- Pretty great to be here at UW-Madison on the Day of the Badger! Proud to be a UW Madison MD alum. Also thanks, @walaszek.medsky.social , for the question at today's AOA Excellence in Medicine talk.

- While I couldn't make it to an informal @aplaceforowls.bsky.social party tonight, I spotted this mug in the wilds of Minnesota. #decafandbaileys. #itsbeenanotherweek. #family
- Yes! My friend Bri @notthecheese.bsky.social , and I are now connected in the open #bluesky, and also because we have season tickets to DU women's gymnastics and have 3 #grants (and 2 mentee grants) under review!! I feel if you have all these connections, you're likely to be connected for life.
- Fun night with DU gymnastics. #GoPios #universityofDenver
- Important real-world research led by Dr Dan Matlock and Dr Russ Glasgow and their team. #beeson #Geriatrics @cuanschutz.bsky.social

- In these days of the "now times", I hate Fridays. Today is no different. Terrible things are being done to people I care deeply about - people who serve the common good as public servants. I can't reach and hug all of my friends and colleagues who are affected. We are all going to be affected.
- This is important.
- Please reach out to talk about Clinical Faculty Scholars Program or other early career researcher training options. Applications due March 21. @cuanschutz.bsky.social
- How many people do you know that currently have the flu? I know two currently, in Denver, and I haven't asked a lot of people. It's just that common! I will wear a mask in clinic today. Public health matters. Vaccine development and distribution matters.

- We are also living this. The VA leads and partners with Universities to conduct research that seeks to improve quality of care, especially for rural populations and through telehealth. It is so hard to see colleagues not being able to keep their jobs.

- A whole generation of early career scientists and physician-scientists, including colleagues and myself, are particularly vulnerable to these funding freezes and cuts, with jobs and careers depending on federal grants. #IDsky #Medsky #Episky www.science.org/content/arti...

- So appreciated this today. Primary care can diagnose dementia and then support people living with dementia. More time, training and teams can make it actually possible. #Geriatrics can be great partners. I'm so glad I get to live this! @cumedicalschool.bsky.social #dementia #guide #caregivers

- Reposted by Hillary LumI think some people hear “grants” and think that without them, scientists and government workers just have less stuff to play with at work. But grants fund salaries for students, academics, researchers, and people who work in all areas of public service. “Pausing” grants means people don’t eat.

- Loving this whimsical read. Favorite lines so far: "The ducks know nothing... "The owls are unreliable... #daveEggers #amreading #reading #booksky
- Anyone have a #JanWritingGoal? For my #DecemberWritingChallenge, I did 12 of 15 #writing sessions. I'm pretty pleased and consider anything done in December as a bonus.
- Love this #blueorangesky
- #primarycare The proposed legislation in Massachusetts builds on the experience of the other states that have enacted increases in primary care spending. These early states, such as Rhode Island, Delaware, Colorado, and Oregon, have paved the way. www.healthaffairs.org/do/10.1377/f...
- Important and so grateful for this. Much work still to do for #telehealth to be routinely part of health care, beyond March 31. Every week, I see older patients by #telehealth, helping them avoid driving, avoid exposure to infections, and receive treatments. #gerisky #medsky.
