Another conversation I loved! Hearing Matt talk about his love of physics, math, and systems biology - it was a trifecta I didn't know I needed to hear about. Listen now!

We can do such amazing things; they make us so much better. And we are doing so few of them compared to what we could choose to do.

"Go to an old cemetery. See all the baby graves from before the 1950s & 60s? After that, hardly any. That's when people started vaccinating their children. If you're unsure what to do to protect your kids, the answer is literally written in stone." — Michael Okuda How quick we forget.

My conversation with Sue was truly extraordinary. Hearing from someone who's background is *not* in science, but who actively who turned to science to help solve a truly devastating problem (PFAS contamination) was beyond inspiring. I'm grateful for Sue's willingness to embrace science. Listen now!

When you feel yourself becoming complacent or surrendering to hopelessness or apathy, remember that everything that exists today exists because someone(s) dreamt it up and decided to put in the work to make it a reality. We can create new ways of doing things, new ways of being, new worlds.

What these nihilistic vandals are doing to dismantle science & medicine—generations of expertise & public service & life improving benefits—is cultural revolution level national self harm. No foreign foe could inflict such brutal damage & senseless suffering on US so fast & effectively & unresisted.

Politicians are by and large not movement leaders - they are the ones who see where the movements, and votes, are going. That's a feature and not a bug - so be the movement they will need to follow, and be accountable to.
