In Kyoto for a ceremony for three friends who have been authorized to teach the historic/foundational shakuhachi repertoire. Have been visiting temples, meeting fellow aficionados, hiking on beautiful mountain paths, with more to come. A wonderful way to celebrate a milestone birthday.

It’s awkward posting for something nominally in my honor but this is really an event to support the large, dedicated, compassionate and transformative team at the Seaver Autism Center. Please support our wonderful team! And stop by if you can!

This was certainly not the main point of the post :-) but I see your point and will try to check with the church next time I am on the square. Will edit the post.

JD Vance officiated the wedding of new head of NIH environmental institute Unusual hiring process raises fears of political favoritism

If you thought MAHA was going to at least look at environmental risk in an unbiased way. Nope.

The bell in First Congregational Church in Falmouth, MA was forged in 1796 by Paul Revere. It has been rung over 30,000,000 times. Today the congregation rang it especially for the No Kings event.

Nine years ago I was honored to be inducted into the National Academy of Medicine. But the president of NAM has been so muted about the devastating impact of the current administration on health sciences. I look forward to working with Dr Bertagnolli, the incoming president of NAM, from July 2026.

Exclusive: Meet Richard Frye, who studies leucovorin for autism Frye has led two placebo-controlled trials of the folate supplement in autistic people; the first was suspended by regulators, and the other has yet to be published.

Appropriate clinical testing of leucovorin and evaluating the role of antibodies to the folate receptor as a biomarker are straightforward studies and could have easily been carried out since the underlying hypotheses were first suggested by Dr. Richard Fry. www.thetransmitter.org/spectrum/exc...

Exclusive: The 23 studies the FDA based its expanded leucovorin label on The studies include 46 people, mostly toddlers, who have cerebral folate deficiency due to variants in a folate transporter.

It is shocking how HHS is trying to obscure the definition of cerebral folate deficiency to push for approvals for an unproven treatment with *no data on long term safety*. www.thetransmitter.org/spectrum/exc...

To those I may have wronged

I ask forgiveness.

To this I may have helped,

I wish I could have done more.

To those I neglected to help

I ask for understanding.

To those who helped me

I thank you with all my Heart.
