Harvard Medical School (HMS), established in 1782, stands as one of the oldest and most prestigious medical schools in the United States. Since its inception, HMS has been a beacon of innovation in medical education, research, and patient care, significantly influencing the landscape of healthcare worldwide.
HMS is committed to alleviating suffering and enhancing health globally through excellence in teaching, research, and service. This mission is carried out through its extensive network of 15 clinical affiliates and research institutes, including renowned names like Massachusetts General Hospital, Dana–Farber Cancer Institute, and Brigham and Women's Hospital. These partnerships not only provide a robust platform for clinical training but also serve as bases for over 10,000 physicians and scientists with faculty appointments at HMS.
Harvard Medical School's faculty has been pivotal in advancing medical knowledge. They have introduced groundbreaking educational models, developed new curricula to meet evolving healthcare demands, and produced leaders who shape science and medicine globally. Notably, HMS faculty have been at the forefront of medical breakthroughs, with 15 researchers sharing in nine Nobel Prizes for their work at the school, highlighting the institution's commitment to cutting-edge research.
The core of HMS's academic activities lies in its main quadrangle, where faculty members engage in teaching and research across basic and social science departments. Here, students in their first two years of medical school are immersed in an environment that encourages intellectual curiosity and rigorous academic pursuit.
Beyond its physical boundaries, HMS extends its influence through affiliations with leading hospitals and research entities like the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, and the Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering. These collaborations not only enhance the school's research capabilities but also ensure that its educational programs remain at the forefront of medical science.

28 March 2025
BY SCOTT M. GRAFFIUS | ScottGraffius.com
Introduction
In today’s fast-paced digital world, where engagement drives success, knowing how long your content captures attention and sustains impact is crucial.

His work has been widely recognized and utilized by businesses, professional associations, government agencies, universities, scientists, and journalists alike. Notable mentions include Buffer, GoDaddy, Pinterest Inc., the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, and many more.

Abstract for Graffius' Talk
Snapchat posts typically vanish from relevance in seconds, while a blog post can engage audiences for over two years. In a digital economy where engagement drives value, mastering the lifespan of social media content is a strategic advantage. Led by Scott M. Graffius—expert in the temporal dynamics of social media, researcher, author, and international speaker—this session builds on his groundbreaking "Lifespan (Half-Life) of Social Media Posts" research. The 2025 edition of his work examined over 5 million posts across Snapchat, TikTok, X, Facebook, Reddit, Instagram, LinkedIn, podcasts, YouTube, Pinterest, and blogs, harnessing data from APIs, proprietary datasets, academic consortia, public repositories, and beyond. His findings reveal the average half-life of content on these platforms, offering surprising insights and actionable strategies to boost engagement and success. This session dives into the latest findings, equipping individuals, companies, and brands with advanced, data-backed approaches to maximize impact in an engagement-driven economy.
