After 2 years of using ChatGPT, I can say that it is the technology that has revolutionized my life the most, along with the Internet.
So here are 10 prompts that have transformed my day-to-day life and that could do the same for you.

They are your neighbors—your nanny, the worker who harvested the strawberries on your table, the roofer who repaired your home, the cleaner who ensured your streets were clean after the snowstorm.
They’ve paid taxes. They’re over 65. And there will be about 1 million of them by 2030.
Yet, they can’t access most health care services—because they are undocumented.

Ableism is not harmless, benign or well-meaning.
It is prejudice, bias and discrimination against disabled people.
It is harmful, devaluing bigotry and injustice.

A friendly reminder on #RareDiseaseDay that if you only ever listen for the hoofbeats of horses, you will miss entire herds of zebras
While each individual condition may be rare, in aggregate the thousands of esoteric illnesses affect millions of patients!

On the tougher days in this job, I need to remind myself that:
-the self-doubt means I have ambitious career goals
-the failure means I'm taking risks and trying something new
-the frustration means I care and I'm passionate about my work

It is heart-wrenching to see Mr. Brooks face this life threatening delay and know there is a simple solution within reach: allow Medicaid expansion to move forward.

A recent exploratory study led by Duke Psychiatry's Dr. Alex Bey suggests video tracking offers promise as a scalable, quantitative & relevant measure of #autism-related behaviors. Several @DukeAutismCtr researchers, incl. @GeriDawson, also contributed. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3764…

The delay of Medicaid expansion has cost North Carolina billions of dollars, especially in rural communities.
And caused heartache for hundreds of thousands of hard working folks.

This is a significant announcement regarding Section 504 of the Rehab Act.
Today, @SecBecerra announced a proposed rule to update regs implementing Rehab Act Section 504. The 1st comprehensive update in over 40 yrs, the rule strengthens protections for people w/ disabilities & reflects community input. ACL Blog by Alison Barkoff: acl.gov/news-and-events/acl-…

“Autism science has a history of false leads because of unexamined ableist ideologies that undergird researcher framings and interpretations of evidence.” Congrats to the authors of this timely piece. frontiersin.org/articles/10.…

Congratulations, Dr. Franklin--great work!

Full Practice Authority for nurse practitioners addresses social determinants of health for patient care.
States that grant Full Practice Authority to NPs demonstrate more diversity and inclusion, with a higher representation of NPs of color. Click below to read more! #FPA #NP #NPsofColor

13 years ago this month, my son was diagnosed with brain cancer. I promised him that I would do everything I could to help kids with #ChildhoodCancer. It’s the only thing he asked us to do. Not to help him, but to help others. I would be grateful for a follow or a RT to spread awareness and honor his journey. 🙏🏻 – at Kechi, KS

🚨Recap: A VERY disappointing outcome. The @NIMHD committee admitted to NOT include anyone with a disclosed disability, yet made a significant decision on behalf of our community - they did not recommend the 'health disparity designation' be given to people with disabilities.
📢Disability community: Happening today! At 1:45 PM ET the @NIH @NIMHD Advisory Committee is giving updates from a working group considering designating people with disabilities as a 'health disparity population'. This has HUGE implications! nimhd.nih.gov/docs/advisory-…
