I help people navigate health and technology.
I have a new essay up on Medium: Thank you, Sean Parker. I tell why I’m so grateful to him for his gift to food-allergy research and l share a little bit about why I don’t read comments on food-allergy stories.
Also: please check out more cartoons by Tiffany Glass Ferreira — she is awesome:
on Wow! How? Dr. ChatGPT: “Great piece. ChatGPT has been a huge help to me in my healthcare, and it can do things that humans…” Dec 6, 00:02
on Case study: Recurrent fever: “Any one checked the water they drink? Any radioactive material? Food combination might be poisoning too” Oct 10, 21:34
on Find a bit of beauty in the world today: “sure!! thanks for reminding me of the quote” Oct 10, 03:57
There is something powerful and poignant when we can use humor & anger to talk about issues that make people uncomfortable.
In the AIDS community back in the late 80’s early 90’s for example ACT UP often used humor to communicate.. Tom Kalin on national AIDS day 2014 articulated it really well here http://vimeo.com/114684417
So true, Sherry! That’s a great video. I started looking around for examples of ACT-UP history — there are some great ones if you use Google images (not for the prudish, I should say).
Thanks!
