We’re in awe of these digital communication powerhouses! In a changing media landscape, we need to be where are patients are with relatable, accessible, and evidence-based messages. #OPOH26 @psr.org

There’s a lot to unpack when it comes to federal climate action—from silencing science to disregarding the health impacts. We can respond by making it personal and local, building collaborations, and sharing our stories.

Nirvana - MTV Unplugged in New York (4k Remastered) #musicvideos #unplugged #mtv #nirvana #livemusic #kurtcobainforever #davegrohl #kirstnovacelic #patsmear Arguably the best unplugged session ever recorded. It's sad to think that 6 months later, Kurt would be no more. As a teenager, when he passed, I was hurt and bothered like so many. But it feels like the important thing to do is to hold onto the good moments and love them for how important they really were. This show transcended the ephemeral nature of TV and leaves itself as an unimpeachable record about how truly good the music was. So much of this wasn't even the band's music, but the band doing important songs their own way. May these chords and lyrics reverberate endlessly in our collective memory forever. 00:00:00 - Intro 00:01:07 - About A Girl 00:04:28 - Come As You Are 00:08:57 - Jesus Don't Want Me For A Sunbeam (by the Vaselines) 00:13:56 - The Man Who Sold The World (by David Bowie) 00:18:30 - Pennyroyal Tea 00:23:39 - Dumb 00:26:55 - Polly 00:30:44 - On A Plain 00:34:26 - Something In The Way 00:41:13 - Outtake / Sweet Home Alabama (by Skynrd ofc) 00:42:29 - Plateau (by The Meat Puppets) 00:46:06 - Oh Me 00:49:33 - Lake of Fire 00:53:34 - All Apologies 01:00:21 - Where Did You Sleep Last Night (by Lead Belly) C 2007 by Geffen Records, I do not own this, I just hopefully made it better.

Wow this is bittersweet. I would have to say my favorite MTV video was Nirvana Unplugged

I have never understood why organizations don't recognize & value these people. In academic medical centers, they are often informaticians.... #informatics #bioinformatics #glue

Opening keynote by Kedar Mate at #AMIA2025

He asks what is your “why” for informatics/what you do?

Mine is increasing access to quality care and improving outcomes for medically underserved and under resourced communities.
