Law is a major social determinant of health #Eleventy #LegalEpi #PublicHealthLaw #PHLR #HealthLawRocks

Supreme Court Rules Against Makers of Flavored Vapes Popular With Teens The justices handed a win, for now, to the Food and Drug Administration in its rejection of applications from makers of flavored liquids used in e-cigarettes.

Unanimous overruling of the 5th Circuit -- nice to see public health regulations surviving in the era of Loper Bright #PHLaw #AdministrativeLaw #PublicHealthLaw #ModernAdministrativeState #TobaccoControl #HealthLawRocks

Hello #HMIChat! Tuning in from Boston! Packing like crazy for the big move to St. Louis and @SLULAW! #HLP22 #HealthLawRocks

Great time with #HealthLawRocks @ASLMENews colleagues at #HLP19 this week! Today I am at the @AmerMedicalAssn House of Delegates #AMAMtg down the street, but sincere thanks to @LoyolaLaw for a successful conference!

Congrats to Prof. John Jacobi @SetonHallLaw, recipient of the prestigious @ASLMENews Jay Healey Teaching Award. @nhuberfeld1 @BU_Law @BUSPH announces the award. #HLP19 #HealthLawRocks

#HLP19 #HealthLawRocks @nadiansawicki @LoyolaLaw welcomes us to @ASLMENews reception @SignatureRoom95

#HLP19 #HealthLawRocks @haffajee_r @umichsph presents work done in conjunction with Richard Frank, MD @harvardmed @HMSHCP and funded by @Arnold_Ventures: "Generic Drug Policy as a Barrier to Opioid Use Disorder Treatment"

#HLP19 #HealthLawRocks @LeoBeletsky @NUSL @NUSLHealth addresses misnomers associated with the words "opioid" (most overdoses are polysubstance) and "epidemic" (we can't treat this like an epidemic, quarantine/involuntary commitment are counterproductive). Need HARM REDUCTION!

#HLP19 #HealthLawRocks @nicolasterry @iuhealthlaw @IUMcKinney introduces us to #SDoH as applied to the opioid crisis, setting the stage for a great panel!

#HLP19 #HealthLawRocks @vgkoch @DePaulLaw @MacLeanEthics proposes eliminating legal liability for informed consent -- the threat of liability causes physicians to neglect true goals of informed consent: to facilitate discussion and understanding

#HLP19 #HealthLawRocks @REWolitz @StanfordLaw @StanfordHP discusses @NIH reasonable pricing clauses, aruges for (1) enforceability; (2) nonambiguous standards; and (3) a default rule.

#HLP19 #HealthLawRocks I'm speaking next in room 1102 on New Developments in Pharmaceutical Antitrust Law -- will be a 10,000-foot view of the field in 15 minutes -- would take hours to flush out all the nuances! cc: @profmikecarrier @akesselheim @PORTAL_Research @HarvardMIT_CRS

#HLP19 #HealthLawRocks Marc Rodwin @Suffolk_Law discusses drug pricing in France with lessons for US policymakers.

#HLP19 #HealthLawRocks @profjaimeking @UCHastingsLaw @ucconsortium begins the next panel with a broader discussion of federalism and its impact on state legislation

#HLP19 #HealthLawRocks @jrobertsuhlc @HLPI_UHLC claims she spent more time on this word cloud than on the rest of her talk, implores us to tweet it out! Done!

#HLP19 #HealthLawRocks @jrobertsuhlc @HLPI_UHLC highlights the famous Moore v. Regents case, envisions how the case would have been written from a feminist perspective.

#HLP19 #HealthLawRocks @ProfLWiley @HealthAUWCL @AUWCL says it's time to "bring women out of the footnotes," discusses synergy between two big projects she is working on.

To start off Feminist Perspectives on Health Law and Bioethics panel, @profmohapatra @IUMcKinney @iuhealthlaw discusses the default male model in medicine and health care delivery. #HLP19 #HealthLawRocks

#HLP19 #HealthLawRocks With regard to @HollyLynchez point that #RightToTry was intended to undermine @US_FDA -- the law's original sponsor @RonJohnsonWI explicitly said so: via @statnews

#RightToTry panel: @ErinPaquetteMD @NorthwesternMed @LurieChildrens @LuriePICU discusses the case study of #nusinersin #Spinraza for #SMA (spinal muscular atrophy) #HLP19 #HealthLawRocks

Seema Shah @NorthwesternMed @LurieChildrens raises important questions with regard to data collection, echoing @HollyLynchez concern about lack of incentives to collect/report data generated from #RightToTry #HLP19 #HealthLawRocks
