I finally got to Lauterbrunnen and Gimmelwald this week after watching @RickSteves’ Best of the Alps episode so many times over the years. A thrill! Had to wear my Rick T-shirt!

@juanmcastellan6 Thank you for your note, Juan. I really like your two-sentence summary — would have been a good title of the article!

Tributes to lives well lived are so re-centering. If you haven’t seen it yet, consider watching the meaningful tribute to Michael Gerson on the NewHour, with reflections by David Brooks and Ruth Marcus. https://t.co/Q9yh0QaTi1

Spent time at #APPAM2022 today with Becka and we both said we were missing Rob Hollister. But looking at the collegiality and rigor of the conf, Rob’s spirit is here. #mentors

A few pics from my New Mexico trip. I went early to hike near Santa Fe, so rejuvenating. Also got to ride the Chama scenic railroad w/ colleagues, like LFC’s Charles Sallee, after LegisStat hearings.

I’m in Columbus, OH, to give 3 days of evidence training to state execs, but flew in early to visit the CMA. Loved it. Art museums bring me joy and also help me reflect. Below: On the water w/ Boudin, Monet and Pissarro.

The @StateDept's learning agenda, out today, is a great example of what the Evidence Act hoped for: meaningful agency advances in an evidence culture. Also shows the maturing of the evidence movement beyond mainly human services. https://t.co/1FWrGwE0Lh @ERosenbach @CassSunstein

@nytdavidbrooks I’m thinking of Abraham Joshua Heshel’s concept of self-transcendence, as helpfully articulated by @HeldShai in this biography of Heschel. As powerful a concept as ever.

@Catherine_Teach Thanks so much for your kind note, Katie!

@MDRC_News @PrezMDRC Great to hear and congrats to John!

[Andy Feldman @andyfeldman]

I thought the White House Summit on evidence this week was terrific. Leadership signaling is key. One call to action stood out to me: @NaomiGoldstein1's call for PRA reform. I transcribed her remarks below. Also sharing reform ideas: https://t.co/zHRMYGfY9Q

@MDRC_News @NaomiGoldstein1 @OPRE_ACF Thanks, John!

[Andy Feldman @andyfeldman]

Cheers to evidence leader Naomi Goldstein, who retires today from @OPRE_ACF after 21 years.🥂💐 On the podcast, she shares leadership reflections & advice — plus explains why OPRE’s work is vital & its staff is “a national treasure.” https://t.co/Vmz1HjIAig
