Love this from Tony Kushner. What do you feel called to do?
"I like this from the astute Tony Kushner.

"At every moment in every person’s life there is work to be done, always work to be done, some of it small, some of it Great. The Great Work, in a sense, always has to do with healing the world, changing the world, and, as a necessary predicate to that, understanding the world. You rise every morning aware that you are called to this work. You won’t live to see it finished. But if you can’t hear it calling, you aren’t listening hard enough. It’s always calling, sometimes in a big voice, sometimes in a quiet voice."

--- Tony Kushner, b. 1956.

Doctors Without Borders do such difficult work in the world, and I am ever grateful for that.

Rokero, Sudan: We launched a measles vaccination campaign that reached thousands of children.

Doctors Without Borders teams traveled to remote villages on donkeys, in tuk-tuks and cars. The teams set up the clinics in whatever public space was available: schools, markets, and health facilities, ensuring accessibility for local communities. This is crucial in a region where rugged terrain and blocked roads often limit health care access.

Eye opening! We need universal health care. No doubt about it. Why doesn't the US have it when all the other countries have it?

Hmmm.

ADHD diagnoses are climbing among adult women. Experts say it’s likely not a wave of misdiagnoses—but a sign that medicine is finally catching up to reality.

The overwhelming majority of research on ADHD has been done in boys and men, but symptoms often present differently for girls and women, causing many to go untreated. Learn more about the gender gap in ADHD diagnoses and symptoms: https://on.natgeo.com/41FbT51
