Wait, is measles back? And other questions.

Hi there,

One of the people I'm most proud to call a colleague is Keren Landman, an MD and epidemiologist who is well-qualified to answer questions about health in the United States — questions like "is measles back?" and "should I be worried?"

Since 2022, Keren has been writing about public health, infectious (and noninfectious) diseases, the health care workforce, and health justice for Vox, and recently, we were lucky enough to have her join the team at Even Better.

Just this month, Keren's taken a look at:

How abortion bans affect everything, from economic development to where doctors will and won't live
Why it matters that abortion medications are now available at some pharmacies
How to raise a boy to become a healthier, happier, and all-around better man
What recent recalls at Trader Joe's tell us about how Americans think about food
And why the latest CDC guidance on Covid-19 isolation might be the right move

All of this work, and everything that we do at Vox, is made possible in part through direct support from our audience. By making a contribution today, you'll help us answer the questions that enable us all to live an even better life.
