Grad School May Not Be the Best Way to Spend $100,000 – Dorie Clark – Harvard Business Review
There are obvious cases where a graduate degree is mandatory; you’re not going to get very far as a doctor or lawyer if you haven’t done the requisite schooling. But what about everyone else?

Association Between BMI Measured Within a Year After Diagnosis of Type 2 Diabetes and Mortality
CONCLUSIONS: Patients categorized as normal weight or obese with T2DM within a year of diagnosis of T2DM exhibit variably higher mortality outcomes compared with the overweight group, confirming a U-shaped association of BMI with mortality. Whether weight loss interventions reduce mortality in all T2DM patients requires study.
