Map of the U.S. titled “ProPublica’s ‘50 States Initiative’ Eligibility.” The 40 states in blue are eligible to submit a project for ProPublica’s Local Reporting Network. The ten states in the cross-hatched pattern—Oregon, Idaho, Utah, Alaska, Tennessee, Georgia, New York, Connecticut, Maine and North Dakota—have already been selected and are not eligible.

📢 ProPublica is looking for 5 newsrooms to join our Local Reporting Network!

These newsrooms will be part of our 50 State Initiative. Newsrooms in 40 states (in blue) are eligible to apply: https://propub.li/41270AQ

list of banned keywords

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

Hi Bluesky!👋 We’re a research program at UCSF that studies reproductive health, rights, and access.

We work hard to uncover the data so that policies can be research-driven.

Follow us here so we can keep you updated on our latest research.

So You’ve Had a Hysterectomy. Do You Know What Was Removed? (Gift Article) Patients often are in the dark about which organs remain and which were removed — particularly the ovaries, which profoundly influence lifelong health.

I was briefly quoted in this @nytimes.com article about one of my passions:

Gynecologic health care!

I spend basically all my work time trying to understand and improve care for heavy uterine bleeding, fibroids, etc. There’s a lot of work to do.

To improve pandemic preparedness for #MCH & #nutrition, we can use vital statistics data to evaluate state efforts + outcomes during COVID.
@mariethoma.bsky.social found that states w/ EBT for WIC (Women, Infants and Children) mitigated declines in enrollment over states w/ paper-based systems.
