"The root cause of US women’s poor health is non-medical. It is systemic inequity: everything from unfair structures & practices that benefit the advantaged, to #genderbias in science." America is failing #womenshealth

As expected, report confirms striking inequalities. One key take-away: "women of color are virtually non-existent among top-earners" across all institutions. Intro is a Call to Action.

Read @TimothyWSchwab's article on IHME & global health estimates, with several demographers sharing concerns & frustration #poptwitter
In the early days of the Covid-19 pandemic, the IHME projected a far less severe outbreak than other models, which drew the attention of Donald Trump, who was eager to downplay the danger.

New evidence on COVID-exacerbated inequality from Brown colleague @John_N_Friedman. Dramatic online learning gaps in math starting in March.
Here is the chart @DanaGoldstein references showing the vast gaps in online math learning that have emerged by income following the school closures in March. Heartbreaking to see how quickly these gaps have emerged; their effects will last for a lifetime.
