This is a must-read for journalism students. I teach journalism interviewing. I tell them to avoid making statements or using trigger words that politicians will seize on to pick a fight to evade the question. PP takes it to another level, as excellently described by Tim Abray.

What incredible news for Temerty Medicine! Huge congrats to you Moira Kapral. Phenomenal clinician, researcher, role model, teacher, mentor and all-around grade-A +++ human. This is totally inspiring. 🙏❤️🥳👏

Grateful to have a chance to try to put into words for Los Angeles Times what the late, great #AliceMunro 's writing meant to generations of women. And hugs to Valerie J. Nelson for nudging me to pick up a pen and get back at it.❤️🙏

I'm sorry to see Dr. Eileen de Villa resign from her position. Her advocacy has been strong on the drug poisoning crisis.

Long overdue. It bothered me that medicine advocated for these necessary protections for HCW and, to a lesser degree, research scientists, but we left politicians and journalists behind. It's all so intimately related.

I've learned firsthand that there are excellent, committed politicians across party lines who work very hard every day to improve the lives of the people they serve.

This piece by Deveryn Ross in The Brandon Sun is important. I share his surprise that this wasn't a top story for outlets. Ebi Renner is my boss. I've never worked for a more principled, gifted leader. A devastating blow, and a big canary in the mine.

Whoever did this is brilliant.

If you tell a cute story about Supreme Court justices who enjoy do quirky social activity together despite being ideological opponents, it is my legal right to slap a KICK ME sign on your back the next time I see you in public ballsandstrikes.org/legal-culture/…
