Interesting interview with HBR's editor-in-chief here by @MarkMillerLA on how the publication has grown up to become more reader-centered and maintained a culture of experimentation while making strategic choices to focus its development.

How can food leaders work to dismantle the systemic inequity in our industry and in the communities we operate? @vbarad explores three paths where design can drive efforts towards solutions—and the first has nothing to do with food. https://t.co/Glxeg4R1aQ

So much is changing so fast, I wanted to help by putting a piece out there on four ways that businesses could navigate these ambiguous times. More in link below...cc: @alicekogan

@mialoira I’m sorry Mia. I have so much confidence you will come out of all of this is a brighter place before too long. This also makes me wonder how many types of lawyers there are.

Proud of @ideo friends @Eat_REAL_Cert who are giving reusable masks to food service workers so they can safely provide meals to students & families! In an effort to #slowthespread of COVID-19, we helped them produce a short safety video: https://t.co/62Km5WyLAU

What started as a real-time prototype by a few @ideo designers to solve an immediate need for frontline healthcare workers is becoming a scalable solution. You can help flatten the curve and save lives by donating to Shield our Heroes https://t.co/vKP6fkNuL9

I work with masterful designers @ideo but it’s not every day we get #naotofukasawa in the house! 2 themes shared by a master on design process: 1) process should not make the result complicated; 2) its not about having the idea, but making that idea a reality. Thanks @tceb62

An example of how an opt-out strategy can create behavior change and improve health outcomes. UCSF banned sales of sugary drinks in attempt to lower consumption and it worked! Staff reduced their intake by 50%, and lost an average of 2cm from their waistlines in 10 months.

[Robert Lustig MD @RobertLustigMD]

"...solidifies the evidence that the positive health impact of sugar reduction is independent of body weight, but that removing the sale of sugary drinks from the working environment is a key solution to combating diet-related disease amongst staff." https://t.co/mmHBE8eFY6
