Scenes from London, including 1. The absolute terror of holding the original manuscript of Isaac Newton’s Principia, 2. The wonder of Yayoi Kusama’s infinity rooms, and 3. Scenes from @afc_wimbledon’s biggest win at Plough Lane, including my embrace of our heroic head of football operations Craig Cope.

Last year, my brother, Hank, was diagnosed with a cancer called Hodgkin lymphoma. Hodgkin is usually curable — with proper treatment, five-year survival rates are about 90 percent — but still, the experience was terrifying. My little brother is 43. He has a young kid. The world needs him here. I need him here.
After four months of grueling treatment, Hank was declared to be in remission. The hope and expectation is that his cancer is cured and that he will go on and live a long life.
Now consider that, like Hodgkin lymphoma, tuberculosis is also generally curable. And it’s the world’s deadliest infectious disease. In 2022, TB killed 1.3 million people, according to the World Health Organization — more than covid-19 or malaria or HIV. Each week, 25,000 people die of TB, a bacterial infection that primarily attacks the lungs.
TB is not easy to cure — the best standard of care requires between four and nine months of antibiotics taken daily — but neither is Hodgkin lymphoma. In fact, my brother’s cancer was vastly more expensive and complex to cure than TB is, and yet the cost of TB diagnosis and treatment is central to why the disease remains so deadly.

Christian Pulisic really balled is what I’m saying. #usmnt #worldcup
“I didn’t even know you could interview to direct a movie.” 🎬🤣 @tatwdmovie
Author, actor, gym teacher – @johngreenwritesbooks is a triple threat. #TurtlesAllTheWayDown, a new film based on the best-selling novel by John Green, is streaming on Max. #MaxGetsMovies
Thank you for watching the movie. I’m so grateful you feel that we got something right about the experience of living with ocd and anxiety. #turtlesallthewaydown
In addition to being one of the best-selling young-adult authors of all time, @johngreenwritesbooks (author of The Fault in Our Stars, Turtles All the Way Down, and The Anthropocene Reviewed, and one half of the “Vlogbrothers” with his brother Hank #nerdfighters) has become a passionate champion for global health issues. He is one of the leading voices in the fight against tuberculosis, the deadliest infectious disease, annually killing more people than COVID-19, malaria, or HIV. For this very special talk, Green invites Portland audiences to consider what it will take to end a disease that is not only imminently curable, but also preventable. Don’t miss John Green on Wednesday, June 5 at 7pm @revolutionhall as part of the 2024 International Speaker Series (see link in bio to buy tickets)!
It’s time to make the secret family hot sauce, which fermented for four months.
I am so excited for y’all to see the Turtles All the Way Down movie. And I’m so grateful to @isabelamerced and the whole cast and crew.
Join us for the YouTube premiere of Crash Course Lecture: Tuberculosis on Monday 3/25 at 12 noon ET.
The story of TB is the story of the deadliest infectious disease of all time. Its impact throughout history has touched every facet of life. In a brand new Crash Course lecture format, host John Green will dive into the history of this curable disease, as well as investigate why so many are still dying from it.

There are lots of ways to write good books, and I’m suspicious of anyone who claims their way is the one true path. Creative expression is deeply and inherently personal. Don’t be discouraged if your way is different. Of course listen and learn all you can, but also listen to what’s within and how you want to express it. Indianapolis, Indiana

New nemesis just dropped.
How good movies become great ones. #turtlesallthewaydown
Our Crash Course lecture on tuberculosis is the beginning of a new kind of in-depth, documentary-style video and we are so excited to share it with you.
For #WorldRefugeeDay, I’m reading this passage with @refugees from ‘SKY PIECE V’ by Yoko Ono. The piece speaks to the idea of connection and empathy. Picture yourself being uprooted, far from your home. At that point, a small gesture like putting your coat around someone could carry a huge weight. It’s all about discovering comfort and support in the face of uncertainty. Share your Words of Welcome below. 🌍 #WithRefugees
