In case everything you have heard about GPT-4 was not scary enough, contemplate what happens if GPT-4 goes trolling through your private health records. @docgurley explores the possibilities: bit.ly/3noyTU6.

You can write a story on "10 things my community is not doing right on domestic violence," says @JoanneKenen at our Symposium on Domestic Violence. "They are really doing a lot of things wrong. One reason is they are not thinking of it as a health problem."

"We give a lot of credence to heart attacks or diabetes. (We say), “this is an emergency! We cannot give that same respect to domestic violence even though it is killing our patients." Dr. Anita Ravi at our symposium on domestic violence. @ReportingHealth bit.ly/3lnvtQs

In California, more than half of families have been touched by domestic violence, according to a 2017 study. Yet it is often treated as a criminal or private matter rather than a public health epidemic. Journalism can play a role in bringing about change and greater awareness.
