Particularly weird from the perspective of a discipline housed in both. Respect, people! Also: railroads, the steam engine, the internet… Technological advancement is disruptive but at the end of the day we are all in this together.

In 2011, 47% of US male high school grads enrolled in college. Now, the share has dropped to 39%. Consequently, there's been a big drop in the number of men in college -- in 2022, there were 1 million fewer men age 18-24 enrolled than in 2011.

At Thanksgiving dinner last night, a couple family members asked me: what can RFK Jr do with vaccines? He isn't serious about changing things, is he? Here's what I told them. 1) RFK Jr has said he doesn't want to "take away" anybody's vaccines. But there are still lots of things he can do instead.
