Biotech and Healthcare
1) Summary: What medications should breastfeeding moms avoid?Name: Jennifer Larson FamilyWize
Category: Biotech and HealthcareEmail: query-aygc@helpareporter.net
Media Outlet: FamilyWize
Deadline: 6:00 PM EST - 27 June
Query:
When you're pregnant, you want to be very judicious about what
you put into your body, including medications. But what happens
after the baby is born, and you're breastfeeding? Many
breastfeeding moms may wonder which medications are okay to
take, and which ones are best to avoid until they wean their
babies.
I'd like to get the expert opinion of a physician or nurse
practitioner about what women need to know when they're
breastfeeding when it comes to medications. How do you weigh the
risks and benefits? Are there some gray areas, in which a
medication might be acceptable if certain conditions warrant it?
And what medications should all breastfeeding mothers absolutely
avoid? What else would you want breastfeeding mothers to know or
consider?
This is for an article that I'm writing for parents for a blog
for the website FamilyWize. You can check out the blog here:
https://www.familywize.org/blog
Requirements:
Please contact me through HARO or via email at
larson_jennifer@yahoo.com if you or someone you represent can
weigh in on these questions and perhaps a couple more.

As a writer for Business Insider and US News & World Report, I'm

catching the virus, etc--even as reopenings occur.
Requirements:
If you are opting to stay home to stay safe during the COVID-19
pandemic rather than going out in the reopenings, I'd love to
hear from you about your decision and your concerns--such as how
long you plan to shelter in place (such as whether you are
waiting for a vaccine to become available), whether you are
leaving your house for any essential errands or business at all,
whether you are exercising outdoors, how you are feeling about
your choice to stay home currently, whether you are doing so
with other family members or on your own, whether you know
others who are also staying home, whether you have a social
bubble that includes any other family members or friends who are
also sheltering in place, and anything else you would like to
share about your decision.

The tragic death of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, birthed
the Movement for Black Lives and a new generation of
internet-oriented social activists collected under the banner of
Black Lives Matter. In 2020 we have seen the movement grow to
new heights with the action spurred by yet another tragic death.
This time, everyone seems to agree, is different. One notable
sign has become the increasing willingness of some companies to
publicly support the movement. The article will explore the
shift in attitudes, what corporate philanthropic action happened
(or didn't) in the wake of 2014 and what leaders are planning
going forward.

Query:
Hello. My name is Erik Martin, and I am a reporter with CTW
Features. We will be publishing a nationally syndicated special
section called "Downsizing and Universal Design" in late
summer/early fall that will publish in newspapers and websites

real estate agents/brokers, architects, home builders, universal
design experts, and other real estate experts for the following
story:
Future-proof your home for your golden years: Universal design
elements to consider adding now. This piece will examine why
it's important to think ahead, if you plan to remain living in
your home, as to how you can age in place more comfortably, and
suggest worthwhile universal design amenities to implement in
your home. I can only accept full-sentence written responses
(via email) that I can use as quotes. My deadline is noon

stay put, as to how you can age in place more comfortably? 2.
What are the pros and cons of aging in place versus
downsizing/moving? 3. Has it gotten easier to remain in place
due to universal design innovations/improvements in recent
years? 4. What are some worthwhile universal design/age-in-place
features to consider adding to your home and why? Please provide
details for each and estimated prices for each (labor and
materials included). 5. What should homeowners consider
carefully before opting for/adding any universal design
elements? What realistic expectations should they have for use
and lifespan of these features? 6. Any other thoughts, tips, or
suggestions on this topic? 7. What is your full name, title,
company, city/state location, and email address?

Media Outlet: CTW Features
Deadline: 1:00 PM EST - 1 July
Query:
Hello. My name is Erik Martin, and I am a reporter with CTW
Features. We will be publishing a nationally syndicated special
section called "Downsizing and Universal Design" in late
summer/early fall that will publish in newspapers and websites
across the country (visit https://tinyurl.com/ejmctwfeatures
for past syndicated content samples from CTW Features). For one
of the stories running in this section, I'm looking to interview
real estate agents/brokers, architects, home builders, universal
design experts, and other real estate experts for the following
story:
Stay put or move on? Addressing the age-old question. This
article will explore the pros and cons of aging in place within
your current home indefinitely but making key modifications,
including universal design feature implementations, versus
selling your home and downsizing to a more amenable home (e.g.,
a smaller ranch with age-in-place features built-in) you can
enjoy in your older years. I can only accept full-sentence
written responses (via email) that I can use as quotes. My
deadline is noon central, Wednesday, July 1, 2020.
QUESTIONS: 1. When should homeowners start talking
about/considering the decision to age in place/stay put versus
downsize/move (including moving to an assisted living facility)?
What age(s) and circumstances? 2. What are the pros and cons of
aging in place and adding universal design features? 3. What are
the pros and cons of downsizing/moving to a more manageable home
or assisted living community? 4. Who are the best candidates for
aging in place and why? 5. Who are the best candidates for
downsizing/moving/assisted living and why? 6. What are the pros
and cons of aging in place versus downsizing/moving? 7. Any
other thoughts, tips, or suggestions on this topic? 8. What is
your full name, title, company, city/state location, and email
address?

As we all know, quarantine has set our routines all out of
whack. Normally, a healthy diet is helped in large part to the
rhythms of our day (you know, like going outside). Because
everything is closed for the time being, temptation to eat Pop
Tarts on your lunch break or waffles for dinner is at an all
time high. So, with that, I need advice: how can I keep healthy
habits while stuck in my house all day and night?
I also would like a second quote from this source on what they
would say to someone who has been sneaking the occasional
vegetable or other healthy item into a mostly junky diet these
past few months.
Requirements:
I need a General Physician or a Registered Dietitian to provide
an answer to give our millennial-focused audience some guidance
when it comes to staying healthy while in quarantine.
