Very fun and rewarding to collaborate with Lizzy on the lesson plan: “Social Scientific Tools for Medical Educators” (and, of course, also to plug the new book with @michaelbrownstein.bsky.social & @dryan149.bsky.social for @mitpress.bsky.social).

Long time in the making... #siblings #chewbacca

The long-awaited, much-anticipated Madva & Madva Collabo is canon!

Huge thanks to the *other* Dr. Madva -- psychiatrist and Co-Director of the Clinical Educators Program at Mass General (who also happens to be my sister, Lizzy) -- for inviting me to speak to the psych residents last week!

Ivy interview and mini-course is featured on their front page today! Ivy CEO and founder Beri Meric and I had a wide-ranging conversation about education, healthcare, climate change, shoring up democracy, and the power of leaders to shape norms in their institutions.

A genuine pleasure swinging by Brandeis last week to talk about Somebody Should Do Something with the Philosophy grad students... esp CPP alum, CCEP Student Fellow, DHC Student Fellow, Double Major in Philosophy and Communication, and overall unstoppable rock star Katie Priest!!! We miss you Katie!

Super fun *start* to Thursday evening at least, and huge thanks to Michael's and my moms for rallying so many of our Philly friends and family! @upenn.edu

Sighting of our book in Porter Square, which we'll be visiting on 10/15!

"Somebody should do something!"
