After 18 years away (thanks, #braincancer), I'm going back to school! My major has now changed from Communications to Cognitive Science. Wish me luck!
TL;DR: I'll still be working 2 days/week with @opennotes.org, and going to school full time.

Every day is #BringYourCattoWorkDay when your office is wherever your laptop is—and when your cat is Mark. He’s a quiet, judgment-free partner when I’m reading new research or editing manuscripts, which is more than I can say for some peer reviewers.

Great question. No, not specifically, but that would be the last thing my husband would think to do… and he knows I have @danamlewis.bsky.social as my designated social media strategist when I’m hospitalized. 😆 See example from last surgery.

That feeling when you meet up with a fellow #MedX alum and get a group of academics re-thinking the capabilities of patients when we use #healthAI for good.
@hugooc.bsky.social is the GOAT!

“It’s too cancer-y.”
Yes! I felt this way about hats when I lost my hair for from brain radiation. It took a little more than 6 months for the bald spot to begin filling in.
And people wonder why I’m now sporting pink hair.
It’s because I CAN. #btsm #braincancer

How might clinicians play a role in “producing” the patient story?
@myopennotes.bsky.social was inspired today by @rickrubin.bsky.social “live in Conversation” w/ the gang from #Abridge.
Listening to Slayer at a health tech meeting is ALWAYS on my bingo card. 🎯

This is Robert. We both have brain tumors & we both lost our friend Courtney to brain cancer a few months ago. Rather than grieve alone, we decided to hangout. Apparently, we both know way too much about the drummers for the Grateful Dead. 😆 Here’s to Courtney and to new friendships.
