The spectacular growth of protected bike lanes in New York is more awe inducing than any interstate expansion. It only looks inevitable in retrospect. We need to grow these tendrils of street life to fill the city map.

Rebranding Twitter to X is one thing…
….Rolling it out with a single tweet with zero context is another.
Missed opportunity to bring everyone on board of the bigger mission and hope for the platform.
Change management 101: in the absence of information, people will make up their own.
It’s been a year since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. Since then, 14 states have banned most abortions, leaving millions of women and girls with nowhere to turn for the care they need.
And yet, there are reasons to hope.
After Roe v. Wade was overturned, voters in Michigan, California, and Vermont helped enshrine abortion rights in their state constitutions. And governors in states like Nevada, Hawaii, and Pennsylvania have signed executive orders to protect abortion access.
We're proud to see our portco @mavenclinic recognized as a #Disruptor50 by @CNBC, which highlights private companies chasing some of the market's biggest opportunities.
"The existential issue for the healthcare system right now is trustworthiness. It's not the job of the people that we're serving to be more trusting of us. It's the job of the people in this room to be held accountable, to be trustworthy." —@neel_shah@bstormhealth#FortuneHealth
Lack of clinical research, lack of provider training, medical gaslighting, and a total lack of compassion —
The "high cultural tolerance for women’s suffering" needs to come to an end.
Such important journalism @susandominus — thank you.

‘It is long past time to move on to the far more interesting question … how we can make room for care and wellbeing alongside competition and ambition’ Excellent from @SlaughterAM @FT
Women control 80% of all healthcare decisions, comprise the majority of healthcare workers, yet only 8% of VCs are women and just 2% of capital goes to female founders.
This has to change.
Social determinants of health affect 40% of health outcomes, but they are rarely addressed in routine prenatal care. Maven's clinical research team conducted a study to better understand social needs during pregnancy—see their findings in @AJOG_thegray: https://t.co/GtXmdZWLYL
Egg freezing tl;dr:
- It isn’t a guarantee of a baby later; realistic expectations are everything
- Eggs have to survive unfreezing, becoming early stage embryos, & implant
- Process is 💰 & grueling 💉
- Not all women use their frozen eggs

CMOs are among the least likely of any other role in the C-suite to become CEOs. A mistake, in my opinion, particularly as the CEO's role has become more & more oriented to effective communication & people management (see: https://t.co/dkUzHPRBxe)
