The Woman Who Founded Industrial Medicine
Pathologist Alice Hamilton was among the first to focus attention on the dangers of lead, explosives and noxious chemicals in the workplace. few people know that American national safety standards were pioneered by a 19th century female scientist, a pathologist who disliked conflict but used her fastidious research to challenge U.S. manufacturers on the issues of lead, explosives, coal and noxious dyes.

The Women’s Health Pioneer You’ve Probably Never Heard Of
Very excited to welcome Women’s History month 2020 by posting my latest piece in Scientific American on a health pioneer (and author) you probably haven’t heard of… The 19th-century black “doctress” Rebecca Davis Lee Crumpler should be on everyone’s radar.

For all the fame and privileged backgrounds of London’s Bloomsbury Group, including such prominent members as E.M. Forster, Lytton Stratchey and Virginia’s sister Vanessa, a painter, the literary clan bragged one code above all others: “to speak the truth” a code that included emotional truth and invited the full commentary of its female participants. Though, Virginia sometimes criticized members of the Bloomsbury Group, during these all-nighters, she clearly appreciated the “relief of honesty” and the literary stimulant of really talking.
Talking to Our Daughters and Sons About Consent
Struggling to talk to your kids about sexual assault and consent? I did too. Here’s my story.
Like yoga practice, motherhood (fatherhood, too, for that matter) can be a continual opportunity for inner growth, a sometimes uncomfortable realm to discover your emotional demons and physical boundaries, and a sanctuary for self-acceptance and the most profound sensations of love and gratitude.
It’s not every documentary that compels me to stay up writing most of the night and that weighs heavily on my mind for days. But then again Who Does She Think She Is? is not your average documentary. Directed by Pamela Tanner Boll, mother of three, writer and documentarian, the film looks at the under-representation of mothers in the arts and other creative fields.

That would have required an all-but-impossible thirteen-plus-hour flight from New York City to the old city of Damascus, the once-enchanted jasmine-scented city where Muna—a writer, teacher, poet, and mother—died after open-heart surgery in April 2016. Although the valve replacement operation she had was declared a success, Muna only survived twelve days after the operation.

Masculinity for Sale – originally a Wild Finance blog post on the Wild River Review website.
Which leads me to the two things I found startling as I watched the 2000 documentary Tough Guise a documentary by Jackson Katz (which I saw as part of a Media Education Series hosted by the Institute for Empowerment headquartered in New Jersey). One, how relevant the film still is- how many years and how many repeat episodes after the Columbine shooting in the United States-and the disturbing nature of mass-produced notions of masculinity (based on violence and a tough exterior) that can hurt us all-boys and girls, men and women, mothers and fathers, cousins and friends, alike.
