My name is Gregory Katz, and I’m a cardiologist and Assistant Professor of Medicine at the NYU Grossman School of Medicine. I’m also an Associate Program Director of the Internal Medicine Residency. I graduated from New York University Grossman School of Medicine, and completed my residency at NYU Langone Medical Center, where I served for a year as senior chief resident. I stayed at NYU for my cardiology fellowship, where I served as chief fellow and was selected as fellow of the year for three consecutive years.

Gumshoe is a fashion newsletter that explores strategies for shopping smarter (i.e. not necessarily more) — often within your existing wardrobe.  Because I believe there’s room on the internet for more rumination on style and shopping from a highly curated, personal POV that isn’t beholden to the same financial or traffic-oriented priorities that a larger publisher would be. I say this as both a long-time fan of those larger publishers and as someone who is grateful to have had opportunity to write for many of them: While the scale of their content and audiences lend them a certain gravity, there are certain constraining realities to how they publish, like the fact that the content is funded by advertisers and retailer kickbacks (a prevalent revenue strategy known as “affiliate marketing”), or framed to maximize clicks (“SEO marketing”), or watered down to appeal to a mass audience.

Q. WHO ARE YOU? You might as well call me Alice. Two and a half years ago, I launched a lark Twitter account, @AliceFromQueens, that’s gained 30,000 followers. On its way up, the account grabbed a bit of cult fame, some media coverage, and regular entrée into the Discourse. Calling this unexpected would be putting it feebly.  Q. WHAT IF I DON’T CARE ABOUT TWITTER? This substack will not rehash my Twitter.

September 2023 It’s my newsletter about the things that improve everyday home life.

Idle Thoughts is a newsletter in which I hope to share short personal essays, reflections on culture (including books and films) and political commentary with a degree of spontaneity and autonomy that isn’t so easily afforded to me elsewhere. I have been a professional writer for eight years and while I have contributed to a range of newspapers and magazines (and still do on occasion) with opinion, features, essays and interviews I have felt increasingly limited by both the slow death of print and online journalism and the lack of left-wing political media in the UK.

If you believe that pursuits like reading, writing, quizzing, and reflection helps build a rich and fulfilling inner life and keeps you clued to the world, then IZ is for you. I’m Ramanand.

Questions are usually inspired by recent events, making this a handy little source of news and curiosity.
