Interesting @nberpubs by Chen, Persson, Polyakova; using data on med school admission *lotteries* in Sweden, they find that having a family member who's a doc leads to larger longevity, med adherence, vax rates, etc., presumably via expertise & not income

Whoever decided to brand the slowest option on @Uber as 'Express' pool is a mad marketing scientist.
