HNI co-director @ianmcorbin1, cowriting with @ChrisMurphyCT today in @thedailybeast. Very much worth a read.

We think of social connection, #isolation, or #loneliness as personal issues, but these are also public health and societal issues. In this podcast, I share more on how we might affect meaningful change through #policy. https://t.co/ubxcV4PqiM

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

There is a loneliness epidemic in America today. It's driven by social media companies that build addictive products, an economy that leaves too little free time, and neoliberal economics which has gutted the power of local communities.

Politicians should wake up to this crisis.

[The Human Network Initiative @HNet_Initiative]

This looks amazing.

So excited about this!

Medicine often prioritizes tech+biological solutions. What if it began to recognize the impact of social interconnectedness? W/ a TWCF grant, @ianmcorbin1 @HNet_Initiative will study how interpersonal community affects brain health+ #flourishing in Uganda: https://t.co/ylnQcU4mSF
