Working👩‍💻vs. 🧑🏻‍💻family organization responsibility is so exaggerated on holidays, even for otherwise very equal partnerships. If this rings true, #heforshe tip: check in with your partner min 1 week prior about plans for w/ meals, decorations, activities, gifts. @ebmalinzakMD

To be clear: I feel quite fortunate on this front (husband asked how he could help today) but even we are not perfect at this....I suspect that is the case for many otherwise even partnerships and think worth attention.

Today, had the immense satisfaction of seeing a trainee (we shall call #3) show another trainee (#4) a technique I teach. He said he learned from “#2”, a former trainee of mine. And I’m sure I learned it from ? someone, making me trainee #1. 1->2->3->4->??

Vaccination day celebration “party decorations”:

I was elated when I got my vaccine, but have never been prouder of @DukeMedSchool than today (of so many other proud moments). These “old” people from the community got their shot, with many others. #GoDuke

My almost 4 year old, helping sort presents, just told us that we needed to keep them apart so they don’t get coronavirus. Merry Christmas, 2020 edition.

If we needed any further proof that the stock market is out of touch with reality: this on the day the first vaccine doses were given in the US. Recipients crying with joy and relief.
What’s the over-under a zoom crash for Thanksgiving? #zoomthanksgiving (Of course, if it happens we are all doing Thanksgiving right!)
They did it! Thank you, @nytimes. Much more informative (and depressing) heat map.

@nytimes It hurts to say this, but you need to add more hot colors to your virus heat map. @weatherchannel can help....

This was my 3.5 year old’s first twitter hack and tweet (that I am finding several days later). A major milestone of life these days.

Ok, well there will be some cultural lag here. As children of “snow days” parents, my kids will still be unapologetically absent for hours of their online lessons in the name of sledding and hot chocolate. Just for the record. nytimes.com/2020/09/25/us/sn…

Replying to @FactuallyPod
@FactuallyPod called me old...for using "..." or "-" to connect thoughts. It confuses "young" people? Apparently, now "..." only indicates a trailing thought or hesitation.... Next, you'll tell me to put only one space after a. Get off my lawn!

To my knowledge EU did not have a national holiday at end of May. There are many other differences also, but something to keep in mind as we approach the next major holiday - July 4th is no excuse to attend parties this year!

All of this. Particularly the “older white faculty; POC staff”. Hard to miss, even as someone who has been privileged to notice primarily “out of interest” and merely roll my eyes, in the past.
This piece is so deep that I have to digest it in stages. Please read and amplify this important work #BlackLivesMatter #BlackintheIvory

Sincerely hope no one needs this, but if sharing ventilators comes up again (second wave?), we wanted to get this out to people: lessons and thoughts about improving safety. anesthesiology.pubs.asahq.or… @drlauraduggan @MuathBishawi @mswami001 @DineshKurian @nathanhwaldron
