@KirstenAFreeman@TomVargheseJr@cardioPCImom Last week my daughter asked me if her uncle, a med-peds physician, was a nurse. A few years ago my son asked if boys could be doctors. Times are changing. Now we need to fight to be sure our earned gains aren’t taken from us. nytimes.com/2016/03/20/ups…
My daughter loves putting on my loupes and scrub hats. Here’s to hoping one day people won’t be surprised by a woman heart surgeon (like they were Wednesday when @cardioPCImom and I went to talk to family)🫀 #womeninthoracicsurgery
@KirstenAFreeman@WomenInThoracic@cardioPCImom My daughter loves that too! But she is sad, because I have loupes similar to my glasses so she cant see a thing with them 🤓 Hopefully she gets her own loupes someday if she wishes so!
@hibsumra@civo05 One advice regarding doing recidency + PhD + having kids at the same time: it was hard, I should have waited for few years and do PhD after having kids. Even if u CAN do it, it still may not be best for u and your family.
@hibsumra@civo05 I’m Cardiothoracic surgeon, PhD. I have 2 kids (3yo + 8yo) and a husband who enables for me to combine professional and family life. We use cleaning, grocery etc services. I’d love to have more time for taking care of myself, but happy as it is now.
If you are a female in surgery - can you please reply to this tweet with why females CAN balance both being surgeons and doing Life (aka motherhood, be a wife, have hobbies, see family, maintain mental/physical health) ? #WomeninSurgery#MedTwitter
'Russia says "Unless you give us exactly what we want we may well use nuclear weapons on you". You could not find a clearer example of international terrorism if you tried.'
Noam Chomsky.
Beaten by the Ukrainian Armed Forces on the battlefield, coward Putin responds with terror against peaceful Ukrainian cities and civilians.
We will not waiver 🇺🇦✊🏼
#ArmUkraineNow with air and missile defense systems!
Recognize Russia for what it is: #RussiaIsATerroristState!
FM @Haavisto: Finland strongly condemns Russian missile strikes against civilians across #Ukraine. Indiscriminate targeting of civilians is a war crime. Finland will continue our firm support to Ukraine. Russia must stop its illegal invasion and leave Ukraine. #StandWithUkraine
Over 300,000 Russians fled their country within a week. They now have freedom of speech.
Where are their anti war protests? Their posts condemning the war? Anything? Exactly.
Vain n. 3 % meistä luovuttaa verta, vaikka valtaosa saisi.
Verta ei voi valmistaa keinotekoisesti, joten uusia luovuttajia tarvitaan Suomen verihuollon turvaamiseksi!
We must not get used to violations of international law and human rights. Not close our eyes to the growing needs of the vulnerable. Not sleepwalk into a climate and biodiversity catastrophe. Nor should we lose sight of hope: There is still time to act.

Girls in Afghanistan continue to be locked out of the classroom.
This is an unjustifiable violation of equal rights that damages the entire country.
Girls belong in school.
