I had that happen to me several times by male physicians at conferences. My nurse scientist friends likewise report this phenomenon. (Not a male or physician hater; have quite a few of both in my family). It certainly takes some confidence to do something like that.
Many children and US public health in general will be harmed. Thanks to professional organizations like American Academy of Pediatrics @ameracadpeds.bsky.social who are leading with evidence instead of politics. Trump dives headfirst back into vaccine minefield www.axios.com/2026/08/11/t...
Trump dives headfirst back into vaccine minefield
The new order suggests Trump isn't through with ordering significant changes after being stalled by courts.

Great example (albeit unintended) of his tenure at the CDC. An overall negative effect on US public health.
Elizabeth Jacobs, PhD@elizabethjacobs.bsky.social · 2w agoI just noticed that if you look over cardboard Jay’s right shoulder in this shameful tableau, you can see on the video monitor that there is a memorial service for Officer David Rose going on the same day. Officer Rose tried to protect CDC employees from the man shooting at them and was killed.
Every time he blames someone, he’s the culprit.

Glad you posted this. Most people don’t realize how ridiculous that whole thing is.
Hoodlum 🇺🇸@nothoodlum.bsky.social · 3w agoRand Paul is a fraud. He founded his own ophthalmology certification board, the National Board of Ophthalmology (NBO), with his wife and father-in-law as officers. His “board” isn’t recognized by the major specialty board organization or accepted by most hospitals.
Dr Fauci is a physician scientist who served our country well for many years. He did his best guiding us as Covid evidence evolved. He’s a good man. Rand Paul is misguided and vindictive. His attacks on Dr Fauci are ridiculous and confirm Rand Paul for the fool he is. A small man with a vendetta.

For each additional pt assigned to a med-surg nurse, 8% increase in fatality risk at 30 days, 4% increase in readmission. Safe nurse staffing based on national standards saves lives. In maternity care, that means AWHONN nurse staffing standards (2022). www.beckershospitalreview.com/quality/pati...

Language matters! So much of the way things are framed are subtle but clear messages of inequality and subservience.
Dr. Mar@boldnewme.bsky.social · 4mo agoThis is exactly why language matters: “women were given the vote” frames equality as a gift from men, instead of hard won political power extracted through organized resistance. Nobody gave women anything. Women fought, marched, strategized, endured violence, went to prison and died for it.

Allison Gill@muellershewrote.com · 4mo ago23 people could stop this genocidal war criminal. That’s it. 23. 20 Republican senators and 3 republican reps in the house and he’d be out of politics forever. But they won’t. They’re addicted to power. A drug so strong they’d rather see a civilization die than give it up.

Why don’t more journalists point this out? They likely have all of the Epstein files including videos of trump, plus other atrocities we don’t know of yet, and massive financial crimes. I’ve always thought Putin and Netanyahu were blackmailing trump. That would explain a lot of his actions.
rosebanditquinn@rosebanditquinn.bsky.social · 5mo agoThe real problem is that we have a president who is being blackmailed by Netanyahu and Putin. Whatever it is, it must be pretty bad. Why on earth would a GOP Congress go along with this? The ultimate answer is money.
Don’t forget to include Melania !! share.newsbreak.com/hgfma5x0?s=i16

it's wild to be rooting FOR big pharmaceutical companies. RFK Jr needs to be ground into a fine paste
What Do You Call a Nursing Home Without a Nurse? www.medpagetoday.com/nursing/nurs... If you pay trump enough cash, rules that you don’t want to pay for can be rescinded. Ex: requiring an RN to be on site at nursing homes. Their name implies a nurse is there to give care, but now an RN isn’t needed

Chantzy@chantzy.bsky.social · 7mo agoSo if you survive Measles, like many other airborne viruses, you're at risk of long-term sequelae and immune dysfunction (or amnesia for Measles). Tell me again how this anti-vax admin is making America healthy again?
It's completely insane to me that it's even up for debate among senators that Kristi Noem should resign. Every lawmaker and newspaper editorial board in the country should be calling for her resignation. She has entirely failed in this role. She is incompetent. She is a disaster.
At least a handful of times I’ve received reviews that told me I should be familiar with my own work and cite it to make my manuscript better. I guess it’s kind of flattering. Fortunately the editors overlooked these reviewer comments.
