I abandoned this virtual swamp a while back but I've dragged my heels on the transition to the blue butterfly app. Finally made the move today. If anyone is still on this thing and wants to find me there, my link is below. It's been real✌🏽 bsky.app/profile/anahit…

The idea of putting a number on “How powerful is your story?” sounds somewhat absurd, BUT here are the two (and only two) narrative metrics I’ve found to be useful, intuitive, robust, accurate, and meaningful. abtagenda.substack.com/p/the-two-narr…

If you are a Hanna Gray Fellow with wisdom or insights regarding the interview process, please share! I'm hoping to help out some well-deserving trainees through the preparation process.

@WordsThatHop @nycmidnight Congratulations, Brenda!! Can't wait to read it :)

I’ve been a hospital chaplain now for eight years at hundreds of deathbeds. I want to tell you something I’ve witnessed. Most people, at the end, realize they’ve spent a lot of their life hiding. Sometimes by choice, or because they could not safely choose to be themselves. ➡️

This #acwri thread is 💯 spot on. Point #5 is esp critical (to me). As an editor, my goal is to improve your doc(s), yes, ✨AND✨ to help you understand the rationale behind my edits so that you grow more empowered as a writer.

@WordsThatHop The best cleaning of your life, perhaps? :)

My phone rang, and it was a local number I didn't recognize, and I didn't answer but I thought "This is the phone call that's going to change my life!" And then I listened to the voice message. It was just the dentist reminding me I needed to come in for a cleaning.

As students, especially historically marginalized ones, are making their grad school lists, I implore you NOT to chose programs solely based on how “prestigious” the institution is. Talk to Black and Brown, queer, disabled, etc people who are currently in, graduated from, or

Oof—good news wrapped up with incredibly terrible news. To know that there might be a treatment that could save your life *if only you could afford it* is a special form of hell 💔 Treatments should be accessible to all. #MentalHealthMatters #MentalHealthAwareness #HealthEquity

Let the puns fly as @PairwisePL launches the first food introduced in the U.S. that uses CRISPR gene editing—in this case, to disable some of the genes that make highly nutritious raw mustard greens too spicy for most people to eat as a salad. In grocery stores this summer.

A great article from @vickywoollaston on the ongoing debates around the ethics of gene editing technologies (and some great quotes from Ruth Garde with which I most wholeheartedly agree): eandt.theiet.org/content/articl…

So proud of my love @heyyfernanda for sharing her story on (racemic) #ketamine. Is it a perfect drug? No. Does it works for everyone? No. Is it risk free? Also no. Did it save her life in the face of unrelenting suicidality? 100% yes. To me, that is everything ❤️
