The best cure for loneliness is not more frequent interaction. It's more meaningful interaction.

Many people enjoy solitude. They can spend up to ~75% of their time alone without feeling isolated.

What matters most for well-being is the quality of connections, not the quantity.

The sycamore tree on Hadrian’s Wall is as close as our culture got to a sacred tree - venerated, visited, endlessly represented - anachronistic in age weaving Robin Hood and St Oswald and the frontier forts and tribes of the Roman wall - and now felled like the druids’ groves

So pleased to report that our Mount Sinai-Yale long COVID (MY-LC) paper with @putrinolab & others is now published!! Proud of the hard work of all who contributed. We found biological signatures that can distinguish people with vs. without #longCOVID (1/) https://t.co/t8ARWBKLsQ

@maxwalden_ Poignant words

[Max Walden @maxwalden_]

Very unattractive when academics (many of whom rely heavily on media reporting for their research) are patronising, dismissive and elitist about journalists. There is plenty of poor quality journalism out there, but also lots of bad scholarship!

[Bureau of Global Health Security and Diplomacy @StateDeptGHSD]

The Anti-Homosexuality Act will reverse the gains Uganda has made in its effort to end HIV/AIDS. @GlobalFund @UNAIDS & @PEPFAR call for the Act to be reconsidered so Uganda may continue on its path to ensure equitable access to health services & end AIDS as a public health threat by 2030.
