When it comes to #mentalhealth crisis care, "The emergency room is like a sandwich without any bread." My latest for @statnews explains the struggles of patients and providers in emergency rooms and explores new models to make crisis care better. https://t.co/Sx9of1NUxE

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 @GlobeIdeas

[Boston Globe Ideas @GlobeIdeas]

The ovaroid, unveiled earlier this year, could enable women who have lost their fertility to age or illness to conceive with their own eggs — and to do so with far less suffering than IVF currently exacts, writes @GraceRubie. https://t.co/4XYbQJHItT

[Boston Globe Ideas @GlobeIdeas]

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, @GraceRubie writes. https://t.co/CnFHfox1ru

Amid the orchards of California, loneliness lurks for especially vulnerable new mothers: #immigrants. My latest for @statnews on #postpartum #depression and the doctors trying to help. This is not happening just here, it's everywhere. https://t.co/CSmIf0J5U8

“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.”

My partner once met a WWII vet who told him: “Love is not the most powerful thing in the world. Duty is.” This is it, demonstrated. #Ukraine #Courage

“Historically in medicine for women there’s an accepting that some degree of suffering is just normal and there’s no effort to alleviate it.”
Medical research still heavily favors male bodies. @DaisyRobinton is working to change that.

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 @DaisyRobinton in @NEOdotLIFE https://t.co/BeJAu16cCX.

[Grace Rubenstein @GraceRubie]

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 @onnofaber. I describe his latest disruption in @NEOdotLIFE mag. https://t.co/7AXn56K5Su

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 https://t.co/tzRNUckg85

[Grace Rubenstein @GraceRubie]

Out now! This enlightening & entertaining first episode of WorkLife S4. I loved co-creating this with @AdamMGrant @TEDTalks and @transmitterpods. 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

[Families USA @FamiliesUSA]

A5.5 For more information on how local health departments can engage a community-based workforce, check out this playbook from the Community-Based Workforce Alliance: https://t.co/viCAZT8twN #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.

[Salud America! @SaludAmerica]

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

[PublicHealthMaps @PublicHealthMap]

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

[Grace Rubenstein @GraceRubie]

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

[HealthBegins @HealthBegins]

A2 That’s why we created 6 Community-Based Workforce Principles for Pandemic Response & Resilience. To stop COVID & advance equity, these show how to tap the local expertise, people power & frontline insights that communities possess. #SaludTues https://t.co/Sjmn2zvtSg
