“Opinion is the lowest form of human knowledge. It requires no accountability, no understanding. The highest form of knowledge is empathy, for it requires us to suspend our egos and live in another’s world.” - Plato
A piece I wrote on a new discovery linking ancient #Neanderthal DNA as a root cause of 'Viking Disease' or #Dupuytrens cases, a contracting hand condition. #Vikings took the blame because modern-day hot spots for the disease overlap with their 15th century raiding routes.
In a new study, a team of researchers revealed that two genetic variants inherited from Neanderthals are among the most important risk factors for the debilitating hand condition Dupuytren’s on.natgeo.com/3NwQLGC
Yesterday was #NationalFentanylAwarenessDay #MedTwitter — I'm writing a feature for a prominent platform on the use of OTC #naloxone for #opioid #drugoverdose. I'm looking for MDs to weigh in with their expert POV. Comment here or email me: samanthachencharik[at]gmail[dot]com
#NJDevils just won their first playoff series IN OVER A DECADE. We’ve all been talking about the rebuild for years. It’s finally time. Let’s see what they’ve built. Round 2 let’s GO!

Marathon #7 in the books. My feet are soaked and sore from my rainy London morning, but my heart is so full 🤍 I raised over $4,000 for #Mencap, a charity that supports people with learning disabilities. What an extraordinary experience. #LondonMarathon #WeRunTogether
People ask me if I have my heart set on a PR this Sunday. I tell them, no. My only goal is to beat Captain America. See you out there, @ChrisEvans Don’t trip #londonmarathon2023 #LondonMarathon #London
When @sno_write was 25, her father was put in a medically induced coma, and she had to take over his finances. She wrote about her experience and about the difficulties young caregivers face when they're still figuring out their own lives: nyti.ms/42Lt9ni
Managing a parent’s #money is hard. Young #caregivers face unique challenges as they navigate complex financial decisions for decades longer than most. “I knew nothing about money — and now I was in charge of my father’s complicated and secretive finances.”
This morning, I opened up to the business section of the print edition of @nytimes & saw my article. I wrote the story I needed to read when I became a #caregiver to my father at 25. To those who shared their stories with me on and off the record — thank you for being brave.
Many adult children end up caring for their parents late in life. But when the role reversal happens in their 20s and 30s, the burden can feel too much to bear. nyti.ms/42IKzkg
When I was 25 I had to take over my father's finances. It was tough, to say the least. Who else has been put in this position? I'm writing an article and would love to hear your story — your experience could help a lot of people. Email: samanthachencharik[at]gmail[dot]com
Came across a somber stat while reading last night: "When asked where and how they want to spend their last few months, nearly 80% of Americans want to be at home with family and friends, free from the institutional grips of hospitals and nursing homes..." Only 24% actually do.
Happy #BlackHistoryMonth! We want to highlight the many unnamed individuals whose important work is only recorded in archival photos. This image from our photograph collection shows a technician @theNCI loading a tissue processor, which processed samples for cancer pathologists.
At the @NYASciences Enduring Enigma of the Mind Lecture Series with world thought leaders on consciousness and the mind-body problem. What is the relationship between the mind and the brain and are we capable of unraveling these questions? #consciousness
Researchers at @MayoClinicCIM have devised an immunotherapy technique that combines chimeric antigen receptor-T cell therapy, or CAR-T cell therapy, with a cancer-killing virus to more effectively target and treat solid cancer tumors. mayocl.in/3EuUfou

The amount of chocolate I’ve needed to cope with this week has reached record highs. Thankful Halloween fell on a Monday to fuel me ‘til Friday. #HalloweenCandy #candycoma
This thread is my favorite. Found the winner: "This is not Ratatouille. Rats are not our friends"
NYC is limiting the hours when trash is taken out because of issues with rats, and it's genuinely hard to pick a favorite quote from today's presser Pick your fighter:
Me to Steve as we’re watching #TheWatcher: “Their financial decisions are stressing me out.”
