Children can have big feelings that many adults find to be over the top. The key is to validate their emotions even if you don't understand them. Here's how, explains @finkshrink psychologytoday.com/us/blog/changi…

Anyone who downplays the threat of the anti-vaccine movement is either not paying attention or has been bamboozled. Sadly, many of us have been warning about their pseudoscientific assault on public health for years. nature.com/articles/d4158…

‘Never seen anything like this’: Trump’s team halts NIH meetings and travel nature.com/articles/d4158… "The uncertainty caused by the pause will be 'devastating for the scientific community', particularly for early-career researchers..."

My struggle with MAHA/MAGA, if you want to monetize the internet, sell your phony cures, health freedom nonsense, that’s your right it’s a 250 year American tradition. But don’t forget U.S. strength derives from our research universities/institutions that’s why we’re great nation

We can’t make social media a scapegoat- it’s one factor. If we only focus on that we won’t look at and try to address other issues like wildly excessive academic demands on kids

Across the country, one issue is on every ballot: mental health. During this election, your vote can send a message that mental health matters. Take the pledge to #Vote4MentalHealth! vote4mentalhealth.org/pledge/ #mentalhealthmatters #vote #vote2024 #stigmafree

@arghavan_salles Thanks. So many women have stories like this. Pregnancy & birth aren't neutral events. It's enraging when people think otherwise

When you go to vote just remember that they are more obsessed with regulating what women do with their own bodies than regulating lunch meat factories.

@arghavan_salles That was me! And they just kept whispering around my ears to give me more diazepam- I was screaming in pain & they said "Thats just pressure dear."

@AshleyGWinter Congratulations!

Ironically (given the current discussion here), I have a little announcement to make. After a second miscarriage and at the geriatric maternal age of 40 I am very thrilled to be pregnant again. ETA Jan 2025.

@DrvanTilburg @DrRiehl @BarbaraRoblesMD @DrHowardLiu @DrMaryAlvord @CastlTrAstonDrs @RomeGastroPsych Love this- great visual for working with all ages

Don’t believe all your thoughts! Good lesson for kids (and adults) @DrRiehl @BarbaraRoblesMD @DrHowardLiu @DrMaryAlvord @CastlTrAstonDrs @RomeGastroPsych
