“And frankly, it probably doesn’t make a lot of sense to go down further, because I mean, who drinks one-quarter of a drink?” May I offer a different view: people that have 1-2 drinks/week would be below that daily average. I know these studies are hard to control for but we can’t just dismiss it

Watch this. It's CNBC’s senior economics reporter: "It is about the eighth reason we've had for the tariffs. And now he’s saying he’s putting 50 per cent tariffs on Canada unless they agree to become the 51st state. That is insane. There is no other way of describing it."

Today we celebrated Chao’s last day with cake and laughter. She worked for 2 yrs in my lab and Mike’s lab contributing tremendously to our large animal studies-and even had twins along the way (though my campaign to name them Mike and Sara failed!). Best of luck, Chao - you will be missed!

Heartbreaking chats this week with students thinking of giving up on their dreams of getting a PhD. They worry about getting in PhD programs and careers post PhD. My suggestions: don’t be hasty, think broadly incl EU & Canada, & careers beyond traditional academia. What’re you telling your students?
