  • Drug Story: Thomas Goetz on Drugs, Diseases and The Medicalization of Everyday Life

    Drug Story: Thomas Goetz on Drugs, Diseases and The Medicalization of Everyday Life
    2026/06/03

    Does the history of drugs tell us something bigger about the world? That’s what former Wired executive editor and UC Berkeley Senior Impact Fellow Thomas Goetz is betting on with his new podcast Drug Story. He joins Claudia to talk about how big drug breakthroughs have shaped how we live and what it will really take to build health in our society.

    Thomas and Claudia dive into:

    • Fluoride: The paradox of public health success becoming invisible
    • Why modern culture medicalizes ordinary human experiences like sleep, aging & energy
    • How public health needs to communicate differently, think bigger, and position itself as essential infrastructure for everyday health

    Thomas says the illusion of free will makes consumers feel like unhealthy choices are their choice alone:

    “There is some agency, like somebody decides to take a cigarette out of the pack. People decide whether to have a Coke instead of a glass of water or what have you. But there's also this vast machine, an invisible universe that is so powerful in compelling us from the commercials that are on our TV shows to the infrastructure of fast food in our neighborhoods. And it just is this easy inertia where oftentimes we don't actually have free will… We have much less free will than we think we do when it comes to things like what we eat, how we get our entertainment, where we live. There's a lot that is not really up to us and our choices.”

    The ARPA for Philanthropy: Kumar Garg on Funding 'Big If True' Ideas in Science and Tech
    2026/05/20
    After spending time in the Obama White House, Kumar Garg came away with a toolset of skills to help drive change, spotlight good ideas and scale them. Now he’s applying those ideas to philanthropy. As the co-founders of Renaissance Philanthropy, Kumar and Tom Kalil have built an organization around a deceptively simple idea: What if philanthropy could help scientists, technologists, and innovators think bigger — and then actually fund the work at the scale required?Kumar and Claudia dive into:Renaissance Philanthropy’s approach: time bound and thesis driven fundingHow Kumar would spend $500 million on health right nowHow public health and academics could think biggerKumar’s intriguing ‘open notebook’ idea:“It's very valuable to me if a researcher has the equivalent of an open notebook. These are all the ideas… Here's my active research projects. Here's all the interesting sort of experiments I've done… you can imagine then sending an agent out and read[ing] people's open notebook.. it would be a way to discover people's work.”Relevant LinksLearn more about Renaissance PhilanthropyGet info on the Big If True Science Accelerator (BITS)See a photo of Kumar’s White House white board on TwitterAbout Our GuestsKumar Garg is the President at Renaissance Philanthropy.Kumar has helped to shape the science and tech landscape for almost two decades.

    2026/04/22
    Halle Tecco is an investor, entrepreneur, and author of the new book Massively Better Healthcare. In this live conversation, she offers advice for aspiring health tech founders, reflects on why “hustle culture” needs to be kept in check, and makes the case that founders should become anthropologists of the problems they want to solve. Most importantly, she argues that today’s founders need to be “bilingual” — fluent in both healthcare and technology.Halle and Claudia cover:The early days of Rock Health in a walkup office in SF’s ChinatownHow she learned to be a founder without the grindWhy AI is growing faster in healthcare than in any other industryHalle says there is lots of opportunity to build businesses in the healthcare industry, but you need to pick something you are passionate about:“It is extremely hard to be a founder. It is 10 times harder to be a founder in healthcare… you're working on what I think are the most important problems that we will be able to solve, but it's also really challenging. [Make] sure you're picking a problem that you're genuinely very passionate about solving. That will help drive you and be your North Star when things get inevitably very, very hard. “Relevant LinksBuy Halle’s book Massively Better HealthcareListen to Halle Tecco’s Podcast “The Heart of Healthcare”Learn more about Rock HealthMenlo Ventures report on the state of AI in healthcareAbout Our GuestHalle Tecco is an entrepreneur, angel investor, and podcast host passionate about fixing our healthcare system.
