Twitter punted. I'm not sure that people have the time or energy to check the veracity of every tweet they read. I certainly don't. What does this policy accomplish?

The International Federation of Gynecology and #Obstetrics ( #FIGO ) is represented at Women Deliver 2019, and they join the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) the World Health Organization , the International Conference of #Midwives ( #ICM ) and other leading organizations in calling for midwives to be fully integrated into the health system to ensure high quality maternal and newborn care. #globalhealth #UNFPA #WHO #ICM #maternalhealth #newbornhealth #womenshealth #reproductivehealth #reproductivejustice #midwifery #midwivessavelives pic.twitter.com/Qownw4BAcR …see more

I listen to the news. I read the newspapers. I view social media. I cannot believe that I have a book emerging on June 19, 2020 on trauma and its impact on students of all ages and stages. Trauma abounds -- it pre-dated the pandemic and since then has escalated. The book launch is virtual. Followers and connections: please join me. There is a panel discussion on the book's import and applicability. There are some giveaways. It is, sadly, a book for our time and its real time strategies can help teachers, healthcare professionals, counselors, social workers, community organizations and employers. Hope to "see" you there. We need help dealing with trauma and its symptoms -- which are abundant. Details below. Save the date: June 22 at 5:00 pm EST.... …see more

Baidu's XiaoduPods let you search the web, make calls, hear music and… get instant, real-time Chinese/English translation with processing done both locally and in the cloud. In other words, Baidu is listening, which means that the Chinese government is listening.

So thrilled for Tonya Mosley , one of the #DetroitDivas who is now a bright star in the journalism pantheon, and who I knew way back when. She's started her newest gig as the co-host of NPR and WBUR's Here & Now , and I just listened to her interview with Casey Gerald , co-founder and CEO of MBAs Across America . His musings on how #AfricanAmericans have mastered the "concept of inner freedom" was must-hear radio. #NPR #TonyaMosley #WBUR #HereAndNow …see more

Here’s a great example of why I’m so excited about joining the Global Press Journal team. I’ll be working with journalists like Raihana Maqbool , who is covering the ongoing tensions for people in the Indian-administered #Jammu and #Kashmir state. The government has revoked the state’s semi-autonomous status and instituted a media blackout. Raihana had to fly to #Delhi to download her reporting about the impact of the government’s actions, and to work with GPJ editors. I’ll be honored to support brave, hard-working women journalists like her. #GPI #GPJ #GlobalPressJournal #GlobalPressInstitute #journalism #Internationalreporting …see more

Think about this... It’s the end of a decade and the start of the holidays. The kids may have no clue about channel surfing, but they know the car of the future... is a truck? Your holiday gifts won’t buy themselves, so what can you buy that won’t totally suck? (That rhymed.)

Communication Overload: Our research shows most workers can’t go 6 minutes without checking email or IM

James Clear shares a powerful tool for making tough choices without flaming out. Check out the entire conversation at http://amex.co/2hUHl8O . Sponsored by @American Express OPEN.

This article is precisely why colleges that are reopening (in whatever form) need to become trauma responsive. This is the subject of Trauma Doesn't Stop at the School Door, due out from Columbia Teachers College Press June 19, 2020. And it has strategies for how to help students.

I understand both the desire and the need for our government to get a handle on the issues surrounding data privacy, but think about this… let’s say that the outcome is a broken-up Google and Facebook. And let’s say that this makes way for 50 more companies that use data the way Google and Facebook use it today. Then what? The problem is not how data is being collected. The problem is not collecting data. The problem is how it is used. Specifically, the problem is badly-written laws that prohibit certain kinds of information collection (sex, race, PHI, and other sensitive personal data). Why? Because it forces data scientists to create proxies for these attributes. Algorithms that use proxies (which are assumptions) with substandard or nonexistent feedback loops (to help the AI truly learn from its mistakes) doom the data-driven decision making process to one of the nine circles of hell (though I’m not sure which one). Breaking up data-rich organizations will simply make more versions of the same data-rich organizations. Allowing more small companies to do what the big companies are doing will not change the impact bad data science is already having on our society (a problem not trending in a good direction). …see more
