I woke up yesterday to a message that something I did went viral. Confused at first, but later found this tweet posted by @DrJessieAllan, my amazing pediatrics preceptor. twitter.com/DrJessieAllan/…

Knocked Loose - You Won't Go Before You're Supposed To ALBUM REVIEW youtu.be/oyOIR5pNeE8?si…

best album I’ve heard this year

@ShakiraaHarding good for them, engaging in self care… 5/5 eval from me… the culture needs to change

@MrBeast If I win I will give 100% of the funds to pay for full-ride college scholarships for students that would otherwise have to take loans in order to attend. These would of course be called the Huberman Beast Scholarships.

thanks Dale Cooper, I needed to hear that

Thinking of my sister today. Harvard was a singular obsession with my mom during my childhood and it became my sister’s singular obsession throughout her short life. It became my own source of insecurity as a 2.8 GPA Asian (we exist) who sucked at math and standardized tests. Maybe it’s a Gen X thing but she never once felt entitled to Harvard or worried that someone else would “take her spot” because she was in competition with herself. Needless to say, losing her impacted our whole family. In our own ways we all stopped giving a fuck about Harvard. So hello AAPI. I get where the obsession for elite schools as access points to the American Dream comes from. Been there, done that. All this to say this obsession with elite schools without understanding this country’s history makes first generation immigrants easy targets for Edward Blum and friends without knowing who he even is. It’s in their interest to see their fear of “demographic change” fighting each other for scraps because the idea of a more inclusive society for all is happening and it means a loss of control. This is what this SCOTUS win for them was about. So feel how you want but just know that being used as a model minority tool is a choice.

When I got into Stanford the first time, my high school classmates told me it was because I was brown to my face in our calculus class. But they didn’t take into account that I begged my mom for an old SAT blue book at a thrift store - that was my test prep. (1/4)

Days like today, remember your WHY. For me, #HealthEquity #MedEd #DEI I will never forget a Black fam in clinic & mom said "TY for all you do". I was confused bc I was just doing something simple for them, but she explained seeing my #DEI work online & #RepresentationMatters

@theweeknd Aphex Twin collab?

Thread: I work in an arcane field where the job requires specific technical knowledge, built on a ladder of understanding and breakthroughs going back over 100 years. It's not immunology but it's not nothing.

@lexfridman @RobertKennedyJr This would create a false equivalency between the arguments of a conspiracy theorist and scientists and physicians who have dedicated their lives to understanding immunology. It would also amplify harmful ideas. This is a critical mistake and will do more harm than good, Lex.

I'll interview @RobertKennedyJr and I'll interview virologists on topic of vaccines and viruses. I'll try to make them good, challenging, informative conversations. I love science. It shouldn't be a source of division and distrust.

Psychiatrists are becoming more aware that autoimmune conditions can affect the brain, producing states indistinguishable from schizophrenia. (Happy to have played a small role in one of these cases.) washingtonpost.com/wellness/2023/…

After a patient saw multiple physicians and neurologists over 6 months and was assigned a diagnosis of #LongCovid, a relative entered her symptoms into #ChatGPT with the correct output. Diagnosis was confirmed by antibody testing and therapy has been initiated.

@kelseycpriest @StanfordMed Thanks @kelseycpriest ! I’m so honored to join Stanford Psych!

So excited to continue my training @StanfordMed in psychiatry and to call the Bay Area home for the next 4 years! #Match2023 #psychtwitter

It’s like RSV took a two year sabbatical, was working out twice a day, meditating, eating well, and is now back and showing off
