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

For the last 17 years I’ve been doing everything I can to fix health care for as many people as possible. It’s time for me to launch a new company and a new chapter with Lucky Sage.

Insightful presentation by @rayychan at @CancerCareMASCC on tailoring cancer care guidelines for resource limited settings. Supportive care should be considered essential (e.g., basic and core)

Enjoying @CancerCareMASCC in Lille France after a difficult month. This morning at breakfast, a hotel staff handed me a take-way bag with a croissant after noticing that I had not picked up my daily treat. It’s the thoughtful gestures in life that make all the difference.

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.
