Our @StanfordChild Fetal and Pregnancy Health program team recently showed off our virtual reality capabilities at the #SMFM26 conference. VR gives patients and learners a closer view of complex fetal conditions.

@adityaag Better than what kind of doctor? What specialty? What specialty would you get rid of and move to ChatGPT/Claude?
English
I am confident that ChatGPT/Claude are better than human doctors given that the current medical time-allotment model means I only get 15-20min of their attention.
Would a human doctor be better if I could get 4hrs of their time?

Despite these types of studies more than 90% of the Silicon Valley executives working on AI that I personally know are choosing concierge doctors for themselves and their family. They are paying thousands out of pocket for access and personal attention.

Many of us have colleagues at Soroka hospital or at the @WeizmannScience who were struck by ballistic missiles in the last 24 hours. If you want to help and don’t know how here’s a great way to support those helping folks on the ground. Thanks @benblumenrose for setting this up!

Aid for Israeli families in crisis A number of folks have asked me about what orgs are on the ground helping Israeli families repair homes, get food/supplies, etc. We're fundraising for 3 orgs doing the hard/thankless work. I'll match up to the first $18,000. Link in comments.

🚨BREAKING: @Columbia has released its third Antisemitism Task Force Report, with the results of Summer 2024 campus climate survey. The report finds that in 2023-2024, "a majority of our Jewish students felt they were not accepted here because of their religious identity.”

A lot of folks want to help Israeli families dealing with the fallout of ballistic missile attacks but don’t know how. Strong work @benblumenrose in leading the way! Any little bit helps!

And I can’t imagine being a Jewish faculty there either…

The more Jewish academics hear “zionists go home!” on university campuses the more they will

💥 IF YOU ARE AN ACADEMIC RESEARCHER, COME TO ISRAEL! 🇮🇱🇮🇱 700+MM NIS PLAN TO BRING ACADEMIC RESEARCHERS TO ISRAEL. DETAILS BELOW: Today, Israel announced two critical programs to increase scientific research in Israel: · OR (Light or Energy) - Targets star researchers at the peak of their careers who will come do research in Israel. · Bereshit (Genesis) - Invites Young and promising researchers after their postdoctoral studies to do research in Israel Structure and application: a. The programs will be implemented by the Israel Science Foundation, headed by Professor Daniel Zajfman (former president of the Weizmann Institute). This is important. This will not be run by the government but rather an independent body with a world renowned academic at the helm. b. Researchers will selected in a competitive process by an international selection committee. c. A total of 23 new researchers will be selected annually in the two programs (as detailed below). d. Total investment in the program is NIS 730 million over seven years. OR (Outstanding Research) Program Details The program is designed to bring back outstanding researchers at the peak of their careers. 1. 8 winners per year 2. Each winner receives a total of approximately NIS 1.5 million per year for 7 years. In the humanities, the award is slightly smaller. 3.Distribution of funds for each year: NIS 1.25 million will be granted through the Council for Higher Education as a research grant won by the researcher; NIS 250,000 will be granted as a personal absorption grant. 4. In total, the researcher receives approximately NIS 10.5 million during his entire period, which will be used for research and living stipend. The researcher can receive other grants as well. Structure of the Bereshit (Genesis) Program: The program is designed to bring back leading postdoctoral fellows who have completed their studies abroad to research institutions in Israel. 1. 15 winners per year. 2. Each winner receives NIS 800,000 per year for five years. Of this, a research grant of NIS 700,000 per year and a personal grant of NIS 100,000 per year. 3. In addition, the winners receive (according to research needs and approval of the selection committee) a one-time equipment grant of an average of NIS 1.3 million (total budget of NIS 20 million in a given year). 4. In total, on average, a researcher receives NIS 5.3 million over five years. Kudos to Noam Dan of the Finance Ministry and Finance Minister @bezalelsm for pushing this through. Well done.

A powerful letter from Jewish students at @Columbia which provides helpful perspective on how it is to be a Jewish student on campus today.
Shai Davidai@ShaiDavidai
Hundreds of Jewish students at @Columbia just published one of the most incredible student letters I have ever read. It's not only magnificently written, but it also clearly articulates their experiences on campus for the past six months. Their letter tells the story of what's it like being a Jewish student right now better than any professor like myself could ever do. Please take 4-5 minutes to read their letter. Give Jewish students a voice. docs.google.com/document/u/1/d…

Look at the pure joy of these @penn faculty. What do you think they do when they encounter Jewish applicant files when they sit in faculty recruitment and student admissions committees?

Nothing to see here. Other than @penn professors smiling at the same encampment with a PFLP flag…

This is what happens out in the open. Imagine what happens behind closed doors when these faculty and students sitting on university admissions and faculty recruitment committees encounter Jewish applicants.

In 2013 @sherylsandberg published “Lean In” and everyone invited her for a talk. She now launched “Screams Before Silence” detailing the atrocities committed against hundreds of women on Oct 7th. Not a single invitation or screening by any OB dept, women’s group, @acog @MySMFM 🦗

“To watch ‘Screams Before Silence’ is to be disabused of any lingering doubts about what Hamas did,” Bret Stephens writes about a new documentary about sexual violence on and after Oct. 7. Read: nyti.ms/3WmqYFT

.@Stanford’s encampment hosted the founder of SJP today, a man who has repeatedly promoted antisemitic conspiracy theories and supported violence. These tweets in 2017 were the subject of a dispute with his employer, @UCBerkeley.

Have they considered arm bands?
Sia Kordestani@SiaKordestani
Wristbands are being used to identify anti-Israel students at @UCLA so that they are allowed to enter Royce Quad, Royce Hall, and Powell Library. Some students are allowed in and out, others are kept out. This is ILLEGAL and UCLA is not just tolerating it but facilitating it.
