Honored to give ophtho GR at @dgsomucla.bsky.social #SteinEye ✨ Trainee vignettes opened the room beautifully. I discussed how we may define clinician well-being, build a shared language for change, & use tools like #WISH to assess well-being influencers, guide action, & track what helps.

Honored to co-write this w/ @courtneyjburnsmd.bsky.social —a rising 🌟 bringing 💥 qualitative expertise to well-being science Our jobs can be minefields; but: shared experience gives us 🦸‍♀️ superpowers to help each other through the hardest parts & co-create supportive cultures @uclaanes.bsky.social

Today is National Health Workforce Well-Being Day, organized by the National Academy of Medicine. It’s a reminder of the importance of sustainable, supported work lives for all of us. We’re proud to be part of the NAM Clinician Well-Being Collaborative, advocating for lasting change.

Happy #HWWBDay! Well-being is MUCH more than ≠ burnout (& in 🏥🧑‍⚕️, burnout is epidemic). We need sustainable, well-supported careers. Yesterday filled my cup— 🔥 leaders tackling this BIG problem w/ rigor, despite strong headwinds. Let’s keep at it—for us & our patients. @nam.edu @asahq.bsky.social

About to talk to medical affairs colleagues, with the news that Bluesky is carrying more posts about new journal publications than X #bluesky #altmetrics #x #xparrot

A metric that reflects reality and the @bluesky platform as the preferred one to transmit science publications with collegial communication

In an unprecedented move, the US National Institutes of Health has begun mass terminations of research grants that fund active scientific projects because they no longer meet “agency priorities”. https://go.nature.com/4bpG2It

Exclusive: NIH to terminate hundreds of active research grants

Studies that touch on LGBT+ health, gender identity and DEI in the biomedical workforce could be terminated, according to documents obtained by Nature.
