#RIPRBG 💔 Grieving the loss of #RBG but grateful for all she did and represented. Picture below from my office on 1st day @YaleCancer . Motived more than ever to make a difference in the lives of #PancreaticCancer 💜 patients and advocate for gender equity. ♀️

🌞I tried something new this morning . . . a 10 min meditation at the beach (on the way home from school drop-off). Why haven't I tried this before? Feeling grounded and grateful to start my day. 🙏🏼

Great week on the @YaleCancer @SmilowCancer Inpatient Oncology Service with this amazing team! Filled with challenging cases, lots of learning, and great teamwork - capped off with a wedding in our healing garden for a patient's daughter. Oncology is really the best field. 💕

My 1st Onc clinic with #videovisits , some takeaways: 1) Pts were game and felt part of the #COVID19 solution 2) Perfect for hospice check-ins 3) Very special to see pts in their home with family and pets 4) Air kisses and virtual hugs still filled my bucket #SilverLinings

I'm in need of diastole after a busy stretch. Starting the weekend with a deep breath. 💕 "If we'd put our stethoscopes to our own chests, we'd hear the pause of diastole...A drop in pressure. Relaxation. Expansion. And then, with a full heart, a gush of life.” @colleenmfarrell

It's been a busy, long week on the GI Onc consult service but a quick-witted patient made my day. Heard on rounds during a patient interview: Fellow: "Have you had any falls?" Patient: "Only in love" ♥️♥️

I've had a rough week (mom was back in the hospital). My awesome continuity fellow just knew. Her: Dr. Kunz, have you had lunch today? Me: No, not yet. Her: I brought you a yogurt drink - easy to drink in a busy clinic. 💕🙏🏼 @YaleHemOnc

Proud mama moment... My 14 yr old son is working on a persuasive speech entitled: "We need to get rid of racial profiling in job interviews." He wrote "diversity is a door," a beautiful metaphor that gives me hope for his generation. Our kids hear us. #DiversityMatters

Bats practice social distancing when they’re not feeling well. They’re more evolved than a lot of humans I know.

🧵by @gbosslet is a must read. I've made various attempts over the yrs at not checking email on vacation, but inevitably fail. I'm feeling newly committed. Now, more than ever, we need to recharge. Including my attempt at an away email message, inspired by @gbosslet . 🙏🏼💕

#COVID numbers are on the rise everywhere including in CT. I'm worried for our kids. I just told mine they could not attend indoor sports practice this week because there is no #maskmandate and some eligible kids are still #unvaccinated . I'm tired. #WearAMask #GetVaccinatedNow
