@LocasaleLab AI is a human with athymhormia. Intact cortex, broken basal ganglia. No drive, no goals, but full cognitive function to execute once a goal is supplied. Our new role is to supply the ideas to execute on. Historically execution trumped ideas. AI is changing the game.

Oh to be disgustingly educated &articulate.

@zee_cv A simpler way to phrase this is to think of exams purely as tools to find out how well you've mastered the material. If you are studying to pass the exam or achieve a particular score, you've already lost the plot.

If you truly want to become an exceptional medical student, and eventually an exceptional physician, please do not crash read just to pass exams. That is short-term thinking. Study with curiosity, depth, and intellectual rigour. Aim for understanding, not temporary survival.

It’s possible if you don’t study comprehensively and your goal is just to pass the exam rather than actually retain the material long term. That’s basically academic brain dumping. 😭 I wouldn’t want to be your roommate’s patient or colleague for that matter.

If you see a team walking around the hospital, kindly refer to them by the appropriate name: ⚕️A ganglia of neurologists ⚕️An inflammation of rheumatologists ⚕️A caffeine of nurses ⚕️A murmur of cardiologists ⚕️A croup of pediatricians ⚕️ Infectious disease docs in clusters

Awesome. I'll add a few A blast of hematologists A peel of dermatologists A cast of orthopedics A consolidation of pulmonologists A smear of pathologists Add more!! This is fun 😂😂😂

I’ve realized a lot of Nigerian first class students use “Law 30” of the 48 Laws of Power: “Make Your Accomplishments Seem Effortless.” If you don’t live with them, you can’t see the hours of reading before the 30-minute quick revision shenanigans they display before exam.

What a privilege it is to afford a gym, buy healthy food, pay bills, have legs that walk, eyes that see, a brain that functions, work every day, and take our bodies to their full potential.

If you're a naturally anxious person, I recommend pursuing a high stress career path where at least you'll be compensated for anxiety you're going to have anyways.

For a population of 220 million, there are fewer than 100 rheumatologists in the entire country. That is roughly 1 specialist for every 2–7 million people leaving those with autoimmune diseases like lupus to fight for survival on their own.

I told my daughter that when she lies her eyes turned a different color. Now she squeezes her eyes shut every time she lies…and my job just became a whole lot easier

Something interesting you might not have realized: A number of words in English are NOUNS when you stress the FIRST syllable... But VERBS when you stress the SECOND syllable. -SUSpect/susPECT -CONflict/conFLICT -PROtest/proTEST -CONvert/conVERT

I’m by no means a BAT supporter, but his climate change metaphor here is obviously a clever one. Do people not understand literary devices anymore? 😭

The research behind this is wild. Your kitchen sponge has the same density of bacteria as human stool. German scientists found 54 billion bacterial cells per cubic centimeter inside used sponges in 2017. Yours is sitting right next to your sink. Sponges are the perfect home for bacteria. They are wet, warm, full of food bits, and never fully dry between washes. Across all 14 sponges, the team found 362 different types of bacteria. The most common species include strains that can make people sick. In 2011, the public health group NSF International swabbed 30 things in 22 American homes. The dirtiest object in the entire house was the kitchen sponge. It was dirtier than the toilet seat. 75% of the sponges tested positive for the kind of bacteria that includes Salmonella and E. coli. Microwaving does not clean the sponge. The 2017 study found microwaved sponges had higher amounts of the smelliest, most harmful bacteria. Heat kills the weak strains. The strong ones survive and refill the sponge with no competition for space. A 2021 Norwegian study compared kitchen sponges to dish brushes. In brushes, Salmonella was wiped out within three days because the bristles dry out between uses. In sponges, bacteria climbed to about a billion cells per sponge. The lead researcher told CNN that one kitchen sponge can hold more bacteria than there are people on Earth. Three things actually work. Switch to a dish brush, because brushes dry fully between uses while sponges stay wet for hours. Replace your sponge every one to two weeks. Never leave it sitting wet in the sink. Norway and Denmark already do this by default, but most other countries don't. The detergent is fine. Your sponge is the problem.

Being asked a really good question feels phenomenal. The type of question that leads to a thoughtful conversation where I almost have to collect my thoughts before diving into it. That scratches my brain so goood. It makes me feel so known and desired

Along the way somebody was gracious enough to take a chance on you because you had the right attitude even if you didn't have the skills to match. It's only right you extend the same grace to someone else.
