The Tragedy of Stanley Crouch - CounterPunch.org
I had some enjoyable encounters with Stanley Crouch. He was smart and witty. His humor dark and droll. But there was something wrong with Stanley in the head. Something that his groupies in their eulogies ignore. These were white groupies whose...

The badass Dr. @malia_ailam has a children's book on COVID-19 coming out soon. In addition to discussing snot and nosepicking, she delivers a good dose of lessons in empathy and kindness. I can't wait to order my copy!

UW Health, SMPH Remove Race from Kidney Function Estimation Formula and Offer Alternative

I am so proud of @uwsmph for doing the right thing and removing race from estimates of the glomerular filtration rate. Racial stereotyping has no place in evidence-based medicine.

Maya Moore’s Marriage to the Man She Helped Exonerate Is a Great Story in an Awful Year
Too often, the work against injustice is abstract and without reward. This story is a heartwarming outlier.

I guess it's official official now. I am honored to help chair this group and turn evidence into action. I do feel compelled to mention that I am not an ob-gyn, but an economist and population health scientist with an appointment in obstetrics. 😁

Grateful to my brilliant co-author, @TheOpEdProject, UW's communications team and Scientific American for helping us get this message out. From a policy perspective it's critical to focus on interventions that work and that have an evidence-base.

North Carolina previously set aside $10 million in reparations for victims of the state’s eugenics program, which ended in the 1970s.

When I talk about how institutions have EARNED the mistrust of Black women when it comes to reproductive health, this is what I mean. Tuskegee was just the tip of the iceberg (and few discuss its impact on wives and children, the focus is on men alone).

Postpartum depression in women of color: ‘More work needs to be done’
Professor Tiffany Green helps us examine the risk factors that may explain why postpartum depression tends to affect women of color more than white women.

Racial/ethnic disparities in postpartum depression outcomes are pervasive but often don't receive the same attention as disparities in maternal mortality. Thanks again to Ana Sandoiu at @mnt, who is committed to getting the word out about these issues.

"Thinking about where you can sort of flourish is the kind of question that most Black people never get to ask ourselves, and I finally had the freedom to ask it of myself." [email protected]

@SandyDarity @TrevonDLogan and @JohnMullahy (and fellow RWJF scholars) and of course my coauthor Tod Hamilton for their encouragement in pushing these ideas forward. I'm kinda feeling like I want to revisit this, given where we are right now. bit.ly/2B7n1NT (5/5)

A thread written by @Tiffany_L_Green
Thank you for writing this @itsafronomics, though you shouldn't have had to. I keep seeing some wringing of hands of non-black economists on what they can do, as if we don't get paid to ask questions for a living (and comment on things whether...

Make a committment to mentoring black graduate students in the field. Publish with them, teach them the rules of the game, make phone calls for them, and most, important, shield them from the racism in your departments that makes their lives miserable.
