As I sat waiting for my annual mammogram, I found myself wondering -“Why hasn’t a woman redesigned the mammogram machine? As my technician put it today, “I’m sorry this is painful. But I’m sure you know the machine was designed by a man.”

On International Women’s Day I led a news writing seminar for the Intercollegiate Broadcast System or IBSNY 2025. It was awesome to talk to students about their concerns about news content and how trends are pushing them to write shorter when many of them want to go in depth on issues. #IBS2025 #BIN
