I aspire to exude as much confidence as this little Kinesin protein strutting along a microtubule while hauling intracellular cargo.

amy diehl speaks with Zain Asher on the Epstein Files
I spoke with @CNN's Zain Asher about the casual misogyny of the Epstein files. Beyond criminal abuse, there was another harm: reinforcing male-dominated networks of money & power. The problem wasnβt access to himβit was womenβs exclusion from opportunities those networks controlled.
This from Stella Creasy is spot on.
"My mother didn't fight Mosley's fascists at Cable Street for this!" Is such a boss line.
π¨Do. not. use. individual's. actions to. attack. whole. groups.π¨
Not unless you want to take the blame for every person in your social demographic.
Bad people exist in every group. That's not an excuse to use the actions of individuals to target those groups, particularly already marginalised groups
Happy International Day of Women and Girls in Science!
Here is a blog from the amazing Dr Sekina Bakare on the @ics-updates.bsky.social website

Your work was cited multiple times in my thesis!
"This is how men behave."
YES, ASSHOLE, THAT IS WHAT WE ARE MAD ABOUT.
We want efforts directed to dismantling, rather than defending, systems of women's worth that are based on their perceived sexual attractiveness.
Because that is the same system that perpetuates sexual harassment and abuse.
It was extra special having the viva at @edinburgh-uni.bsky.social Futures Institute, formerly the Royal Infirmary - wheee I do the majority of my undergraduate training and my house jobs. Iβm standing here between Wards 14 and 15 for those who recall the old place! /end
Thank you to my excellent examiners Drs Nicola Boydell and Jeanna Parsons Leigh and chair Prof Julia Lawton
And so many thanks to @iculone.bsky.social and Prof Jeni Harden for their supervision, helping my work move from the descriptive to the interpretive 2/

V happy to have passed my PhD viva today with no corrections!
Spending the last five years examining how gender shoes the experience of training and working in ICM has been so rewarding
Qualitative research is challenging, fascinating and actual lots and lots of fun! 1/

When you register your name in the Icelandic phonebook you can choose to state your profession. And they have a pretty loose definition of what exactly a profession entails.
This person for example has opted for βΓΎjΓ³Γ°hetjaβ. It means βNational Heroβ.
What nonsense is this? Are we really going to have a debate about tax/spending on these terms? I donβt have children or living parents, yet cheerfully pay Council Tax for education and adult social care BECAUSE I LIVE IN SOCIETY

Having said this I am not sure whether starting iv sedation infusion at the point of bolusing NMBs is standard in N America and if so, that fixes the problem
However with roc, pt may be aware after multiple attempts to intubate. They are paralysed which makes ongoing airway Mx easier but ongoing sedation is needed to prevent awareness
@davidsonofaaron.bsky.social wrote about being aware during ICU intubation in @thetimes.com and itβs sobering reading

People are sharing this, horrified, even though this was Suella Braverman's entire act back when she was a government minister and she isn't one anymore.
A bird's-eye view of a former Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp showing a wide dirt pathway flanked by parallel rows of barbed-wire fences. Groups of visitors walk along the path, surrounded by the remnants of brick structures and barracks, now reduced to foundations. Green grass contrasts with the somber history of the site, as the path leads toward a guard tower in the distance.
Auschwitz was at the end of a process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers.
This hatred gradually developed: from ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.
Auschwitz took time.
Yes am aware
I posted about #IWD2026
Bluesky peeps taught me the corporate '.com' site is bull****, unconnected to the UN or feminist movement, they unilaterally decide a theme (different to the UNWomen's campaign)

Avoid the Give to Gain campaign
Pulmonary and critical care clinicians π©Ί (among others) do you know the implications of these being deployed in your patients' communities?
Especially for our patients, with reactive airways or limited pulmonary reserve?
Where will it stop
Yeah, nothing about this is good or worth celebrating. Twitter had such value in terms of reach both for organisations and individuals
I do think this is a positive move from both these organisations
Quietly confident other Royal Colleges and prof societies will follow

Alex Pretti "used to tell people off when they made sexist comments to female physicians. He bought me coffee when I had a really bad day as an intern...I laughed alongside him daily. He made a point to teach medical residents without judgement, but with a smile on his face and a joke."
