Sleep deprived but invigorated by the #aahm22 annual meeting. Fantastic talks and great impromptu conversations with familiar and new faces. Thank you @TheNeuroTimes and @aahmhistmed for a fantastic meeting-a tremendous amount of work went into pulling it off

Great comment by @leahsamples at @PennLRev symposium! Discussing the ways in which The Disability Frame played a part in the disenfranchisement of disabled workers, voters & social benefits claimants in the historical context, as identified by @n_hold @RabiaBelt & @kmtani.

13 years ago, I emailed Dr. Fauci out of the blue to ask if I might interview him for my undergrad thesis. He invited me to his office, where he answered all my questions. When I sent him the thesis, HE READ THE WHOLE THING (see his overly effusive review below). Who does that?!
