What I'm doing now

Updated January 11th, 2026 at 12:03pm PST, in a lobby of a generic SFO hotel while waiting for a conference to start. Each year I tell myself I should do less business travel and each year I do even more. Here is for not getting any airline status in 2026!

While waiting, I am:

• Celebrating two recent publications in Nature Medicine both coming out two days ago after being years in the making, from trial inception to the final writeup.
• Planning for the fourth year of the Introduction to Clinical Trials at University of Maryland Baltimore County, to start in the Fall semester.
• Planning for an unwinding from Apple, for reasons you may have read about, and even soliciting expert help (I hope something comes of it!)
• Realizing that the said unwinding may be more challenging that I thought, considering all the apps I have grown to know and love, and with more being added almost every week.
• Adding titles to the ever-growing book pile, but also going through it at a good clip with Enshittification’s spiritual predecessor, Technofeudalism by Yanis Varoufakis currently in progress.
• Listening to Hermanos Gutiérrez
