Today I sat down with healthcare worker and activist Anna Lovotti. Anna is a physical therapist who recently moved to California to put her newest niche as a Neurology Certified Specialist to good use. She like many, was jolted into action regarding anti-racist education as a white ally following the death of George Floyd. Today we talk about what the process has been like, the bumps along the way and what is left to be learned. Antiracism is not a checklist or a class where you complete a few assignments. I also want to note that we talked about 1 instance in which I experienced racism at my alma mater. The individual who committed this act is no longer with the institution, and I do want to say that sitting down with her to talk about about it and naming the wrongs did provide for some therapeutic healing

Hoffman et al. : “Racial bias in pain assessment and treatment recommendations, and false beliefs about biological differences between blacks and whites” by Kelly M Hoffman, Sophie Trawalter, Jordan R Axt, M Norman Oliver. The authors examined whether this racial bias is related to false beliefs about biological differences between blacks and whites (e.g., "black people's skin is thicker than white people's skin"). These findings suggest that individuals with at least some medical training hold and may use false beliefs about biological differences between blacks and whites to inform medical judgments, which may contribute to racial disparities in pain assessment and treatment.

Does putting your iphone on airplane mode make it charge faster? Well, while there is not science on a cellular level, I make the educated assumption with your iphone being on airplane mode, it removes energy from receiving notifications. As CBS News reported, the less your iPhone is doing, the fast it will be able to charge. In the grand scheme of things it will only save you a few minutes.
