While single-issue platforms can be very dangerous, I appreciate free speech defense because it so often crosses political encampments, demonstrating a kind of ideological integrity that few issues have anymore. Not affiliated with FIRE, just came across them on my feed.

"I understand having to do more with less, that's reasonable. What's not is taking this chainsaw approach, which they obviously admit when they...decided "we fired the wrong people, we've got to bring them back in". Why is this being jammed down the pipe so rushed and sloppily?"

I'm the one doing the nursing/allied health workshop @UFNursing folks should really come to it! ;)
We have some great introductory workshops being offered in February including Intro to Nursing/Allied Health Literature, Intro to PubMed and Intro to Linux with more coming up in March. Take a look at all of the upcoming workshops and register: go.ufl.edu/fub5nn8. @uflib

This feels apropos for @SoChapMLA as we're finishing out our conference in NOLA. #medlibs

The most gemini thing about me is that my go-to drink is often a vodka redbull. I want my body to be just as confused as I am.

Weird benefit of a hospital-adjacent job: all the public areas have seating, even the hallways, in case you need a convenient place to chill. It's mostly because of fall risk and waiting rooms, but still - a nice perk! #medlibs

Whelp, today I learned that there are multiple studies examining the use of tilapia skin as a xenograft for burn patients. We really all just went too hard for Animorphs as kids and now science is reaping the consequences. #PreoccupiedWithCould #medlibs

I found out Tina Turner died because my streaming music service suddenly had a "Remembering Tina Turner" section. [Insert clever remark about late stage capitalism and the commodification of death here.]

I would argue with the definition of Generative AI as creating “something completely new”. Certainly, what it creates is transformative, but it is still entirely based on the dataset that it was trained on. #MLASLA23 #NLMUpdate

I’ve done this multiple times - it’s a great way of showing that you’re very serious about methodology best practices, and can often make them rethink their strategy.

Coauthorship of SRs
Sometimes you can say: i ll help you but I don’t want my name on it. I ve had times where patrons went in a direction i didn’t agree with i refused co authorship and then they changed their mind, and i did co-author.

Next time you want to teach a very strong object lesson about communicating simply, force people to spell their conversations to each other. Another great activity for health science students! ##MLASLA23 #LibrarianImprov

While potentially not as full of hot goss and spilt tea as the PubMed Update, another must-see session for every #MLASLA23 attendee.
For those attending #MLASLA23, join at 10:30 a.m. ET for an NLM Update. This session will include a video from @NLMdirector & presentations by Dianne Babski, NLM Associate Director for Library Operations, & Martha Meacham, NNLM Project Director. loom.ly/ynwe5go

While the dandelion metaphor is very apt, I’m pro-dandelion lawns!! They are some of the earliest bloomers/growers in northern climes, and thus crucial food for bees!! #MLASLA23 #SaveTheBees
