Massachusetts Institute of Technology economist, Pierre Azoulay, has demonstrated the benefits of funding people over projects. For example, researchers backed by the private Howard Hughes Medical Institute, which takes such an approach, produce far more widely cited papers—a metric of significance—than projects funded by the US government’s National Institutes of Health.
Patrick Collison, the Irish born co-founder of payments technology company, Stripe Inc., has spent the past five years pondering the problem of declining scientific productivity. A popular theory Collison rejects: the most ..read more

I was raised in the Midwest where folks make pie crust with lard. My mother kept a canister of lard off the kitchen my whole childhood. We used lard in cooking and baking. We re-used lard. I refuse to acknowledge the full details of lard use in my formative years. I lived to tell the tale. When my then boyfriend/now husband discovered the lard canister on his first visit to my childhood home and asked me what it was I thought, “Oh great, this is how it all ends.”
My mother did not actually teach me to cook, however. I learned, if anything, in spite of mom who proclaims herself to be a terrib ..read more

On January 17th, 2017, with trembling fingers and a racing mind, I shared my first ever instagram post.
Little did I know this would be the beginning of my advocacy.
At the time, I thought I was simply posting for my youngest sister. You see, she hasn’t been tested for the BRCA 1 variant yet and while I pray she tests negative one day, if she does end up being positive, I wanted to make sure she had empowering photos to look at and a realistic look into what recovery looked like if she too decides to have a preventative mastectomy. Everything I shared, I shared for her.
I didn’t expect for o ..read more

Summary
Cancer educational materials disseminate complex conceptual health information in print-heavy formats and can be difficult to understand especially when the most recent National Assessment of Adult Literacy (NAAL) survey reported that 88% of adults are limited by their health literacy skills. As a result, young women with breast cancer may be limited in their understanding of cancer educational material. Specifically, young AA women with breast cancer may be at even greater risk for their understanding of cancer educa ..read more
