"They were like, this reminds me of that TikTok sound or this TikTok trend. You should try this one. And it was never during class that I talked about it. It was always the 20 minutes before or after class that we just stay on in chit chat and stuff because they were students who wanted to do that. And so I never talked about it during class, but students would come on before class because they'd be like, oh, we got to chat about what's going on on TikTok. And one of the guest speakers that I did was a grammar grandma, where she came and was like, I'm gonna teach them, she always written about using semicolons properly or whatever. And I dressed up like a full grandma. In less than two minutes, by the way. And so I showed how I did that on a video and it went viral. It had 800,000 views or something. And I'm going to tell you right now my students lost their minds. They're like, we did this. This was us. We told you so, yes. Yes. And so it was so it was so wonderful. And so they encouraged it. I don't follow, obviously, any of my students until they graduate high school, but I know that they're engaging and I love that. I love that they're proud of me. They'll repost or they'll duet videos, like they'll make a video. They'll be like, that's my teacher, like in that video. And that just, you know, obviously makes me feel like a million bucks, but anything to keep them connected to the school and to education and anything to show them that adults were hilarious, right? We are good times. And we're so smart and funny. And I think that a lot of kids think that, oh, adult, they're so old. They don't get us. Well, I showed up to your for you page in your platform, and I'm successful at it. And we're connected. So I was just really just desperate to do anything to keep my students engaged. You know, again, shout out to your students and how you're bringing that in. If they're listening, they're so engaged and they can then hear and connect it to a trend. That synthesizing information and creating something new out of it. It's the same critical thinking, but not everything is through a traditional read respond. A 100 million % agree with you. I did get back from not from my district or anything like that. They love it. They actually publish my tiktoks on their school on the websites of the schools and stuff, which is so funny to me. They're so cute. But parents, some parents, like, it's inappropriate for a teacher to be on TikTok. And I'm like, I'm not doing dance, you know what I'm saying? I'm speaking teacher truths and connecting with teachers and students. I feel like if I'm speaking, my students language, you have to meet them at their place and then bring them more knowledge and more things. And so it looks different ten years ago. Oh, yeah. You know, it looks completely different. We weren't talking about technology as much. We weren't talking about what's happening on their phones. It just looked different. And so we have to change with the times. And that's really hard for teachers to do, especially because it's exhausting. There's only so many hours in a day and only so much we can do. But I promise you that if you look for ways to connect with students using their language, using the things that their pop culture, they recognize that you're trying and they build trust. So my class isn't a 1 million % like everything is fun, all the time. It can't be, right? But they trust that there will be something magic every day. Something interesting, something funny, a reference to something they know. There will be a connection every day. And that's how I keep my students with me through Walt Whitman or whatever it is that might be more difficult. Or might be or might feel more inaccessible. We've built that trust where today might not be great, but tomorrow, don't you worry. I'm going to make it up to you. I'm grateful for

"Have you dealt with patients that have been touched by wartime? Definitely war and medicine has a very intricate and complex relationship. I don't know if it was Walt Whitman who said it, though he was a nurse during the Civil War. That war is the best medical school, but some people have said that. And even advancements in medicine are come from war. The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have, in some ways, really revolutionized certain aspects of the way we treat trauma patients in the civilian world as well. The importance of tourniquets, the importance of transfusing whole blood instead of red blood cells isolated from serum and platelets, et cetera. The importance of pain control in the battlefield that's changed dramatically. Everything from ketamine injections to fentanyl lollipops in the battlefield. So war has really improved medicine in many ways. In another way, the Department of Defense spends a lot of money on medical research and kind of really pushes the envelope. Darpa is a one aspect of the military budget that really funds these moonshot experiments that are really fascinating and really push the frontiers more than seemingly most universities doing it. Doctors and researchers doing their research. So in a way, the space program, which was military initially, then became civilian under NASA. Also led to a lot of advances in understandings of health on earth and in space. So the military is war in general is a huge way that medicine advances, not to mention the epidemics that come my grandmother was from what's today moldava, what was then Romania, she got typhus during the during World War II. So there's typhus outbreaks. There's cholera outbreaks. All these even infectious disease things can advance in war, which you wouldn't expect. You expect sort of trauma to be the sort of maintenance problem, but actually infection is a huge problem throughout history and war. So we can learn a lot. It's this kind of horrific natural experiment in medical care. Yeah, and I've recently been reading about some of the horrific medical experiments performed by Nazi scientists, Nazi Germany. I'll talk about it on another time, perhaps, but nothing reveals the honesty if you were biology like war. Just to stay in your wild journeys for a little bit longer. You have a tweet about Shackleton saying, here's a photo of Shackleton's medical kit from his storied expedition to Antarctica in the 1910s. Some pair gorick for pain, some laxatives. Only the essentials. Would you put laxative under the essentials?.

