Cognitive Biases in Decision Making: Understanding Your Own Brain

In the ever-evolving field of human psychology, more and more is becoming understood about the cognitive biases that affect our decision-making processes. Cognitive biases are essentially computing errors that influence the way we make decisions about the world around us, and ultimately lead us to flawed conclusions.  Everyone has been wrong at least once or […]

Side Effects of Sexism: How to Advocate for Yourself in a Healthcare System that Ignores Women

In her recent book, Invisible Women, Caroline Criado Perez exposes some of the astonishingly absurd ways that women have been left out in a world designed by and for cismen. One of the most startling revelations from the book is the many ways in which sexism is very literally killing women and anybody assigned female […]

The Struggle for Reproductive Rights in the U.S.

Reproductive rights have always been a contentious topic in the United States. With the supreme court confirmations of Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney-Barrett, the future of reproductive rights in this country became endangered. These new judges have caused a shift from a minor 5-4 to a significant 6-3 conservative majority, thus solidifying the Court’s […]

Supervised Injection Sites (SIS) and the Opioid Epidemic

On nearly every line, green-colored signs embellish New York City train cars, each urging the public to “Save a life. Carry naloxone.” Other signs offer well-intentioned advice, such as “Avoid using alone!” and “The best way to prevent an overdose is to not use drugs”.  Each of these public service announcements is aimed towards combating […]

Your Ballot May Have Saved the Affordable Care Act but Failed To Vote for Healthcare Policy

Months before the 2020 election, public outcries to vote for healthcare ran rampant across social media outlets. Here’s the catch: we did vote for healthcare but we also didn’t. If you were among those who voted take a minute to ask yourself this: how much did a candidate’s position on healthcare policy weigh into where […]

After COVID-19 | How Can We Reduce Disease Burden?

A small but growing number of COVID patients are trapped in limbo.  They’ve been released from the hospital, they’ve tested negative, they’ve gone back to work – but they still can’t breathe. The smallest tasks exhaust them, their heads and joints ache, and there’s no medical diagnosis that seems to explain it. Welcome to the hell that […]

Beyond Black Lives Matter: The Impact of Social Movements

Progress happens through novel discourses. Black Lives Matter has revealed an age of moral awakening where the ‘woke’ generations have assumed avenues to bring about change. Social movements take center stage when it comes to mass social action through the collective opinions of communities. However, beyond the enormous contributions of the Black Lives Matter movement […]

Survivors of Gender-Based Violence and the U.S. Policy That Refuses Them

The word “alien” typically conjures up images of glowing, green creatures in otherworldly spaceships. Maybe even Steven Spielberg’s E.T. What seldom comes to mind are images of women fleeing violence, rape, and gang threats, in hopes of a safer life across the border.   However, this was who former United States Attorney General Jeff Sessions was […]

Addressing Youth Mental Health at School

Addiction. Anxiety. Bullying. Depression. Eating disorder. Marginalization. Self-harm. Suicide. Trauma. Violence. Lives as teenagers are not always youthful nor blithe, and oftentimes life challenges are entangled with emotions and mental health.  Youths’ cryptic codes of expression of these emotions, as well as the medium, have changed with the advance of technology. On social media platforms […]

Is Telehealth the Future of China’s Healthcare?

Li’s Situation Li was a 61-year-old patient I met while volunteering in a major urban hospital in Nanchang, China. Over a day, Li and his wife waited 4 hours between two 5-minute examinations. They had also started their day from the rural area where they live at 5 am to make the 3-hour trip to […]

Here’s Why ERs Need to be Immigrant-Friendly

“May I borrow you for a second? The patient over there speaks Mandarin,” the emergency room doctor kindly asked me. I would always encounter a couple of Chinese immigrants when volunteering at the Emergency Department at Bellevue Hospital in New York City before coronavirus swept the whole city. Most of the immigrant patients at the […]

Your “Model Minority” is Dying

“Chinese are destroying Bay Ridge.” Flyers with this title were found distributed across Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, in June 2020. The flyers went on to describe some of the “crimes” that Chinese in Bay Ridge have “committed”: “junk stores: massage parlors (prostitution), nail salons, 99 cent stores, dirty Chinese restaurants; trashed up streets, bottle collecting, scavenging; coronavirus […]

Politics & Biology | Is Free Will a Lie?

We tend to give a lot of credit to our decision-making abilities, especially in politics. We like to think that whichever political candidate we are voting for, or whichever political party we are endorsing, we came to that decision all on our own. What if I tell you that this might not be true at […]
