Physician-scientist who studies a rare type of cancer. Science has done a great deal for our world...I enjoy talking to those who reject science for religion.

Excellent post.
How can we have a proper debate when we no longer speak the same language? I was about to start work on this commission, when in came an email from Twitter. They’d received a complaint that the following tweet violated their standards. “Sex is not the same as gender.” But it’s

She’s. So. Close.
Here’s what I want to know… If it was rigged in 2020 and Trump lost, why would it be any different in 2024? Feels like we’re heading down the same damn path and then when it blows up in front of our faces are we just gonna spend the next several years bitching about it again?

Today is the final collapse of the Arecibo Observatory. In 2020, it lost its iconic 305-meter dish. Now, all the remaining instruments and computers will be closing down. Only a few people would be left there to transition to an educational center in the following months. 😕

Fascinating thread. And, no, the answer isn’t “they sent the probe at night”
I don't know what you think, but for me, The Parker Solar Probe, "touching" the sun, has been one of the great achievements of our time. But, why didn't it melt? 1/ #Thread

Leave it to Carl Sagan, almost half a century ago, to explain the greenhouse effect very nicely.

You would never have heard of Vincent van Gogh if it wasn't for his sister-in-law Jo, who deserves to be better known. Because she turned Vincent from an obscure Dutch painter into the world's most famous and beloved artist. How? Well, this is the story of the other van Gogh...

Albert Einstein on his school and Education system💡 It bored me. The teachers behaved like sergeants. I wanted to learn what I wanted to know, but they wanted me to learn for the exam. What I hated most was the competitive system there, and especially sports. Because of this, I

Great thread!
This painting has no brush strokes — it is made from over 2,000,000 individual dots of colour. And though this may look like nothing more than a sunny afternoon in Paris, it has a much darker hidden meaning...

Ruptured AAA seems like it could be a nice way to go. There certainly are worse ways.
In 1948, at the age of 69, Albert Einstein underwent surgery for an abdominal aortic aneurysm. However, his condition had already worsened, so the doctor decided to wrap the vessel with cellophane to prevent further dilation. Scientific studies of abdominal aortic aneurysm,

Now here’s a crazy hot take.
@kreme_puff @krassenstein @LiviRichelle What country do you live in??? Because we have something called child support in the United States, which is mandatory. So to say men are NEVER held accountable in supporting their children is not only a fallacy, but more importantly, you're just gaslighting for zero reason.

It’s been *forever* since my last Physics Twitter Thread 😳. But today I ran into a beautiful artistic physics demo in my hometown that inspired me to write a few lines. I’m sure you’ve all seen these massive floating granite balls. How do they work? 1/13

Imagine you were born in 1900. When you're 14, World War I begins and ends when you're 18 with 22 million dead. Soon after a global pandemic, the Spanish Flu, appears, killing 50 million people. And you're alive and 20 years old. When you're 29 you survive the global economic

Nice thread on the Oort Cloud.
Imagine a massive celestial bubble made of ice and dust surrounding our Solar System. That’s the Oort cloud. The Oort Cloud lies at the very edges of the Solar system. It’s so far away that it can’t be seen directly and remains unexplored by spacecraft. 1/

I have no idea what this is. But he’s right. It’s a great intro for comp biology.
This is the best video to introduce a computational biology course. There will never be a better one https://t.co/K59A2iQWFU

Good thread.
As I pulled my resident aside after a tough day doing regional anesthesia, I asked the same first question I always ask when I have clinical competency concerns, “How are things at home?” Most of the time the answer is “fine.” This time the answer was “I have cancer.” 1/
