This week we had the first @uiowaeye global ophthalmology journal club spearheaded by @MatharuKanwal! Bittersweet since this is my last journal club with Dr. Peskina before she finishes her fellowship 🥹

The Affordable Care Act increased insurance coverage, but did not result in decreased emergency department reliance for ophthalmic conditions. Addtl measures beyond expanding insurance coverage may be necessary to increase access to care. @TahreemMir7 ow.ly/x4gm50JRnN2

An NBA player makes 44 times what the average WNBA player makes. The highest WNBA salary is about $228,000 a year. On the NBA? Over $45 million. That stark pay inequity has pushed many WNBA players to play overseas, where they can earn more. n.pr/3xtDh71

Today is significant for many South Asians — especially Sikhs. On Vaisakhi, Sikhs celebrate the formalization of their community and reflect on oneness, love, and service. Happy Vaisakhi to all who celebrate.
