By Tina L. Cheng and Alison M. Conca-Cheng, Pediatrics, August 31, 2020 COVID-19 is a recent crisis. Racism is an enduring crisis which is inflamed in the presence of other crises. The Chinese word for "crisis” is composed of two characters, one signifying "danger" and the other, "opportunity." The pandemics of COVID-19 and racism present clear danger. Our duty is to make sense of the opportunity by learning, understanding, and taking action. In this issue of Pediatrics, Cheah et al.1...

Jennifer A Walsh ·
First-year medical student Sean Sweat "didn't want to tiptoe around" issues of race when she sat down with 11 of her classmates to write a new version of the medical profession's venerable Hippocratic oath.

Re: To solve the Black maternal mortality crisis, start with upending racist practices

Teresa Conboy ·
Thank you for the informative blog on Black maternal mortality. I am an advocate for individuals with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD). In a recent conversation with an ACEs researcher, I mentioned the strong association between prenatal alcohol exposure and childhood trauma and, in fact, suggested that FASD be considered ACEs. This suggestion is currently under consideration by her and other ACEs experts. And to the point of Black maternal health and FASD, based on the words of the...

Jeoff Gordon sees PACEs science, PACEs Connection playing a vital role in ‘relieving some of the most anguishing pain in our society.’

Carey Sipp ·
Note: PACEs Connection is in dire financial straits. We are asking for support, from you, our 57,586 members, to help cover the loss of foundation funding that was promised and did not come through. Pay and hours have been cut for our staff—most of us will be laid off for the month of December. Another grant will pick up in January, but we will still be underfunded. Since sounding the alarm this summer, we’ve raised about $26,000 . Thankfully, about 25% of new donors are making monthly...
