Every wonder why MA of all places was the laboratory for national health reform...? The answer involves a $385 million check and 3 foot tall stuffed badger. That story is out today in part 3 of "Mitt & Ted". Also...this is when it becomes a buddy cop story!

“Pain also rises most steeply before age 55, during women’s working, caring and reproductive years. It is strong evidence that the gender pain gap is real, consistent and global. Yet women’s pain is still too often dismissed, under-researched and under-treated.” Yep.

On the drive up I got to listen to the first two episodes of Mitt & Ted, the new podcast from @iancoss.bsky.social about RomneyCare. It’s as good as I hoped and expected. bsky.app/profile/ianc...

Today’s 10 mile hike up Mt. Moosilauke in NH was powered by candy corn and pecan snickers. There may have been cursing on the way up. And there may be more tomorrow. Gorgeous fall foliage hike though.

I have a whole headache lexicon, and for years, it has included what I call the "hairpulling headache," which is when the pain feels better if I pull my hair tight. and yes, listen to @jillpiggott.bsky.social ! I can take a while (years) to find a preventative that works, but it's worth trying.

“Many women spend a quarter to a third of their lives in perimenopause and the menopausal transition.” Well when you put it that way…

I'm teaching a 50 person class this spring, and based on the ideas here, I'm thinking of assigning a short quiz on the day a paper is due, w qs that should be easy to answer if students did their own work. I might not even grade it; just have it on hand if I think I need it. Have others tried it?

selfishly, I suggest the struggle to come up with a new state flag, seal, and motto. though given that this process is still ongoing, it may have to wait a while. notably, many other states are going through such efforts as well or have recently done so, so the topic will travel well.

The next wave of healthcare reform is building. This season on The Big Dig, we tell the story of the last wave, and the odd couple alliance that helped set it all in motion. Remember Romneycare? That story. Episodes 1 & 2 are out now. Buckle up, it's a wonky one. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

One of my prized possessions is a vhs tape of Ken Blackwell, then-OH sec of state, explaining how to use the votomatic machine, which was sent to households in the state just after the 2000 election. I lived/voted there then and my first time voting that way was very confusing!

Noooooo! I was just there on Friday. I would have ordered all the things had I known it would be my last time there. Maybe the same people who stepped up to save Paul Revere will throw caution to the wind and take snappys too.

as someone studying state identity, I now want to see studies of where such branding is more or less effective (whatever "effective" may mean...)

Tufts University’s Environmental Studies Program has three openings this year. These are all full time non-tenure track teaching positions (although the PoP position is a bit different than the other two). Full time teaching faculty are unionized (SEIU) at Tufts University. Ads below:
