Me: I recorded a podcast episode on the recent Supreme Court rulings and talked with the New York Times about health policy today!

Maude: That’s nice, rub my belly.

Starting off our New England 4th of July right: with iced Dunkin and a 1776 sing-a-long.
42 years ago today, the NYT published its first coverage of what would be the AIDS epidemic. It would be difficult to overstate the centrality of And the Band Played On to my personal and professional development in health politics and public health research. I wish we’d learned more lessons from this period, but am grateful to be able to teach this important but painful history to my students.

So glad to be on the Charles River instead of watching my baseball team getting clobbered.
One week ago today, I made the best decision of my life.
In honor of my book, I got me a claim denial tote bag!
Just voted in my mayoral special election!
My Caturday grading assistant is pretty cute.
Nice to have these cuddlebugs on the couch with me as I deal with COVID. #Caturday
