Meet the new biotechnology, built of living cells, that could help bring greater equity to the highly inequitable world of baby making — including better/easier #IVF , new egg cells from older women, and even biological children of same-sex couples. My latest for Boston Globe Ideas

Scientists have grown an “ovaroid,” an assembly of cells designed to mimic the follicle of a human ovary. It's a huge step toward developing a suite of biotechnologies that could make the previously impossible possible in baby-making, Grace Rubenstein writes. trib.al/JXhQyYz

Amid the orchards of California, loneliness lurks for especially vulnerable new mothers: #immigrants . My latest for STAT on #postpartum #depression and the doctors trying to help. This is not happening just here, it's everywhere. statnews.com/2023/09/13/pos…

“The sexy science is: ‘I’m going to make an enzyme that breaks down plastics. But the make-or-break thing from an economic perspective is what you do with all the stuff after you break it down.”

It’s time to talk about — and research and invest in — a pretty big thing that we barely talk about: #Menopause Because its impact is way bigger than most of us realize. … My latest on Daisy Robinton, PhD in @NEOdotLIFE neo.life/2021/12/daisy-….

When a big system won’t solve the problem that means the world to you… change the system. That’s the approach of #RareDiseases innovator and patient Onno Faber. I describe his latest disruption in @NEOdotLIFE mag. neo.life/2021/09/the-ch…

Not exactly. You can be vaccinated and carry the virus (carrier). But if the viral load is so low you can't transmit (not a transmitter) spread is blocked and we move onto the pandemic exit ramp.

'While every U.S. county has seen #hunger rates rise, the steepest jumps have been in some of the wealthiest counties, where overall affluence obscures the tenuous finances of low-wage workers.” #healthequity khn.org/news/article/r…

Out now! This enlightening & entertaining first episode of WorkLife S4. I loved co-creating this with Adam Grant TED Talks and Transmitter Media. Listen to learn why we end up doubling down on bad decisions — and how to change that pattern.

No band-aid on my shoulder yet. I really want the #CovidVaccine but will get it when it's fairly my turn. Equity matters. Fairness matters. Those who need it most should get it first.

A6 After the pandemic, a community-based workforce will help cities and states in the long-term by providing a model that boosts social cohesion and social capital, empowering the existing workforce in historically marginalized communities. #SaludTues

Yes, this is why some countries in sub-Saharan Africa hard-hit by past disease outbreaks are showing the way in combating COVID-19! It starts at the ground level.

A2 If not hiring impacted people from your own community, you’re not supporting the unemployed people who have been hit by the economic impact of COVID-19.

This will widen the gap between wealthy and poor communities. #SaludTues

A2: If response and recovery efforts to #COVID19 are not embedded in the communities facing #HealthInequities , there is a significant risk of missing those most in need of assistance that leads (and has led) to increased sickness and death. #SaludTues

These Principles are where passion for this community-based work meets wider-scale implementation.
