So many echoes of my first year in as an attending… excellent to read now and think about regardless of what season of your career you are embarking on.
The hardest lessons after training aren’t always in the OR or clinic. 🙏 I wrote this essay for anyone navigating their first year as an attending. “Unseen Scars” in @JAMA_current 🔗 https://t.co/0e09Zx1nb6

I’m excited to share our new @Nature paper 📝, which provides strong evidence that the walkability of our built environment matters a great deal to our physical activity and health. Details in thread.🧵 https://t.co/omO3YcHrvG

To restore the gut microbiome after antibiotics, the right diet (rich in carbohydrates, low in fat) was a better approach than fecal microbial transplants (in the experimental model) https://t.co/OJb9pTz2px

Instead of listing my publications, as the year draws to an end, I want to put pressure on the commonplace assumption that productivity must always increase. Good research is disruptive and thinking time is central to high quality scholarship and necessary for disruptive research

Pure gold from @tomhouse: 1. It's heartbreaking to watch your kids fail but it's good to let them fail 2. Instead of dwelling on results, embrace the power of play 3. We parent out of love, but coaching our kids may be doing them a disservice https://t.co/QH1dDauWxB

Coach Steve spoke with Tom House, who's worked with Tom Brady and Drew Brees, about the ways to be a better sports parent for young athletes.

This. Resonates a lot with me and likely many others. I need a constant reminder to myself and my fam that we can do anything, just not everything all at once.
The typical response to an overwhelming workload is to put in longer hours. Don't do that.

Crazy creative! The third of Twitter that’s frankly just enjoyable content.
There’s this guy on TikTok who does nursery rhymes in the style of his favourite bands and the production standards are insane. This Mumford and Sons style rendition of You Are My Sunshine is genuinely as good as a song they would release

In my 10+ years of co-survivorship, doing life with @DGlaucomflecken through 2 separate cancers, 1 SCA and fighting off his death with 10 mins of #CPR, only ONE (1) of the medical professionals we interacted with has ever asked how I was doing. Meet Roger.

Our oldest son, about to turn 6 and fascinated by all things poop related: “I want a dung beetle for my birthday so I can feed it my poop!” #hesnotwrong #futureGIdoc? @DChu80

Interesting study and wonder if this translates to surgery too. Superspecialization has a place but when?
What makes a champion? New analysis of over 6,000 athletes finds those who got to world-class, had during their youth: -more multisport than specialized practice -started their main sport later -accumulated less practice -Initially progressed slower than national class peers
