I used to post my book reviews on Instagram, but now that my Facebook & Instagram are deactivated, I figured I could post them here as I enjoy making them! I'm looking forward to hearing what people think about my reads from 2024 and what I plan to read in 2025! 📚 📖 #booksky #bookreviews #goodreads

"On Tyranny" is a #1 NYT bestseller again. I wish the moment were different. But I’m glad the book is useful. And grateful for all the kind words about putting the 20 lessons to work.

Bibliotherapy is the ancient practice of encouraging reading for therapeutic effect. Today, it takes many forms, from literature courses run for prison inmates to reading circles for elderly people suffering from dementia.

In times of revolution, many things change. If we are able to rebuild our research bodies, one thing we would Iike to see change is for-profit scientific journals.
Scientific publications should be open access if government-funded and journals should at minimum be non-profit.

“There may be times when we are powerless to prevent injustice, but there must never be a time when we fail to protest.” ― Elie Wiesel
I will never forget the photo of Zelenskyy’s face after he saw Russia’s war crimes in Bucha in 2022. He seemed to age years in an afternoon. Watching him constantly cross the world asking for aid that should have been thrown at him is one of the deepest shames of our age.

Measles high infection rate is the reason we have not yet been able to eradicate it. That rate means you need a very high vaccination rate to prevent outbreaks. It is possible, but not with current levels of institutional distrust.
The average person with the flu gives it to around 1.4 people. The average person with measles gives it to between 12 and 18 people.
Measles cases continue to surge globally, putting millions of children at risk.
More than 10 million people globally were infected with measles in 2023, a 20% increase from the previous year.
