The research of my physician-scientist mom, Dr. Meredith Halks Miller, led to the founding of the revolutionary $8B cancer diagnostics company @GrailBio, but she was recently written out of their origin story. Setting the record straight here: https://t.co/aX54SeN9bL #WomenInSTEM

For decades, scientists have attributed the decline in fertility after age 35 mainly to chromosomal errors in aging eggs. Yet new evidence suggests the process begins earlier—and within the cellular machinery that maintains egg quality and longevity. A new study examined the use

🧬 2025 may be remembered as the year healthspan research quietly matured. Here’s a year-in-review of the most interesting healthspan research from 2025—organized around ten findings that reshaped how we think about aging biology. 👇

For years, we’ve understood stress as a contributor to burnout, anxiety, and chronic disease. But new research is revealing something deeper—stress doesn’t just affect how we feel. It accelerates how we age. This month, Dr. Aaron Slusher, a research scientist at the Yale School

My husband @dantawfik is launching his tech healthcare venture, Zen Patient, which makes it simple to launch a DTC telehealth platform. The traditional paradigm of healthcare delivery is changing, for the better. So proud of you baby and glad to be on your rocketship :-)

The power of the pen. @ElanaMD wrote about her mother’s research that led to the founding of @GrailBio. A Fast Company article has been amended to include Dr. Meredith Halks-Miller’s contribution to science, & recent articles in The Economist and WSJ lead with her discovery.

My mom, Dr. Meredith Halks Miller, is starting to get the recognition she deserves for her original research that led to the founding of @GrailBio: https://t.co/M6ZvfeGTxA @TheEconomist #WomenInSTEM Proud of you mom

We need to remove the administrative burdens of treating patients and spend more time building relationships with them - listen to their stories, and learn their beliefs. It's not just about finding the right prescription, it's understanding how you can heal them as a whole.

What I’ve discovered is that the most meaningful change comes through not just effort, but insight. It���s not about putting your nose to the grindstone and forcing yourself to feel a certain way, but about learning about yourself, and taking actions that align with your values.

I’ve been there before too, even when everything in life looks good “on paper,” still not feeling happy or satisfied. I’ve felt blocked from doing things I knew I should do, without understanding why.

Most of us trying to make our way through the world aren’t sick, but we aren’t well, either. We’re burdened by fear, doubt or insecurity. We feel “off” – maybe slightly anxious or depressed (but not to the point of being “clinically diagnosed”) – and don’t know why.

Are you so busy running around doing all the things you're supposed to that you don’t even realize something is "off" until you stop? Maybe for a weekend off or vacation – and in the silence and calm are flooded with an unsettled feeling that something in your life isn’t right?

Truth from my husband @dantawfik

An amazing humor piece from my friend @valeriegroth... the kind that makes you do a laugh-cry, because at first you laugh because it's funny, and then you cry because it's true:

(9) people can handle no a lot better than you think. 4. Let people experience the consequences of their actions. We say yes to people we love because we don’t want bad things to happen to them. But trust me, you’re not doing that person any favors.

(8) 3. People can handle “no” a lot better than you think. Often we say yes to things just because we’re afraid we’re going to hurt the other person’s feelings or make them feel bad. But trust me, as someone who’s had to say no in some pretty difficult situations,

(7) 2. Be direct, even if it's uncomfortable. Get used to the sound of “no,” coming out of your mouth, because if you want to stay sane, you’re going to be saying it a lot. And if someone’s not hearing your “no,” it’s your fault for not being direct enough.

(6) Working on setting stronger boundaries? Here's what you need to know... 1. People don’t hear what you say, they hear what you do. You have to communicate your boundaries not just through your words, but through your actions.
