Also wont spoil but it really had me thinking differently about my health behaviors! (In a scary way 🙀) Very interesting juxtaposition of what are usually long long horizon inter-temporal choices

Very cool @kobedesender.bsky.social thanks for the summary, was there evidence for a reconfiguration cost (i.e., effort tied to changing the decision boundary in either direction? Apologies only read the summary for now!)

10 years ago she had (undiagnosed) lyme disease, which was debilitating for an entire year. She's well today (it's in remission). She did her own research and she helped figured out what was happening, working with a doctor. That set the stage for her advocacy today.

Kwok's dream: that his children's generation won't suffer from PD like he has.

Kwok's nexus of expertise and lived experience shape the conversation. How does exercise slow PD down when it does? Can we find biomarkers? How do patients with advanced PD optimize quality of life?
