A word about my latest feature for The Atlantic: Though it’s about sleep, I am hoping it’s not a *typical* story about sleep. I despise most stories about sleep. Why? Glad you asked... 1/7

Been a while since I shared this. The book's out soon--March 11--so banking a bunch of preorders would be a tremendous help.

Gilgo Beach Defendant Rex Heuermann Is Charged in a Seventh Killing The man whom authorities call a serial killer was charged with second-degree murder in the case of Valerie Mack, who disappeared in 2000.

Breaking News: The man accused in the Gilgo Beach serial killings was charged with a seventh murder.

Oh thank you Kevin! You’re too kind

- hey hunter

- yes, dad? what is it????

- could you pass the mashed potatoes?

- oh for cryin out loud

I appreciate that Biden let Hunter sweat it out all through Thanksgiving weekend before finally pardoning him. That’s some masterful passive-aggressive parenting there

Thanks!

Still processing this wonderful praise from one of my favorite authors. Thank you @lauralippman.bsky.social 🙏🏻

No comment except that it’s awesome

Last night on the family group chat

Picture shows a pair of laboratory scissors in process of cutting into a DNA double-helix (not to scale).

Sure, CRISPR-based gene-editing has revolutionized what we do in the lab, but what no-one talks about is how difficult it is to find the tiny scissors when you accidentally drop them in the middle of an experiment.

New from me in @NYTmag: a complete year by year breakdown of the failures of the Gilgo Beach murder investigation. Everything they needed, they had almost on Day 1. What took so long to find a suspect who was in plain sight, exactly where they always thought he’d be? www.nytimes.com/2023/10/19/m...

I hate doing the Tinkerbell/Jeb “please clap” thing but look, here’s the preorder link. It would mean a lot to someone if you could at least click it
