I tell you what, learn a little bit about cancer and people who think you can cure cancer with diet or supplements do look very silly. This is why cancer biologists have such a hard time not being snarky.

The year I was born. we basically had no idea why cancers happened and now we understand the underlying force behind it with 100% clarity and the molecular forces behind it with many orders of magnitude more resolution. We were entirely in the dark, and now the room is lit.

It was coincidental that I read “James” right after re-reading “Parable of the Sower” and while a historical look at slavery and a scarily accurate dystopian prediction about 2024 did not help me feel optimistic, the synergy can’t be ignored. 📚💙

As the middlemen between drug companies and insurers, PBMs are shoo-ins as the villains behind high drug prices. But they do play a useful role in the health marketplace.

Absolutely pathetic behavior. Those articles are now coming up as “under review”. Truly sickening cowardice here.

We worked for months with USAID to build an $85,000,000 project to end TB in two regions of the Philippines. The project is funded by private money, the Philippine government, and matching USAID funds. It could provide a blueprint for eliminating TB worldwide--except it's...not happening.
