Just heard about this huge (49 state) long covid trial using tirzepetide (aka zepbound) one of the newer glp meds. It’s run by researchers at scripps, funded by the eric & wendy schmidt foundation. It looks like it is still enrolling, fully remote participation:

And we knew this. This wasn't speculation. We studied it, we had the talking points. We trained volunteers to explain this to people. It's not a surprise. Rich people don't flee places with good quality of life when we increase the quality of life. They might try to cheat us, but they don't leave.

A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.
Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."
Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

Update: In Medford, all but one of the progressive slate won, 12 out of 13 seats. Glad to see my neighbors approved of the progressives by a wide margin.
Keeping an eye on local elections around Boston, where NIMBYs are pushing back against moves to liberalize zoning to create more housing in Cambridge, Somerville, and where I live in Medford. Almost no coverage in local press but similar issues, including objections to bike paths.
