Steph Curry shot 2/9 in 1st half He finished w/ 12/23 FG, 7/12 from 3s for 35 points while being on a minutes restriction This is why I watched this season from hell to the finish, because Curry is the GOAT, and I want to watch this man play this game until the wheels fall off

In 2007 interview, Thomas Starzl, who performed the first liver transplant, described being ‘clipped from the Hopkins pyramid’. In other words, he was told that he would not become one of the chief residents. He finished his residency at Miami, and the rest is history. 🧐

ABSOLUTELY ELATED TO TRAIN AS A CARDIOTHORACIC SURGEON AT UCSD! 🫀🫁

@esther_choi1 Congrats! 🍾🎈🎉

Feeling super grateful and excited!! I’m going to be a surgeon!! 🥹 #Match2026

Suicide is now the LEADING cause of death for US medical residents. We are losing 500 physicians a year. That is an entire med school class. Stop demanding "resilience" from doctors and start fixing the system. Tie executive bonuses to wellness, not just RVUs. Link to the recent episode is in the comments 👇

One of the many reasons why surgical history is useful to look at is that sometimes it teaches us that Things Don't Have To Be This Way... Case in point: Francis D. Moore became a Professor and Chief Surgeon at the Brigham at the age of <checks notes>... 34. 🙌🤯

This is amazingly clear and complete review of CT-FFR. Wow. Sobering when described like this 👇🏻

Golden State Warriors forward Gui Santos has signed a three-year, $15 million contract extension with the franchise, sources tell ESPN. The deal includes a player option in 2028-29.

The phenomenon of the 'forever postdoc': Many people who get stuck after a PhD - either as forever postdocs, temporary staff, or adjunct professors. In academia, it’s often either tenure or nothing. For these people the problem is - their time is ticking. There’s no stability - people delay starting families. There’s no decent income - they can’t build a financial safety cushion. No savings, no decent retirement contribution. There’s no clear vision - their future becomes too unpredictable and leads to very real issues with physical & mental health. And their time keeps ticking. At some point, some of them start asking questions: “Was my PhD really that useful?” “Why a highly educated & experienced person is so poorly employed..?” 📍They face the reality: - In academia, there are almost no positions for older scientists who’ve done two/three postdocs. Academic positions are made for early-career people - those who’ve just finished their PhD or a short postdoc. - In industry, your academic accomplishments mean very little, and the fact that you’ve never worked in industry means a lot. They don’t want to hire someone who chose an academic track and has zero experience in the ‘real world’. And again - their time is ticking. Every. Single. Year. ⭕️ This is the human cost of the ‘academic pipeline’. Thus - I strongly, strongly advise everyone considering this ‘forever postdoc’ path to think TEN TIMES before deciding to do it. And find a way out as soon as possible if you've already started down this path. The more you delay, the more it slips away.

The uncomfortable truth is that punting every season of your franchise player's prime from age 31-37 to chase Two Timelines and the Ghost of Giannis was a terrible idea. Now you have an old team, no good young players, and tough decisions to make for the "future" you ruined every year of the present the last 7 seasons, obsessed over. Well done, Joe Lacob.

You never know when you will talk or see someone for the final time. This is such a devastating event that is impacting so many, including myself and my close friends who are basically family. Never take any moment for granted, and keep all of those impacted in your thoughts.

Surgery is a "wicked" environment: feedback is delayed, noisy, and often biased. My essay on why experience doesn't always equal mastery, and how to learn when the feedback loops are broken. leezhaomd.org/post/the-wicke… #MedTwitter #Surgery #MedEd

Do people think Steve Kerr truly had bad intentions for players or something? I'm just trying to process how certain opinions get formed and I don't really get it. I know Kuminga thinks he can be an All-Star even though he can't dribble or shoot but can you really get mad at a coach for giving you an honest evaluation of you as a player? He didn't even say he was going to be a bad player. Aaron Gordon was an insanely important piece to a championship team and the Nuggets won't win a title this year without him. Shawn Marion is a multiple time all-star and was a key piece for an NBA champion. You know how you become unsuccessful in life? When no one wants to be honest.

I tried solo travel a couple times and all it really clarified that I would rather have a plus one to share it with. Life is too short not to seek out and make love with singular intensity. The nights alone in cities were forgettable.

A junior vascular surgeon becomes a senior one when they’ve: 1. placed a graft they now have to revise 2. realized the hardest part of surgery is decision-making, not the anastomosis 3. stopped believing any single trial will change their practice

The root issue is that the life sciences train far too many PhDs. At many major medical schools and academic medical centers, the number of PhDs produced now rivals the number of MDs - despite vastly different societal needs and labor-market demand. For many students, the PhD has become a substitute for medical school: a perceived trade-school pathway into biotech or pharma when grades or portfolios weren’t competitive for medicine. The result is a surplus of credentialed labor. Industry responds by continually raising the bar - now requiring PhDs plus multiple postdoctoral years - while academia absorbs the excess as cheap, grant-funded labor. Meanwhile, we face a shortage of physicians. The PhD should remain a rare qualification for exceptional scientific talent, not a default holding pattern or a source of subsidized labor tied to NIH grants. The necessary correction is uncomfortable but obvious: train far fewer PhDs, expand MD training, shorten research career pipelines, and give students much earlier, more honest feedback about fit. I knew at 12 I wasn’t going to be a professional athlete - science needs the same realism. Supporting real trades - including medicine and biotech - while restoring the PhD to its proper role would improve outcomes for students, science, and patients alike.

1) Exactly 40 years ago today, the landmark @NEJM paper “Influence of the Internal Mammary Artery Graft on 10-Year Survival and Other Cardiac Events” was published, establishing the IMA–LAD graft as the cornerstone of CABG. nejm.org/doi/abs/10.105…

As 2026 opens, my advice to students is to not begrudge any part of your medical education, even those parts seemingly distant from your specialty. In later life, you will inevitably help make critical decisions for your family members, and they get afflictions of every kind.
