Today we’ll talk about Warfarin!
The year is 1920.
Farmers across North America & Canada notice that their cattle 🐮 are haemorrhaging after minor procedures & sometimes spontaneously, causing them to bleed to death. (cont’d)

Eric Schmidt says intelligence is about to decouple from us.
“The computers are now doing self-improvement.. They don’t have to listen to us anymore.”
Within six years: a mind smarter than the sum of humans -- scaled, recursive, free. We have no language for what’s coming.

The fact that the federal minimum wage has stagnated at $7.25 since 2009 is atrocious.
But it's worse than that.
Adjusted for inflation, the federal minimum wage is worth 28% less today than it was worth in 2009.
It’s worth 41% less than in 1968.
An absolute disgrace.

In my first animal story for @TheAtlantic, Flaco the escaped zoo owl might not be surviving on the hunting "instinct" everyone's discussing—which is exactly why he has captured New York City's heart

I was reviewing a concept and pulled up my old step 1 physiology book, found this nice note by the one and only @SeeFisch .
I owe part of my success to you, Conrad! #teacher #medtwitter

As the zoo staff played recorded hoots and tried to capture Flaco the Eurasian Eagle-Owl, he went about his usual business of hunting rodents in Central Park on Thursday night.

Flaco perching high above Bethesda Terrace last night. We underestimated you, Flaco. I hope we do right by you.

We are relieved and overjoyed that Flaco the Eurasian Eagle-Owl, who had spent his entire roughly 13-year life in captivity, has learned to obtain prey and feed himself after a week in the wild of Central Park.
I am very honored to have been appointed as faculty Clinical Assistant Professor at @HMHSchoolofMed !
Excited for this new chapter !

My baby's cancer may have returned and my insurance, @Cigna, is refusing to help cover a PET scan so we can find out if it has, and if needed, continue our work to save his life. No qualms about putting my child's life on the line for their bottom line. He is not even 2 years old
