I'm updating my Politics of U.S. Health Policy (MPH-level) and Health Law and Politics syllabi. Let me know if you've written something in this space recently that you think would be good to assign (or otherwise have recommendations)!

Will Arnett was on Conan and told a story about how Conan dealt with the death of his parents by accusing Jason Bateman of killing them. It’s so funny.

Comparing al Jazeera and Nick Fuentes is certainly....a choice
This is the lady who wrote Michelle Obama's "When they go low, we go high" speech

We Just voted in PA. Our precinct (Swarthmore North) was at approximately 55% turnout. That is very good especially for an off year election.
