Ooooh I wasn’t sad, I just needed the heatwave to end so I could open the windows

do you have any idea how furious you have to make career civil servants to get them to put their names to a letter

Boston is the first major Northeastern city to launch a pilot program offering free sunscreen dispensers in public parks.

💡New productivity hack! 💡 Travel to Finland where no one from the U.S. emails you before about 4pm local time, at which point you still have ~6 hours until sunset.

All NIH and NSF grants for my entire team--and for all of Harvard, I guess?--have been terminated.

As provocative as that sounds, the practical effect is probably not much. Everything was already frozen. 🤷‍♂️

On the upside, it makes tracking terminated grants easier. No more guesswork at Harvard!

Great talk by Alessandro Feraldi showing how gender and educational gaps in Healthy Working Life Expectancy change depending on the operationalization of health and work — important for interpreting existing evidence and designing future research in this area

Bonus 2:

We’re kicking of day 2 at #REVES2025 with a session on stagnation in life expectancy

@reves-network.bsky.social @octaviobramajo.bsky.social @astokespop.bsky.social

Tomorrow, when less jet-lagged, I’ll be presenting on what we can learn about US life expectancy stalls by examining birth cohort patterns in cause-specific mortality

I’m excited to be in Finland for the first time to be attending REVES for the first time!

REVES = Réseau Espérance de Vie en Santé = Network on Health Expectancy

Have a nice day.

Workers who track data on car crashes, drownings, traumatic brain injury, falls in the elderly, and other perils lost their jobs. Advocates worry life-saving work will stop.

"Closing tabs" one of my main tasks completed for the day
