When the tow truck driver pulls up and ask “how’s it going?” 😒

It’s the night of the VP debate and Shematologist, MD did NOT litter my TL with Tim Walz jokes, and I’m left here seriously wondering why I even bother to keep this damn bird app on my phone.

I spent 11 years in Minneapolis to see what life is like for the nearly 400000 people who live there. What I found was a beautiful city that some people can’t seem to stop lying about for their own gain.

Well, I did the thing. Now we wait.

I’ve decided to give 🔵🌦️ a 2nd try. Not leaving here anytime soon, but would mind doing so if I had a good alternative. If you’re there, come find me and say hi. If you’re not, consider joining.

Looking forward to discussing how we support the adoption of #DecentralizedClinicalTrials at Mayo Clinic. If you’re going to be at #DTRA2024 make sure we get a chance to connect! #DCTs #ClinicalResearch

Excited to share our research on the impact of sex hormones on cardiovascular physiology in healthy sedentary adults. Thank you to my mentors and for all the insightful discussions with colleagues at the conference AHA Science UTSW Cardiology Fellowship InovaCVfellows

Someone on a call just suggested that “maybe we need to schedule a WebEx on that subject with all the various stakeholders” A WebEx. 😳

The Trump admin playbook:

The ironic thing about being outraged over NIH #indirect rates, is that SO much of that “administrative bloat” is the result of federal requirements to prove we’re not wasting grant money.

Top 10 ways American Science can survive the 15% indirect cap: 1.Breed special transgenic mice that can run for days in tiny hamster wheel turbines to keep lights on 2.Get athletic program staff to donate 1% of their salaries to research thus raising 100 billion dollars a year.

PETA has realized they can use MAGAs to push their agenda, and as detrimental as the outcomes could be, I can’t help but laugh at the irony.

Scientist: “I’m working on therapies to save newborn lives” MAGA: “You’re on the wrong side of public opinion”

Wish somebody would have warned me before I passed high school biology that doing so would preclude me from ever holding public office.

It’s practically June and we’re still here.

Imagine a public figure saying something this outrageous just a decade ago. 🤦‍♂️
