If You Must Play One Sport, Make It Tennis
The longer you play, the more it will do for your health.
www.theatlantic.com
For @theatlantic, I wrote about how tennis wins in straight sets for your health, and not only because tennis players live longer. Tennis is having a resurgence in America, where 1 in 12 people play, 70% on public courts. www.theatlantic.com/health/archi...htt

"A Danish study from 2018 found that tennis players lived nearly a decade longer than their sedentary peers—and also longer than swimmers, cyclers, and joggers. No other sport in the analysis was correlated with such a large boost to life expectancy."

I am a climate scientist and this is correct ⬇️
Occasional reminder that there’s no, “it’s too late, its over” for anthropogenic climate change. Every molecule of CO2 that doesn’t go into the atmosphere makes a difference. Preventing 0.1 degree of warming makes a difference. Every bit of climate resilience we build together makes a difference.

This is great.
Carter “really did strike a blow for decency” and showed great “humility,” Walter added, which doesn’t necessarily translate into a “great rap song or a great biopic.”

I thought I had published my last story of the year, but I was wrong. I began writing this many, many months ago, when President Carter entered hospice care. Today, we had reason to publish it.

Jimmy Carter once courted celebrity culture — and then grew past it
Rock stars adored him. A nascent SNL poked fun at him. But after his 1980 loss, Jimmy Carter moved on to higher callings, beyond pop culture’s easy reach.

This is beautiful.
For Harvard Public Health Mag, I wrote about grassroots work to help men live with their grief.The Sad Dads Club members spoke with profound vulnerability that, a generation ago, would have been buried in expectations to “move on.” They grieve, celebrate joy. harvardpublichealth.org/mental-healt...
“People forget about the fathers.”
For generations of American men, grieving a child’s death was something to bury. With the Sad Dads Club, they can now discuss it in the open.

A winning mix: High standards, high support
“Positive discomfort” is the idea that full potential lies on the other side of being challenged. But it’s also a leap beyond “no pain, no gain.”

For @washingtonpost.com I wrote about “mentor mindset” in coaching and teaching: high standards mixed with high support. Also, long live print.
