A must-read, must-share piece - clearly deconstructing the shoddy science of the Geiers (who are inexplicably in charge of studies at HHS). Consider this an early warning for what lies ahead. 🛟🩺🧪 www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

The reason it’s so powerful is that it turns /your body/ into the factory that makes the drug. It’s so exciting that the US not working on it will be seen as one of the biggest self-owns in history.

Ahh the first snowfall of the year in #Pittsburgh and I am so happy. Made a few stops this morning but my favorite views were from the incline, with a barge on the river and everything. Heckuva way to start a Friday.
