#MedEd is showing itโs true colors yet again, with the abrupt transition in leadership in which the program director, Dr. Dennar was forcibly resigned from her position as PD without justifiable cause but ironically after she filed a lawsuit ๐๐พ
Hey #AcademicMedicine & #MedTwitter, does anyone notice a pattern here?

Although each story may be considered n=1 (therefore easy to dismiss) collectively they tell a story that no one should be dismissing. #WomenInMedicine #BlackWomenInMedicine #BlackMenInMedicine #BeEthical pic.twitter.com/CDrKH0mCB7

Dr. Dennar faced misogynoir on top of interpersonal and systemic violence. Iโm disgusted at the levels to this #DNRTulane

We, the Black students of #match21, refuse to be silent in the face of discrimination. #DNRTulane

1/OK, data mystery time.
This New York Times feature shows China with a Gini Index of less than 30, which would make it more equal than Canada, France, or the Netherlands. https://t.co/g3Sv6DZTDE
That's weird. Income inequality in China is legendary.
Let's check this number.
2/The New York Times cites the World Bank's recent report, "Fair Progress? Economic Mobility across Generations Around the World".
The report is available here:
3/The World Bank report has a graph in which it appears to show the same value for China's Gini - under 0.3.
The graph cites the World Development Indicators as its source for the income inequality data.
4/The World Development Indicators are available at the World Bank's website.
Here's the Gini index: https://t.co/MvylQzpX6A
It looks as if the latest estimate for China's Gini is 42.2.
That estimate is from 2012.
5/A Gini of 42.2 would put China in the same neighborhood as the U.S., whose Gini was estimated at 41 in 2013.
I can't find the <30 number anywhere. The only other estimate in the tables for China is from 2008, when it was estimated at 42.8.
