History always has a lesson.

I love my home in Vermont and am so so proud of the people we send to Congress. But today, my homeland pride from NJ shines bright- Senator Booker @booker.senate.gov YOU WERE PHENOMENAL!

If health insurance companies were actually “healthcare providers” they would be using technology to find new ways to save lives, not using technology to develop AI that denies claims and generates profits faster. Health insurance is not healthcare. We need Medicare for All.

This work is phenomenal- please share this piece by @fumikochino.bsky.social and @nathangray.bsky.social far and wide. Health insurance cannot be run like a casino where the house always wins.

"For both patients and providers, prior authorization can feel like an unfair game they are designed to lose." Honored to work w/ Dr @nathangray.bsky.social on a graphic op-ed out now @usatoday.com on how #PriorAuth can leave some patients literally dying in pain. www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

"Repeat after me: there was no 'landslide'. There was no 'blowout'. There was no 'sweeping' mandate given to Trump by the electorate. The numbers don’t lie." My new Guardian op-ed on the new GOP election lie - and why it's important to rebut it! I brought (lots of) receipts:

Donald Trump didn’t win by a historic landslide. It’s time to nip that lie in the bud | Mehdi Hasan

In 2024, we have a new post-election lie – Trump didn’t just win, Republicans say, but he won big. He won a landslide. That’s false

Sometimes the combination of arrogance and ignorance is breathtaking. Yes, US health care has high admin costs; that's because it relies so much on private insurers. Govt-run health insurance has much lower overhead

People hate health insurance companies with a passion. They’re not laughing because someone died—they’re laughing because the system that crushed them finally took a hit.

Thou Shalt Not Deny People Health Insurance

Capitalism and healthcare do not mix.

HAPPENING NOW: DOZENS OF TRANS ADVOCATES AND ALLIES STAGE “BATHROOM SIT-IN” ACROSS SPEAKER JOHNSON OFFICE FOR IMPLEMENTING MACE’S BIGOTED BATHROOM POLICY WITH BANNERS THAT SAY “STOP PISSING ON OUR RIGHTS” AND “FLUSH BATHROOM BIGOTRY” DEMANDING AN END TO ANTI-TRANS LEGISLATION. #BanBathroomBigotry

Health insurance is wild. You pay every month for months, years, decades, in case something catastrophic happens. Then it does and the insurers are like yeah no not THAT kind of catastrophe.

We are so excited to welcome these three awesome physicians to our hematology/oncology fellowship here at UVM!

Scientists, academics, researchers: We’re excited to share that @altmetric.com is now tracking mentions of your research on Bluesky! 🧪

Altmetric@altmetric.com · 2y ago

There are already many articles for which there is more attention on Bluesky than on other comparable micro-blogging sites, meaning the academic community and the general public have clearly adopted Bluesky as one of its core places to disseminate and discuss new research. A Place of Joy.

Ohio Governor Signs Bathroom Restrictions for Transgender Students

The state is one of at least a dozen states to set restrictions on bathrooms for transgender students at public schools.

We have so much to learn about why our immunotherapies have such varied responses in real situations. This research offers some insights that will help us continue to figure it out. #oncsky

Only a subset of patients respond to immunotherapy Why? Which ones? We conducted an unbiased analysis of response biomarkers and found that hundreds of possible biomarkers collapse into five latent, orthogonal factors that underlie immunotherapy response. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

As a head and neck cancer doctor, I hope we see the same for HPV related oropharynx cancers in the future. The HPV vaccine is not just for girls!

MAHA. Not only is this an acronym that already has an anxiety-provoking reaction to hem/onc docs at least, but fixing chronic disease is a challenging outcome to measure in a 4yr term.

Love this. Time to make BlueSky the SoMe home of #academics, #medicine, and #science

Altmetric@altmetric.com · 2y ago

We strongly suggest that academic publishers and other platforms that host research rapidly implement a Share to Bluesky button for their articles. Here's how: docs.bsky.app/docs/advance... #AcademicSky #HigherEd #Altmetrics

Of course some of this is related to who has made the move to @bsky.app but I’m loving the presence of #womeninoncology here! #oncosky #oncsky
