150 years ago today, at precisely 8pm, the world of art changed forever.

What happened? A small, independent art exhibition opened in Paris.

It was a financial failure and barely 3,000 people went — but, in time, these artists would come to be known as 'the Impressionists'...

Guys … this isn’t just a women’s fight. This is our fight too.

We have wives, significant others, sisters & daughters. We have an obligation to fight with them.

We were lucky to live in a state where abortion in legal.

We didn’t have to wait until my wife’s life was in imminent danger, or where sepsis irrevocably damaged her reproductive system.

We also didn’t have to drive to another state.

As Colorado becomes just the second state in the country to ban use of the term “excited delirium” on police and autopsy reports… following our yearlong investigation…

I want to take a moment to explain the motivation behind our work.

'More than three-quarters of children want to spend more time in nature, the National Trust has found... Nearly two-thirds – 63% – of parents are able to take their children to nature spaces only once a week or less, citing accessibility as the main barrier.'

As an OB/Gyn and a Urogynecologist I just really want women to know that reproduction is an option. Not an obligation.

And you deserve full information and resources to choose the right one for you, and you alone.

'More than 3/4s of all U.S. doctors are now employed by..corporate entities, as rampant consolidation continues to shrink the number of independent physicians.. Corporate entities...are motivated to put profits first.'

Grief cannot be managed. I think this is part of what makes it so difficult for people who are used to being fixers. ❤️‍🩹

Few things are as inevitable as the word “battle” appearing in the obituary for a patient who died of cancer

But we need to reframe the disease in a manner that does not imply cowardice or ignobility for level-headed refusal of treatment

The piece I wrote with Peter Hames on “point solution fatigue” in the employer space continues to spark debate!

Thanks Marissa Plescia for featuring me in a piece about why this channel is so hard, and what business models new companies digital health should be thinking about…

There is this parable about the tortoise and the hare. But if you want to succeed in digital health, you have to be a cockroach. If you stick around long enough, you'll get somewhere. Because nothing happens fast.

Years some of the biggest companies were founded:

“Taking down the female founder & CEO of a startup” seems to be in vogue again. The double standard sickens me.

I once worked with marissamayer. She is brilliant, hard working, and cares.

She’s not perfect but at least she’s in the arena.

One of the top reasons companies die in health tech is overcapitalization. I can’t tell you how many growth stage founders I’ve talked to lately who told me they wished they’d raised less and at a lower valuation. Huge problem, rarely discussed.
