After a short experiment, seems that life is better without (what) twitter (has become) so I’m signing out. Not deleting account and may check in once in a while. Maybe. I’m easy to find at my uni website. Bye and be well friends.

How does "colorblindness" contribute to racial health inequities, and what can we do about it? Ben Sommers, Sam Sommers and I discuss this question—prompted by the recent SCOTUS decision on affirmative action—in our new @JAMAHealthForum article jamanetwork.com/journals/jam…

Worse Access, Quality, and Leadership—Redressing the Affirmative Action Ruling’s Litany of Harms

This JAMA Forum discusses the US Supreme Court’s ruling on affirmative action in the context of the potential harms to access to care, quality of care, and leadership for the health care system.

“Tolerating” low-level dealing fixes only one problem, it doesn’t *regulate* drug sales to protect consumers and the neighborhoods they live in. Doesn’t incentivize good selling practices. We know how to use regs to shape market behaviors lets try that. nytimes.com/2023/09/24/nyreg…

A Day Care Death and the Dilemma Over How to Crack Down on Drugs (Published 2023)

Fentanyl use is increasingly out in the open, and increasingly fatal. But New Yorkers are divided over what to do: decriminalize it or make more arrests.

“Addiction” may be super complicated and on the way out as a term to explain harmful/chaotic drug use, but it seems unambiguously bad when enormous multinational corporations who definitely believe in addiction devote themselves to creating a ton of it. washingtonpost.com/wellness/…

Many of today’s unhealthy foods were brought to you by Big Tobacco

A new study suggests that tobacco companies, who were skilled at marketing cigarettes, used similar strategies to hook people on processed foods.

I'm not a quant guy so can't evaluate the math, and OD stats have their issues, but the results make sense to me: Supply-side interventions need to be designed to protect ALL consumers' wellbeing not just the ones we call "patients." rand.org/pubs/external_publi…

Heartbreaking, horrifying, and enraging, ⁦@ZachWritesStuff⁩ and ⁦@shoeshine⁩ with two different looks at parents, children, and drug politics/policies. Must reads. newrepublic.com/article/1734… revealnews.org/a-mothers-wor…

Their Kids Died of Fentanyl Overdoses. Republicans Can’t Wait to Exploit It.

Grieving parents are at risk of becoming mere props in the latest chapter of America's twisted war on drugs.
