Fun fact: PubMed's new wildcard feature maxes out at 256 uses. Ask me how I know. 😅 #medlibs #expertsearching
ALT screenshot of PubMed error messages: "Search is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later." and "Cannot search because the number of wildcards (*) exceeds 256."

Re LRT: the delay in posting the latest @Medlibs_Misc episode is all on me. The last couple of months have been... a lot. Big thank you to @carrieprice78 for taking care of this, and @ZapTheLibrarian for being an awesome guest.

Y'all, I am a messy puddle of emotions. I had an unexpected package from @Chewy that had a personalized message (1st pic) and hand painted portrait (!!! 2nd pic) of Boone, based on a 2018 pic (3rd) I uploaded to his profile. 4th pic is Boone today. 😭 This is the best thing ever.
