And that’s graduation! A huge thank you to everyone at UW School of Pharmacy for your guidance and mentorship over the last 5 yrs. And particularly to my advisor Ryan Hansen, for always making time to hear my ideas and help make them better. Now to celebrate!🎉🎉 #uwpharmacy2020

Retweet if you’d heard of Juneteenth.

Value-based deductible exemptions are a great way to preserve access and risk protection in a benefit design that also disincentivizes moral hazard consumption of low value care. My new post in Health Affairs blog with #UWCHOICE colleague Anirban Basu: healthaffairs.org/do/10.1377/hbl…

Great article by @cecilleavila in Incidental Economist about the use of the word ‘vulnerable’ in public health: “But we can only change what we can identify. If we disguise racism with the term “vulnerable” we won’t contemplate it, we won’t confront it.”

This headline made me very nervous until I realized he was talking about the Council of Economic Advisors #phew #mydegreeisstillrelavent Greg Mankiw's Blog: The Declining Role of the CEA gregmankiw.blogspot.com/2020/06/the-de…

Sure would be nice if summer fell on a weekend this year.

If the Covid-19 test turnaround time exceeds 7 days, then you are not identifying contagious cases in time to isolate them. It's almost like not having a testing program at all. It calls for an immediate lockdown or reversal of re-opening until turnaround time can be reduced.

It's been six years since Michael Brown's life was taken in Ferguson — reigniting a movement. We must continue the work of tackling systemic racism and reforming policing.

In South Korea, anyone can dial 1339 from anywhere in the country and schedule a COVID-19 test nearby that day. Why hasn’t the U.S. followed South Korea’s example, as so many other countries have? nyer.cm/Pz9IxRm

Women just suck it up and it makes it seem normal. But it's not. So I will be shouting it from the rooftops. "WOMEN DESERVE MORE CREDIT FOR SACRIFICING THEIR BODY FOR THE CONTINUATION OF SOCIETY"

So is Kaepernick taking a knee still an inappropriate way to protest?

I have been very stressed out by the activities at the capitol today and President Obama’s clear, truthful words give me comfort 🙏

Thank you to everyone putting in overtime to distribute and administer covid-19 vaccines! For example, my dissertation chair and now colleague, Ryan Hansen, who gave up his whole weekend to vaccinate Seattle health care workers. This is the leadership we need 🙏

Roses are red Their blossoms are fair “In the United States, drug prices reflect what the market will bear” Thank you ⁦Austin Frakt⁩ & The New York Times for completing my vday poem #healthpolicyvalentines nytimes.com/2021/02/11/ups…

If you're at extremely low risk for a severe case of COVID19 why does getting vaccinated make sense? The simple answer is that you still reap massive personal benefits from getting vaccinated because it helps end the pandemic. Let me explain 1/8

Excited to attend this discussion, which I’m guessing could also be named, “How economics contributes to the difficulty in enacting drug price reform” 😉

Kind of wish I was there!! #GoBlue
