My Shroomie Depeche Mode Concert Experience: An Extraordinarily Beautiful Night
On December 1st, 2023, I took some magic mushrooms two hours before a Depeche Mode concert (from their Memento Mori tour).
I created a new 8-minute video to share what that experience was like – deeper, richer, and more beautiful than I’d imagined. I think it’s the best video I’ve made thus far.
My Letter to Depeche Mode
Dearest Depeche Mode,
My intention in writing this is simply to thank you for what your music has meant to me.

Reviewing the Data on Human Use of Rapamycin
Rapamycin and some of the later rapalog derivatives such as everolimus, all of which function via inhibition of mTOR, are arguably the best of the present crop of geroprotective drugs capable of modestly slowing aging and extending life in animal studies. The effects of rapamycin in mice are robust and repeatable, though never as large as we'd all like them to be. Like many of the other interventions that modestly slow aging in animal models these small molecule drugs mimic some of the effects of calorie restriction, and likely produce benefits largely through increased efficiency of the cell maintenance processes of autop...

Let ’ s Think of Patient-Centered Care, Not Value-Based Care
This article explores some fundamental changes that could accompany this shift in terminology, revolutionizing how we handle data and patient interventions.
Engagement For Life
We know that maintaining health is an endeavor that takes years, even decades. A successful endeavor must survive the departure of clinicians who have built relationships with the patient, as well as the patient’s own geographic moves, changes of provider, and changes of insurance. Treatment recommendations should also be tailored to the psychology of each patient.
Is there a message in this exhortation for people working with data and healt...
