Thank you for considering speaking with us - it could be in Austin when you are not in Houston?

@BenSasse here is our humble living room where CPS Lectures happens. We have had 168 gatherings since my late dad died in 2002. This one was a wonderful talk by Emily Esfahani Smith about the power of meaning + it reminds me of your talk w/Mr. Douthat🙏

@BenSasse I was so very moved by every piece of your talk w/Mr. Ross @DouthatNYT. WOW! Even SO many > could benefit by hearing you speak >. Would you consider speaking at our CPS Lectures salon - we'd buy many📚. I'm from NE too + we'd host in Austin or give FF miles for CA? 🙏

We were just talking about you tonight, @parthaskar, a group of two dozen gathered in Boston … love seeing this card, and I hope your ears are always tingling. Thank you for impacting so many beyond the UK as well as in the UK.

There are always moments we all go through

Moments of doubt

In my life?
Having these - helps

Still one of the greatest feedbacks ever received

And if Andrew Hattersley says so?

It is a moment of being much thankful for what life has given me x

@DanielJDrucker @NatureMedicine We're all lucky, us patients, to have _any_ medicine + a routine (on this med) of four capsules 3x a day shouldn't _be_ an issue, but might it be? Do you wonder if adherence was stressed +/or if it'd be an issue IRL? Do you wonder what results might be with more SGLT-2 use? TY!

As a PhD student, all I focused on was getting a PhD.

As a PhD supervisor, I focus on training students on the long-term process that leads to getting a PhD.
