Looking for a way to channel your anger right now? Here are two suggestions for how to take this fight to the state level, now that the Supreme Court has erased federal protections:

Congratulations to the resident doctors at UVM, UMass and Stanford who have voted, overwhelmingly, to unionize. These doctors believe its unfair to their patients and themselves when they are forced to work up to 80 hours a week at very inadequate pay. They're right.

When Paul Farmer died in February, it became clear to the world that he had saved millions of lives. He did so by valuing every life equally and refusing to accept constraints. Many of us enter medicine hoping to change the world; Farmer actually did it. https://t.co/KF7RqMmuYm

Recent report in @AAOjournal about women representation within subspecialty societies in #Ophthalmology. Although there is much to celebrate, we need continued support and dedicated to achieve gender parity. Great work by @KimWingesMD & co-authors

Has #wordle become harder since migrating to the @nytimes? @ameeazad and I tried to empirically answer this question. Using the @Google Ngram Viewer, we found no significant difference in difficulty since Wordle was acquired. Detailed methods and results below #dailywordleclub

My hospital gave holiday bonuses to all >1000 hr employees! Oh, wait. Interns - on the frontlines of the pandemic, mental health crisis, & unprecedented volumes - were left out because we are listed as only working 40 hrs/wk. Labor exploitation is alive & well. 🤦‍♀️ #medtwitter
