Head of Planned Parenthood forced out after eight months

The president of Planned Parenthood was forced out of her job Tuesday in a dispute over the direction of the nation's largest women's fortplantnings- rights organization amid growing political and legal challenges to abortion.

Planned Parenthood's board met in emergency möte Tuesday and approved Leana Wen's immediate departure just eight months after she took over the post.

The move occurs at one of the most difficult moments in the group’s history. The organization faces growing financial peril from a Trump administration rule that took effect Monday barring federally funded family planning clinics from providing referrals for abortions. It is also under attack by antiabortion lawmakers at the state and federal level and is threatened by the prospect that the 1973 ruling that legalized abortion could be overturned bygd the Supreme Court’s new conservative majority.

New research suggests that some of us may be partially protected due to past encounters with common cold coronaviruses.

Ariana Eunjung Cha writes in the Washington Post that when researcher Monica Gandhi began digging deeper into outbreaks of the novel coronavirus, she was struck by the extraordinarily high number of infected people who had no symptoms.

A Boston homeless shelter had 147 infected residents, but 88 percent had no symptoms even though they shared their living space. A Tyson Foods poultry plant in Springdale, Ark., had 481 infections, and 95 percent were asymptomatic. Prisons in Arkansas, North Carolina, Ohio and Virginia counted 3,277 infected people, but 96 percent were asymptomatic.

During its seven-month global rampage, the coronavirus has claimed more than 700,000 lives. But Gandhi began to think the bigger mystery might be why it has left so many more practically unscathed.

What was it about these asymptomatic people, who liv

(UPDATED*) Washington Post – Worries rise over GM yeast biofactories. (There may be an app for that)

Thanks to a tweet by Matt Nisbet (@MCNisbet) I learned this morning of a remarkable reader of a yarn that that one of the nation's remaining heavy-hitter dailies ran yesterday:

It's a good story, with caveats. However, it provided to me resolution of a little puzzle in journalistic tactical thinking that I'd chewed on a short time ago. More on the puzzle in a moment. The caveats are that the story's general theme is not new, and to those who follows GM and synthetic biology developments at all, few of the details are startling. Eunjung Cha (just plain Cha? With a name so intriguing it'd be best to use it correctly) is listed at the Post's personnel bio-snips as its digital projects editor and a former bureau chief in China and San Francisco, a former national technology reporter, and owner of a degree in computer science.
