I've admired poet and literature professor Greg Wrenn since we were high school theater nerds in NE FL back in the late '90s 😂What a delight to interview him about Mothership, his lyrical memoir about nature and psychedelic healing, for New Books Network 📚

A HUGE piece of art (charcoal and oil) I'm hanging on my wall. By Lexington, KY artist Charles Davis and gives me a cool, midcentury, women-of-abstract-expressionism vibe.

I just read the NYTimes article on Fauvism and it reminds of this finger painting my daughter made when she was 3 or 4. She titled it 'The Wild Beast.' One of my favorite pieces of art of all-time.

Updating my pre-med health humanities class and I want an article on history/epidemics/COVID19 to teach alongside Greene and Jones's 'The Shared Goals and Distinct Strengths of the Medical Humanities: : Can the Sum of the Parts Be Greater than the Whole?'

Any recommendations?

Honored to be elected and excited to get to work!

Coming out of Twitter (can I still say that?) hiatus to say how proud I am of the collective effort to integrate social justice education into the UME curriculum at University of Kentucky College of Medicine. Thanks to AJOB (@bioethics_net) for giving us space to reflect on our efforts

This must be one of the most inspiring articles ever to be published in NEJM - I hope it's widely read and will be teaching it along with Hansen, Netherland, and Herzberg's Whiteout next year.
