Such an important piece from @mad_sters and @DavidCGrabowski on VP Harris’ policy proposal to expand Medicare to cover LTC at home!
New @NEJM Perspective piece on VP Harris' policy proposal to "Expand Medicare to Cover Long-term Care at Home." @DavidCGrabowski and I discuss how this could be a game-changer for many Americans, as well some key questions that will need to be answered. nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NE…

Thrilled to see this out in print. Hoping that with more evidence on how domestic violence unfolds and with more evidence-based solutions, domestic violence will become less and less relevant to future generations of women. Now, back to work to make that a reality.

After a grounding moment with @DocApplebaum's, @chvanhoutven pushes us again: We should all estimate value of caregiver time and caregiver interventions in #research. Some ways include: caregiving hours, proxy costs, opportunity costs. #BBPgh24

Louder
Venezuela is under a dictatorship.
The election fraud is a way to finally silence the voices of the large majority of Venezuelans.
People, this is about basic human rights too.
Despite of your political beliefs, a dictatorship is a dictatorship.
Keep Vzla in the news.
We have to be louder about Venezuela.

The National Institute on Aging is an essential national treasure for so many reasons... one of which is that it launched the field of geroscience, studying aging at a molecular level and applying this to transform human health. Happy 50th NIA! jamanetwork.com/journals/jam…

Interventions developed & tested in research are rarely adopted in real-world settings. During the national rollout of #CaregiversFIRST training, site-level #adaptations were diverse & occurred more frequently in sites with early adoption #QUERI tinyurl.com/2p8fd2dx

Venezuela issue is not a right versus left wing movement. It is the basic fight between Democracy vs Dictatorship.Several groups are taking stands on the Venezuelan issue from their political balcony forgetting that a Dictatorship is a Dictatorship, left or right, it is WRONG
