This is very concerning.
International data show a concerning increase in regressive attitudes towards women leaders, especially among young men. Trust in women’s leadership is declining when it is most needed for health, write @jocalynclark @feminineupheave .

Great panel at @CancerCareMASCC on addressing digital divide in low and middle income countries. @EnriqueSoto8 reports older adults are often excluded from digital health trials. Shows effective use of smart-phone app and wearables in older adult pop in Mexico.
