Ten Years After Death: An Exploration: What Writing About Mortality Taught Me About Living Ten years after publishing Death: An Exploration, I reflect on what writing about mortality taught me about life, meaning, and the unexpected rewards of authorship.

Ten years ago I published Death: An Exploration.

Writing a book about death didn’t just change my career—it changed how I think about time, loss, and meaning.

A decade later, I’m reflecting on what that journey taught me.

Key study of Grail’s cancer detection test fails in setback for company Grail's blood test for detecting cancer early failed to meet its main goal in a giant study being conducted with England’s NHS, the company said.

Company, new #tests for early #CancerDetection to decrease late-stage #cancer and #mortality sold 185k in 2025 at $1k a crack. Problem: just completed #RCT no benefit either outcome. Latest evidence cancer screening limitations, need to wait for evidence of benefit.
