We did it! “Poverty and Culture” is being retracted!!! May this be the last time a journal is so cavalier about what it publishes. Racism has absolutely no place in academia. #MedRacism #MedTwitter #MedBikini

Finished my last 12 hr night shift of residency this weekend! What a journey it’s been! I feel confident in my skills as a Radiologist! Graduation in a month! Always learning! 🩻
We have to make it regardless!
Let’s go family!

After finishing training, I was inundated with “Hey, Jimmy, do you want to…”
… join this committee
… write a book chapter
… help with this study
… teach students in X or Y
I felt so much pressure to say yes.
Until I created my Hell Yes Policy

I’m so honored and thrilled to join the JAMA editorial team!
Earlier this month we welcomed @DrMelissaSimon as a new JAMA Associate Editor. Dr Simon is a member of the @NUFeinbergMed Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, where her research aims at promoting healthy equity among low income, medically underserved women.

I'm so tired of Black folks in leadership positions being called "intimidating." What attributes are intimidating? Our speech? Thoughts? Expressions?

Cannot begin to describe how cool it is to be honored by @AACR, @VictoriasSecret, & @Pelotonia at #AACR23 along side such phenomenal women @KemiDoll and @ChemtaiMungo. GTG rolling deep! – at Florida, USA

1/3 In Elon’s Twitter, people who are targeted by hate speech will still see the hate speech… just everyone else won’t. People can harass and threaten you and the algorithm will protect them, hiding their abuse and *your* trauma from sight so that they can’t be held accountable.

Ye “finessed” his way out of being a billionaire? lmao 🥴 are y’all okay?
Ye’s net worth dropped from 2B to $400 million in less than 2 weeks, and he lost hundreds of supporters, networks & business partners bc of antisemitism and hate speech. Y’all want to support him so bad.

Get yourself a healthcare system that 📣advertises📣 PrEP, not one that panics when you ask to start it. #thisis2022 #tweetiatrician

When I was a first year medical resident, I became a mother.
Right before I delivered, I was the star intern.
But when I came back 4 weeks after giving birth, the Attendings were asking:
"What happened to Jia?"

People racialized as Black been talking about structural racism for 50-leven years. Scholars racialized as White discovered it last year and the funding flood gates opened up.

Early years of the HIV pandemic framed HIV/AIDS as a ‘gay man disease.’ Women, and especially Black and brown heterosexual women, suffered from this narrow framing. Even now, the rates of pre exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) use among high risk women are lower than they should be. 1/
