"The placenta is a control center for fetal development." Yet, despite affecting 1 in 3 pregnancies, placental disorders remain under-researched. Scientists like Geetu Tuteja are uncovering its links to lifelong health risks—and how a simple blood test could detect complications earlier. She explores this possibility and more on "After the Fact." Listen now. ?? ?? https://lnkd.in/gVaxdUCx

To better understand how to expand broadband networks, Pew interviewed policymakers, utility pole owners, internet service providers, and others to learn about the challenges they’re facing. One key theme: The process of attaching new cables to utility poles is one of the primary concerns threatening such projects. Navigating complicated permitting and approval processes can be costly and timely. One key solution: Increasing capacity to speed up permitting. Some states—including Alabama, California, and Maine—are running technical assistance programs to help local communities navigate the entire process. Others—such as Kentucky—are setting emergency rules to standardize faster response times to permit requests for new cable to be attached to utility poles. We’ve put together a guide for state legislators to troubleshoot the permitting processes behind broadband network expansion projects. Link in comments ??

If demography is destiny, then the financial destiny of states could be in trouble. Why? Historically low birth rates, shifting migration patterns, and an aging population are all contributing to slow population growth—a demographic trend that will mean less tax revenue for states. Our Joanna Biernacka-Lievestro, PhD and Alexandre Fall break down the stats and what they mean.

The gender gap in pay has slightly narrowed in the United States over the past 20 years or so. In 2024, women earned an average of 85% of what men earned, according to a Pew Research Center analysis of median hourly earnings of both full- and part-time workers. https://pewrsr.ch/3XxZJI2

Methadone saves lives, but only if patients can get it. That's the message from my Pew colleague Frances McGaffey in her new op-ed for Governing, which is all about how states can curb their addiction crises through making treatment more flexible and accessible. Even after COVID-era evidence showed such reforms are feasible and safe, too many states and clinics require patients to jump through hoops to get the care they need. Let's change that! https://lnkd.in/escUK_iT

Hawai?i Governor Josh Green shares how his experiences as a doctor and elected official help him address the interconnectedness between housing, public health, and climate resilience. After growing up and going to medical school in Pennsylvania, Governor Green went to Hawai?i, where years in a Big Island emergency room revealed to him how many health issues had social roots, whether they be from people lacking access to housing, behavioral health care, or other critical services. https://pew.org/4ijVRlV

We need better policies in debt collection lawsuits around the country. But these policies need to be paired with a court system that actually implements them. The courts should be playing a vital role in improving participation in these cases and making sure that only valid cases reach a judgment, but too often they are not. A Debt Lab study in Connecticut looked at 88 debt collection cases to see if they had the required documentation to receive a judgment, and according to their research, none of those cases met the requirements. Policies like requiring documentation of the debt are good and every state should have these requirements, but if the courts are not looking at these cases, it won't have the right impact.
