Aarav Chavda has been diving off the coast of Florida
for years. Each time he became increasingly depressed by
the ever-growing empty spaces, as colourful species of fish
and coral reefs continued to disappear. A significant reason
for that disappearance is the lionfish, an invasive species that
has boomed in Atlantic waters from Florida to the Caribbean
in recent decades, and in numerous other places from Brazil
and Mexico to the Mediterranean.
Lionfish have no natural predators outside their native
range — in the Indian and Pacific Oceans and the Red Sea —
and are all-consuming, devouring an estimated 79% of young
marine life within five weeks of entering a coral reef system.
“You can see the impacts on the reefs when you dive now
— it’s less vibrant, it’s less noisy,” Chavda said. “We know
there are solutions for some of the problems — such as coral-
-friendly sunscreens to help protect the reefs — but nobody’s
been able to do anything about the lionfish.”
So Chavda and a team of ecologically aware fellow
scuba enthusiasts decided to act by establishing a company
called Inversa, which turns lionfish into a new product: fish
leather. Chavda, 27, and his childhood friend from Texas,
Roland Salatino, set up the Florida-based company to make
the leather. They process the fish hides1
by tanning them
with drying agents and dye them before selling the leather to
partner companies to fashion into high-end products including
wallets, belts and handbags. Fish skin is thin but, because
the fibre structure runs crossways, it is stronger than many
other types of leather. Each hide, Chavda says, can save up
to 70,000 native reef fish.
The hides are also more sustainable than traditional
animal leathers, which generally require grazing on huge
amounts of pasture — degrading soils and producing high
carbon emissions. Inversa does not hunt the lionfish itself.
Instead, it relies on educating and encouraging largely poor
fishermen and women in often remote places to catch them.
“We’re really sort of empowering the consumer and fashion
by doing something for the planet — then we empower dive
communities in fishing cooperatives to do something for
themselves,” Chavda said.

Daters are astonished by the high prices of wining and
dining a romantic interest with inflation at its highest rate
in over 40 years. The consumer price index category for
food away from home rose 7.7% in June 2022 from a year
earlier, while full-service restaurants climbed 8.9%. For those
testing the waters with a cocktail or two, prices for alcoholic
beverages rose by 4%.
Those searching for love say they’re feeling the pain.
Among 3,000 users on the popular dating app Hinge, almost
41% said they were more concerned with the cost of dates
now versus a year ago, with Generation Z respondents more
likely to feel the pressure. Emily Derby, a 27-year-old in Tulsa,
Oklahoma, said her dating costs have doubled from $200 to
$400 a month.
As costs escalate, some singles are scaling back and
being more selective about the dates they’re going on, while
others are pausing their search for “the one” entirely. On dating
site OKCupid, 34% of 70,000 users reported that inflation was
impacting their love life.
“In the fall of 2020, I was going on dates left and right
not really thinking about the costs,” said Seth Rosenberg, a
25-year-old in Philadelphia. “Now, it’s harder to be excited
because if a date goes bad, you’re out anywhere from $50
to $100.”
Those still in the dating game have both love and money
on the mind. New York City-based dating coach Amy Nobile
said even her wealthy clients, many of whom pay $15,000 for
a four-month program, are trying to cut their dating costs in
half. Clients who would typically spend as much as $150 on a
date are seeing if they can get away with $75 or less.
“People are feeling rising prices,” she said. “For those in
the long game to find a partner, they feel like they really need
to monitor their money flow in the dating world.” As a result,
people are on the hunt for less expensive options, said Logan
Ury, director of relationship science at Hinge.

The “Modern Physician” needs to embrace technology

and private practices to implement technology solutions such as
telehealth, the evolution toward a more tech-savvy healthcare
experience was firmly underway. The days of carting paper charts

The “Modern Physician” needs to embrace technology

Even before the COVID-19 pandemic forced health systems
and private practices to implement technology solutions such as
telehealth, the evolution toward a more tech-savvy healthcare
experience was firmly underway. The days of carting paper charts
and hard film x-rays has been broadly supplanted with cloudbased electronic health records and digital Picture Archiving
Communications Systems (PACS). The pandemic has made those
previously reticent to adopt technology wake up to its necessity.
Practicing medicine today requires a higher degree of

Advancing gender equity in medicine
[…]
The problem of gender inequity in medical leadership is not the result of too few candidates who are not men with the appropriate experience and training to fulfill leadership roles, nor can it be explained by merely suggesting that different genders do not have the same aspirations as men. Gender inequity is largely underpinned by socially constructed gender norms, roles and relations. For example, gender roles explain why female clinicians with children spend 100.2 minutes more per day on household activities and child care than their male counterparts. This makes it more challenging for female clinicians with children to get ahead. Gender norms explain why more men are given leadership opportunities and have stronger letters of reference than other genders. Furthermore, gender relations explain why men have fewer consequences for uncivil behaviour or for harassment in the workplace compared with other genders. A recent observational study of operating room culture evaluated the prevalence and predictors of exposure to disruptive behaviour in the operating room. Disruptive behaviour was described as a range of unacceptable workplace behaviours, including incivility, bullying and harassment. A further definition provided is “interpersonal behaviour (i.e., directed toward others or occurring in the presence of others) that results in a perceived threat to victims and/or witnesses and violates a reasonable person’s standard of respectful behaviour.” The study found that clinicians who are women report more exposure to disruptive behaviour and are substantially less confident or empowered to take action to address incivility in their hospital and university settings. Gender and sexual harassment may be associated with environments that exhibit gender inequity in pay, opportunity and promotion. Disruptive behaviour and overt harassment likely endure within our medical institutions because the offenders are often considered invaluable to the organization for their stature, leadership, productivity or reputation, and are largely not held unaccountable for their actions, which further amplifies gender inequities.
Ensuring gender equity in medicine is an issue of justice and rights. Having more physicians who are women and more women in health policy leadership also appears to enhance the provision of high-quality patient care. Large, well-conducted observational studies have shown that patients of female clinicians experience better quality of care for diabetes, and significantly lower rates of mortality, hospital readmissions and emergency department visits than those treated by male clinicians. One study considered that reasons for this may include that women spend more time with their patients, are more patient-centred in their approach and provide more evidence-based care. Two recent opinion pieces discuss research showing that female representation on corporate boards, such as hospital boards, results in more socially thoughtful decisions and less corruption. Without gender equity, we risk extinguishing creative solutions to complex health problems and, most importantly, limiting patient access to the best care.
