Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin The impact of last year’s United States Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe vs. Wade continues to ripple across society. Advocates warn that the decision will disproportionately affect young people who may not have the means to travel the many miles they may need to for a legal abortion. Now, a new survey of 400 young adults quantifies the influence the Supreme Court’s decision may be having on Hispanic GenZers. The survey was conducted by Chispa , a dating app for U.S.-based Latinos, in partnership with the Center for Multicultural Science , a nonprofit, non-partisan think tank focused on multicultural marketing research. Respondents were drawn from a nationally representative sample of Hispanic college students aged 18 to 24. The survey found that nearly one-third (29%) of young people surveyed reported having less casual sex because of the Supreme Court’s decision and 23% said they’ve changed their … [Read more...] about New Survey Shows Nearly 1/4 Of Young Hispanic Women May Change Birth Control Due To Abortion Restrictions

Curtain raiser | Sundance 2023: Screen time for India’s fears and frustrations
Indians showcase at Sundance Film Festival 2023. (Photos courtesy of Sundance Institute) If India's forthcoming run at Sundance 2023 had a theme, it would probably be the wilderness. Elephants, fish, white ants, and nocturnal beasts mark the stories featuring the country that will make their debut at the Utah-based film festival. Sundance platforms independent dramatic features and documentaries and brings some of the first international film showings of the calendar year. Titles that premiere there contend with the most troubling questions of the present moment. Indian filmmakers have regularly taken their work to the festival, particularly after the Sundance Institute began organising screenwriters and directors’ labs in the region. Such interactions have helped produce films including Margarita with a Straw (2014), Lunchbox (2015), and Fire in the Mountains (2021). Of documentary, episodes, and shorts Sundance Film Festival is biggest film festival to start … [Read more...] about Curtain raiser | Sundance 2023: Screen time for India’s fears and frustrations

TBD Health Raises $4.4 Million In Seed Funding To Democratize Access To Inclusive Sexual Care
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Stigma is one of the most under-addressed social determinants of health that can seriously impact the way that patients think about prioritizing their health needs and their care-seeking behavior. As a society, sexual practices are constantly evolving and so should our sexual healthcare with it. By not talking about it or making it shameful to talk about sex, and due to the pervasive lack of adequate sex education, we create a climate where people are under-informed or misinformed about their sexual health and what resources are available to them. While there are certainly fantastic providers specially trained in sexual health, there are many more that are uncomfortable talking to their patients about sex. A recent study has shown that although “sexual health is generally considered an integral part of medical and allied healthcare professional training, many medical schools do not offer this as a mandatory curriculum, or … [Read more...] about TBD Health Raises $4.4 Million In Seed Funding To Democratize Access To Inclusive Sexual Care
Pharma Companies: A Conglomerate Of Monopolies
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Virtual monopolies exist in almost every healthcare sector: from hospitals and health systems to medical groups and single specialties backed by private equity. With so much consolidation of power and influence, U.S. healthcare has become a conglomerate of monopolies ; the subject of this continuing series. When it comes to claiming market control, pharmaceutical companies stand apart from healthcare’s other monopolies. Whereas hospitals and health systems rely primarily on mergers and acquisitions, drug companies employ a slew of powerful tactics: from legislative protections and legal loopholes to stonewalling would-be competitors and more. But there is one thing that unites all healthcare monopolies: As their powers expand, they become complacent. And when that happens, innovation dies and Americans pay the price, both with their wallets and their health. Exorbitant vs. unfair pricing The rising … [Read more...] about Pharma Companies: A Conglomerate Of Monopolies
Why The Maldives Must Be Number One On Your Bucket List
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Most people are clueless about the location of the Maldives (they’re below India and Sri Lanka in the middle of the Indian Ocean), but everyone knows they are a posh honeymoon/vacation spot where guests choose overwater bungalows or luxurious beach villas. Some just want to laze in the sun which shines more than 2,700 hours a year, while others go for the gourmet food, blissful spa treatments or water activities, enough to challenge even the most die-hard thalassophile (someone who loves the sea). The bad news is that the Maldives, one of the lowest countries in the world, are only three feet above sea level and greatly threatened by sea level rise, coastal storm surges, and associated flooding. Scientists say that given scenarios for global warming emissions, by the year 2100, the Maldives will experience a 1’5-foot sea level rise and lose 77 percent of the land area. This means that eventually the Maldives will fall into … [Read more...] about Why The Maldives Must Be Number One On Your Bucket List

How just a 5-minute mentorship session can advance your career
We entered January with all sorts of promises and resolutions—and the enthusiasm of a thousand Labrador puppies. But alas, reality has already set in. Our calendars have filled up, and our eyes are still glazing over from staring at our screens for eight hours straight. So, how can we possibly find the time to think about and advance our careers, let alone help others, when the daily hustle-bustle of life gets in the way. Where, exactly, are we headed in this journey? And who can help us get there? The right mentor or mentors can be key to making our life roadmap more legible. Finding someone who can guide you for the long haul is not always realistic. So, instead of taking an “I’ll join a gym this year” approach to a mentorship, where things start off great but fizzle out by March, it’s time to lower the barriers while increasing the results with something new. As National Mentoring Month draws to a close today, I give you the micro-mentorship. It’s not a term or an idea … [Read more...] about How just a 5-minute mentorship session can advance your career
