- TrumpRx promises discounted drugs, but $199/month for Ozempic ($2,400/year) with no drug insurance benefit is still out of reach for so many Americans. Real drug price reform requires addressing the fundamental dysfunction in our pharmaceutical system. We need structural solutions.
- A few weeks ago, I stopped in San Francisco for the “Eat Your Ice Cream” book tour at the @cwclub.bsky.social. Thank you to everyone who came out and to @djpatil.bsky.social for the great conversation. It was a pleasure to speak about the habits that matter for living a long and healthy life.
- New research: if you like to stay up late, you may be hurting your heart. A new study from the UK found that if you’re a night owl, you are more likely to have worse health outcomes. As I wrote in “Eat Your Ice Cream,” high-quality sleep is foundational for our health. #EatYourIceCream #NightOwls
- I banned phones in my @upenn.edu classroom last year, and the results were remarkable. Now, @joshshapiropa.bsky.social just endorsed banning phones from schools. There are three good reasons to ban phones in the thread below.
- Being an optimist may actually keep you from getting sick. New research shows how the mind-body connection supports the immune system. As I wrote in “Eat Your Ice Cream,” we can make living well part of our everyday life, through six simple steps. #EatYourIceCream #Health #Wellness #Longevity
- 32% are "very worried" about their health care bills—more than groceries, rent, or utilities. People are thinking twice about calling an ambulance or even seeing their doctor because of cost. As I told @washingtonpost.com, we need comprehensive reform.

- 75 should be the age limit for all government officials. I argued this in September 2024 in @theatlantic.com following President Biden stepping down from his re-election campaign.
