Our new study is out today in @jamanetworkopen.com! We looked at trends in biologic drug prices after biosimilar competition. Key takeaways: savings from biosimilars are substantial, but take longer to accrue than commonly seen with generic small molecules. 1/ jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

Something I hadn't realized until going through the trade data recently is that Mexico has surpassed China to become the #1 source of US computer imports. Imports of computers are close to passing cars to become the #1 Mexican import, which is insane if you know the size of the Mexican auto industry

I’m sad to learn that my law school classmate, Kiah Duggins, died in the DC plane crash last night. Kiah was an exceptionally talented civil rights lawyer and aspiring legal scholar. I hope you’ll read about her work and the causes she cared about, some of which I’ll 🧵 below. What an immense loss

Cannot count the number of articles that I've seen that act like Kennedy just didn't exist before his failed run for president. Like he didn't create and get rich of the modern anti-vaxx movement. Like he hasn't been slow walking us to this moment for two decades.

I know a lot of my followers are young and american, but I'm curious to hear from anyone in other countries with the experience of going from a semi-functioning democracy to a dictatorship. How did you handle that? What did you hold on to? What advice do you have for us?

Do I know any researchers who have done research on biomarker data in the HRS survey, ideally blood-based biomarkers, e.g. of ageing? If so, very curious about sample size issues, particularly in case of running similar analyses in smaller countries.
