Because they felt that air pollution isn't killing enough Americans, the Senate voted to overturn an EPA rule that limits toxic air pollutants emitted by industrial facilities, marking the first time Congress has weakened protections under the Clean Air Act.

If also passed by the House as expected, the action will be the first time Congress has weakened protections under the Clean Air Act.

Drawing on qual data from 3 studies, we examine the idea of ‘peer support’ in mainstream clinical care, and show how peer-based models of care bring about new roles and responsibilities for patients

🔸 Unpaid work limits women's careers
🔸 Gender gaps in time use narrowed in 1980s-2000s but have now stalled
🔸 Men still do little unpaid work & change is too slow

To close these gaps, we need paid parental leave, flexible work & cultural shifts.

#InternationalWomensDay
For #IWD2025, we spoke to Man-Yee Kan & Grace Chang about their research on gender inequality in time use 👩⌛️

The GenTime project tracks how men & women spend time ⏲️

The findings are clear - women still do far more unpaid work than men.
