Now, countless junior faculty like me are watching our academic dreams slip away. We’re not just losing careers—we’re losing the research breakthroughs we could have delivered. Here’s hoping this NIH crisis ends soon. #medsky #NIH23 Jan 2025 01:50 +0000at://did:plc:2uxp5euo7tfwp3n3m72pwlrl/app.bsky.feed.post/3lgerencsdk2hhttps://bsky.app/profile/jazzscrubs.bsky.social/post/3le5amfkthc2wTo all the amazing doctors, nurses, APPs, unit clerks, food service, environmental service workers in the hospital today.

But gratitude fills our home. Dancing with my daughters, putting up Christmas decorations—reminded that joy is in the little moments. ❤️ #Thanksgiving28 Nov 2024 16:25 +0000at://did:plc:2uxp5euo7tfwp3n3m72pwlrl/app.bsky.feed.post/3lbzi5t2cyc2ehttps://bsky.app/profile/jazzscrubs.bsky.social/post/3lbuhrdqm4c2dCould diabetes drugs reduce asthma attacks?
