Hello to all the people who used to be bold, yet academia made you afraid. May you find your voice again one day.

"PTSD, long Covid and a paltry pay offer: three nurses on how the pandemic changed them" Read this solid report The Guardian & imagine it multiplied thousands of times all across the U.S. That is the crisis that nursing is facing. #NoCareWithoutNurses theguardian.com/society/2021/a…

This post is a great example of how investing in #CancerResearch can help us tackle major #GlobalHealth threats, like #HIV/#AIDS, that go beyond cancer itself. And another reason why the #NationalCancerAct of 1971 was so important. #NothingWillStopUs cancer.gov/about-nci/orga…

Grateful for #mentors at MDACC where the many of the solutions are already in place! nytimes.com/interactive/20…

Really excited to read this new book from my old friend Ricardo Nuila, a doctor who wrote about the publicly funded hospital in Houston where he’s worked for a decade & how it can be a model in a state and country where tens of millions are locked out of health care.

in a city that is just one flood away from catastrophe, this stunt by the republicans on commissioners court is unconscionable. the choice is clear: vote Lina Hidalgo, Lesley Briones, + Adrian Garcia