You say in the book that you modeled this political pamphlets often written during periods of crisis. Can you talk a little bit about that tradition and why you chose to do that with this particular book. Well i love pamphlets. they're short. They're usually intense and urgent because they're responding to a crisis in a certain moment but if they're well done. They lost their books that you wanna read decades. Later some examples are common sense by thomas paine democratic vistas by walt whitman. Which influenced me in this book. Walter lippmann drift and mastery and george.

America does not repel the past or what it has produced under its forms or amid other politics or the idea of casts or the old religions accepts. The lesson with calmness is not so impatient as has been supposed that the sloughed still sticks to opinions and manners and literature while the life which served its requirements has passed into the new life of the new forms perceives that the corpses slowly born from the eighteen and sleeping rooms of the house perceives. That it waits a little while and the door that it was fittest for days that it's action has descended to the stalwart and well shaped air. Who approaches and that. He shall be fittest for his days.

Obama: US 'adversaries have seen us weakened'
"Barack Obama called Donald Trump at about three o'clock in the morning to congratulate him. Even though Mr Trump had lost the popular vote and took the electoral college by less than 1% in three states today, President Trump declines to accept the verdict of the voters despite losing by greater margins to President elect Joe Biden. Mr Obama hasn't spoken of the election standoff until today. We spoke to the 44th president on the release of his new book, A Promised Land, a memoir of his early years and first term. What is your advice in this moment for President Trump? Well, the president is A public servant. They are temporary occupants of the office by design. And When your time is up. Uh, Then it is your job, too. With the country first and thinking beyond your own ego and your own. Interests and your own disappointments. My advice to President Trump is if you want. At this late stage in the game to be remembered as somebody who could come country First. It's time for you to do the same thing. In your view, it is time for him to concede. Absolutely I will. I mean, I think it was time for him to concede. Probably the day after the election or at the latest two days after the election, I When you look at the numbers objectively, Joe Biden will have won handily. There is no scenario in which Any of those states would turn the other way, and certainly not enough to reverse be outcome of the election. More than the courtesy of a concession, the Trump White House is declining to free up the usual funds and facilities for the incoming administration. President elect Biden is not receiving secret national security briefings. As Mr Trump did when he was president elect. What In your estimation? Would our adversaries be thinking right now? Russia China about the fact that the transition is not moving forward. Well, I look, I think our adversaries Have seen US weakened not just as a consequence this election, but over the last Several years. We have these cleavages in the body politick. That They're convinced they can exploit. There's an old adage that partisan politics should stop at the water's edge right that. When it comes to Our foreign policy that it is the United States of America, not the divided states of America. We met the former president at a symbol of America's past divisions. The Smithsonian's National Portrait Gallery was a hospital in the civil war. Clara Barton and Walt Whitman cared for patients in the building where the 16th president consoled his wounded. We joined Mr Obama's peers in the gallery of the President's to talk about his book. I'm curious about the title. I think a lot of people feel that we are farther from a promised land. Well, I titled it the promised land. Because even though we may not get there in our lifetimes, even if we experience hardships and disappointments along the way That I Create a more perfect union, not a perfect union. But a more perfect union. You

The image was posted on a private social media account, but was seen by many of our students. How many students are at that school like three thousand the Montgomery County. Police department were notified this morning and assisted us in investigating the use of the racist term. I. I hate racist terms. I hate racism. I hate insulting terms. It's not illegal.

And it's no business of the public school system. The government school is now going to what what are the words. He used the consequences that. They will receive significant consequences. These students will for something. They did privately over the weekend. In taking a picture of themselves and sharing it with their friends. And they will receive significant consequences by the government because of it. How is this different from them writing something offensive in their diary? And then showing it to their friends. Let's let's take this back twenty years before there was social media and smartphones. Are we going to now have the government schools? Policing literally policing.
