It's #WorldIVFDay -- grateful for this miracle every day

I think one of the most exciting things in pharma this year (and not talked about enough) is the upcoming launch of RSV vaccines. Here's a comparison of the RSV vaccines in older adults (≥60 yo). Likely to see approvals for GSK and Pfizer next month. $PFE $GSK $MRNA

Only a matter of time until the boys made @SportsCenter Top 10

The shift to 'healthspan' as a term is nice, but I still think the whole 'longevity' field is built on a very flawed foundation: prioritizing duration over fullness and health.

How do you rank vanilla ice creams and use Haagen Dazs ‘vanilla bean’ rather than their classic ‘vanilla’ ?

It's that time of the year: we're excited to announce the winners of the 2023 Audubon Photography Awards! With their stunning looks and captivating behaviors, birds often enthrall us when they cross our path—take a look! bit.ly/3Jq3VCS

People are focused on the possibility that AI will make gigantic moral errors. But it's the everyday choices that make up the fabric of our human lives. If those become a little bit colder, it matters. And because each decision is small, we might not notice it happening.

"I won't invest in that start-up because if it's successful I'll have to pay capital gains taxes on the profits," said no one, ever. Yet, there's a tax break that does exactly this. Broaden the base, lower the rate. But actually do it. equitablegrowth.org/money-for-noth…
