I had assumed that given the Peltzman effect a sharper knife would make me safer. Unfortunately I was constrained by my mental focus capacity.

Brand new very sharp chefs knife. Time to focus my mental energy to avoid cutting myself while cooking.

So of course, I burn myself.

The day after my first was born I was sitting and holding him and said to my wife,

β€œHe’s already so big, it feels like he was born just yesterday.”

And that’s how you almost die by telling a dad joke.

Family game of monopoly, I was winning. Landed on my son, lot of 1$. Not enough to wipe me out but enough to extend the game.

My offer: I’ll give you everything and you win. In exchange you clean up the board without making a huge fuss, and we can play something else.

Pareto improvement.

Jay Bhattacharya picked as new NIH director.

Jay wrote me my first ever journal rejection letter.

I also now have a textbook that competes with his textbook.

These are unrelated…probably

My book came out one year ago.

It was the most fun I’ve had writing professionally.

Thank you so much to everyone that has read it or used it.

Knowing that people are enjoying it makes me so incredibly happy.

Dad jokes are a pedagogical tool.

Like many of you, I too am crushed that Economics of Healthcare: A Brief Introduction was snubbed for a National Book Award.

We’ll get em with the second edition.
