One of my proudest moments: a talk with UCSF's Dr. Sue Carlisle, ex-officio Dean for Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital, about her pathway to leadership. Super inspirational. @CSAHQ #CSAVitalTimesPodcast buzzsprout.com/2009442/113058…

@HanlonWalsh @AtxOpen I love her. is there any scoop about why they reunited? I thought that Ena Shibahara was playing with Vera Zvonareva this season?

38-year-old Shuko Aoyama might be my favorite WTA doubles player to watch in person. She’s only 5-foot-1 but moves around the net like she’s 6-feet tall. This week she’s reunited with her old partner, Ena Shibahara, as the No. 2 seeds in Austin @AtxOpen 🇯🇵

@Ritaagarwal6 It would have to be ultra secure data, though. It would be so easy for health insurance companies, for example, to stratify risk and premium costs, based on someone’s frailty index

How do I sign up ?

so excited about the opportunity to delve into utilizing intraoperative EEG monitoring to impact postoperative cognitive function after general anesthesia. Delirium? Dementia? The future is now for high-level anesthesia interventions.

@cbrennansports yes. in order to participate in USTA (United States Tennis Association) governance, I was required to do Safe Sport training. I feel like it's all a sham, then? - concepts like sexual abuse, coercion, retaliation, bullying? I thought those are absolutely not condoned.

What an awful message the sport of figure skating just sent to sexual abuse survivors and victims, and parents and kids who want to participate in a safe sport. Column coming…

Important data

people debate whether Medicine is a "calling" or a "profession". Well, I do think Physicians have a higher responsibility - one that they swore to when they graduated - and once that trust is lost via hucksterism and capitalist greed, one doesn't get to go back.

@Rainmaker1973 why would you amplify misleading claims like this. Lots of women out there are dying from breast cancer, no matter how much "clean living" they do. I hope you can sleep at night knowing you are preying on their emotional vulnerabilities.

Just 28 days without parabans and phthalates turned off breast cancer genes. Researchers followed a group of healthy women who routinely used common personal-care products containing parabens and phthalates—chemicals found in everything from shampoo and lotion to makeup and fragrance. These compounds can act like estrogen in the body, and excess estrogen-like activity has long been tied to higher breast-cancer risk. For 28 days, 36 women did one simple thing: they switched to paraben- and phthalate-free alternatives. No drugs, no diet changes—just cleaner cosmetics and toiletries. The results were striking: urine tests confirmed that levels of the chemicals’ breakdown products plummeted, proving exposure had been sharply reduced. But the bigger revelation came from breast-tissue biopsies taken before and after the switch. In just four weeks, the women’s breast cells began behaving less like precancerous or cancerous cells. They regained the ability to respond to normal “cell-death” signals (a safeguard tumors often disable). Protective estrogen receptors, which are typically shut down in breast cancer, switched back on. Gene-expression patterns shifted away from high-risk profiles and toward healthier patterns. This is the first human evidence that routine exposure to these everyday chemicals can nudge normal breast cells in a cancer-like direction—and, crucially, that removing the exposure can begin to reverse the process remarkably quickly. It’s not definitive proof that changing your body wash will prevent breast cancer. But it does show that the body notices—and starts to repair itself—almost immediately when you stop putting these substances on your skin.

@DrDGrossman I was told that California joined WHO in its stead, though? God I hope that’s not just a rumor.

The United States has formally withdrawn from the World Health Organization (WHO) and terminated nearly $280 million in U.S. government funding to the WHO. This is a reckless move that will set public health back globally. washingtonpost.com/health/2026/01…

@luccamazzie11 I wish the truth would also be forced to come out. Katie deserves that. #NoBullying

The Meyer family and Stanford University have reached an resolution following a recent lawsuit.

@PHShriver @MattFutterman @TheAthletic Ben and Trinity both proudly talk the conservative talk that has gotten the USA into the state it's in currently. So, no, his ascension at AO does not help me to temporarily forget my heartaches about my country. Thanks.

@MattFutterman @TheAthletic Belief is the first step- then step by step to get you where you want to be.

For those who need a break from the heartache that is America, I bring you Ben Shelton, who believes this time against the best of the best can be different, even if it's at night. @TheAthletic nytimes.com/athletic/69989…

@soledadobrien This feels like a moment from “Lord of the Rings”. It’s time to call up the courage that we don’t think we possess, for the sake of our future.

@karagoucher it makes me so angry. why do a sport and not respect the integrity intrinsic to pursuing excellence? and... heartbroken about Minneapolis. So much anger and meanness in this world.

Hard for me to care right now with all that's going on in Minnesota, but positive for CERA, a long lasting EPO. Korir has placed in the top 5 at the last 5 runnings of the NYC Marathon, including a win in 2021. 2:06:57 marathon PB.

@VenusGauff OMG I would love to see Shibahara and Zvonareva as a pair - that's a lot of talent, skills, and tenacity.

Dr. @Ritaagarwal6 is a star! And her advocacy for safety in pediatric dental anesthesia needs to be heard.

@AliceinDCland @LukeLRPS I get it. Again, I also think that me seeing a photo of someone with potential issues … to allow it to go unnoticed seems like condoning it. But it’s a difficult situation. We need a sociologist or psychiatrist/psychologist or anthropologist for input.

@LudwigLin @LukeLRPS I’m just not sure what random strangers on the internet commenting on a professional athlete’s perceived weight can do to stop REDS- many better, safer things we can all do in our communities to ensure young athletes are properly fueling

if you're a person who has thoughts about Parker Valby's weight, raise your hand, i just wanna talk

@AliceinDCland @LukeLRPS When people look shockingly thin, is it still not OK to raise concerns? Because, to not say something almost would seem to normalize or enable REDS?

@LukeLRPS People making comments on women athletes’ bodies is not exactly a rare phenomenon
