I just saw 'Hamilton' at the Orpheum for the first time this week; I'd never even listened to it. I was very impressed by the musical brilliance and diversity, but more so saddened that it is unequivocally sexist.

A pandemic cannot be beaten without robust national health systems. However, funds committed to the Access to #COVID19 Tools Accelerator are skewed towards vaccines; $3.9 billion versus $360 million for health systems. Ann Danaiya Usher for World Report: hubs.li/H0DHVS50

Last week’s attack is cause for grief and outrage. But it should not be cause for shock.

I couldn't have one without the other. I painted @JoeBiden because he stutters just like me. He showed me that speaking slowly kinda masks a stutter.

Excellent @TheLancet piece by the extraordinary physician @gradydoctor. 👇🏼
"Acknowledging every aspect of the barriers for Black Americans to enrollment in clinical trials is critical to moving forward. We are not simply untrusting—we remember. And there is still far too much evidence of Black lives not mattering in society."

Despite the challenges facing us this year, a historic number of Americans have voted in this election. Their votes deserve to be counted.
Please everyone take care today! And here are some tips from colleagues at UCSF and Columbia.
Hoping these tips help you & your teams weather election stress & the storm up ahead.
Grateful to work on this with my brilliant @UCSFPsychiatry & @ColumbiaPsych colleagues @EFitelson @Dr_Epel @laurylmayer @MargoPumar & Dr. Mike Devlin. @sfchronicle

How about you?

UCSF psychologist @Dr_Epel, PhD, worked with colleagues at the UCSF Department of Psychiatry to create the site. Rather than just listing resources or bullet points, it offers advice on a range of mental health issues.

Today is #WorldMentalHealthDay, and @UCSFPsychiatry has put together a site focused on mental well-being during the pandemic. But it's applicable for dealing with all kinds of stresses -- and for cultivating mindfulness.
A thread.

Grateful for your leadership too Kirsten!
Gratitude -
For @ucsf & the strong statement of support for tomorrow’s #ShutDownSTEM from Chancellor Sam Hawgood, drawing attention to systemic racism in #STEM and academia.
We have a lot still to be done @UCSF, but leadership like this matters
