restricting evidence-based gender affirming care and late-term abortions. This is 100% a political move and doesn't align with nationally recognized guidelines and organizations. 30-day comment period coming up. Get ready.

The health secretary has made many inaccurate statements about vaccines. But the science is clear that vaccines have dramatically reduced childhood illness, disability and death.

Please contact your senators and tell them to vote no on "Big, Beautiful Bill," especially if you live in Alaska. Contact Senator Dan Sullivan and Lisa Murkowski. We can not afford the consequences of this bill and the slash to Medicaid, which will force closure to ALHs and rural hospitals.

🚨Download CDC immunization schedules🚨 RFK Jr. just dismantled the Advisory Committee of Immunization Practices (ACIP). Removed all 17 of them with the intention to replace in the name of "public trust." Evidence doesn't change just because the president or secretary of HHS does.

if the budget cuts go through for nasa, we’re losing juno, which has given us these gorgeous images of jupiter over the years
A view taken of one of Jupiter’s polar regions. Swirling cloud formations can be seen in hues of blue, white, and orange.

Processing: Gerald Eichstadt/@_TheSeaningJunoCam captured this image from very close to Jupiter, making Ganymede’s shadow appear especially large. At the time the raw image was taken, the Juno spacecraft was about 44,000 miles (71,000 kilometers) above Jupiter’s cloud tops and 15 times closer to the planet than Ganymede.

An observer at Jupiter’s cloud tops within the oval shadow would experience a total eclipse of the Sun. Total eclipses are more common on Jupiter than Earth for several reasons: Jupiter has four major moons (Ganymede, Io, Callisto, and Europa) that often pass between Jupiter and the Sun, and since Jupiter’s moons orbit in a plane close to Jupiter’s orbital plane, the moon shadows are often cast upon the planet. Jupiter’s bands and clouds are visible, making stripes across the planet in various colors of white, orange, and blue on the poles.

This is insane. $40 billion cut to HHS. 40% of NIH budget will be gone, 27 institutes will shrink down to 8. 44% of CDC budget will disappear, all work on chronic diseases will cease. Head Start will be eliminated. SO PEOPLE WILL DIE because we want to give billionaires their tax cuts.

The Oath of the Pharmacist was changed this month to remove wording about diversity, equity, and inclusion in the wake of Trump's anti-DEI executive order. What an absolute letdown. I am so livid and unbelievably disappointed AACP and APhA. Allyship is hard - SHOW UP when it counts. This isn't it.

Pro Tip: Use a framework for your interview examples. Start by briefly setting the scene to provide context. Then, dive into your specific actions. Finally, reflect on the outcome and what you learned. This structure showcases your abilities and makes a lasting impression.

🚨 HEALTHCARE PEEPS 🚨 It's time to take action at an individual level. Teach yourself (in depth) about vaccines. Know the numbers. Educate any time you get the chance. Use your platforms. Speak out about misinformation. Our guidelines were/are at risk and it's time to matters into our own hands.
