@huma.bsky.social this book is such a wild ride! Disturbing, but really good.

With so much of the public health and health care system in turmoil, why not worry about another problem?!

A warning about the looming threat of public health law vacuums from me and my wonderful colleague @profgoldberg.bsky.social.

Dr. Weinmeyer and I are working on this concept of “public health law vacuums” and seeing what, if anything, it can help with! #PHLaw

Pilsen is really good. 20 years ago I worked at small law firm on 26th st. Good food down there.

Nice to run into you down at UChicago.
