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.

If you thought MAHA was going to at least look at environmental risk in an unbiased way. Nope. A close friend of Vance is now head of NIEHS with no process amidst the shutdown: JD Vance officiated the wedding of new head of NIH environmental institute | Science | AAAS www.science.org/content/arti...

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.

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...
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.
