Category: Biotech and Healthcare

Email: query-b0p4@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: The Checkup by SingleCare

Deadline: 9:00 AM EST - 14 July

Query:

I'm seeking two physicians (thinking one internal/general
medicine, one ob-gyn) or Pharm.Ds for an article for The Checkup
blog by SingleCare on questions to ask your doctor if you're a
black, indigenous or person of color. There have been numerous
stories out there about people, particularly women, of color who
have struggled to get their voiced health concerns taken
seriously by their healthcare positions, often further
jeopardizing their well-being along the way. This further
highlights the need for minorities to know how to advocate for
themselves.

These are some similar posts the blog has done that offer
general info:

My submission deadline is Tuesday, July 21, so I'd be looking to
schedule phone interviews this week.

"Hope" ornaments they create onsite, a volunteer reads The Night
Before Christmas and this tradition rotates every year, someone

Name: Shiraz jagati Cointelegraph

Category: High Tech

Email: query-b0q1@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: Cointelegraph

Deadline: 10:00 AM EST - 14 July

Query:

Hey HARO family,

I am a Cointelegraph journo currently working on a piece
regarding Singapore's latest blockchain payments platform -
Project Ubin. Was looking to get expert insights in regard to
the following Qs:

(i) Singapore authorities announced today that their blockchain
payments project -- Project Ubin -- is complete and ready for
commercial launch. Could you please comment on the impact that
this offering will have on the country's local crypto ecosystem?

(ii) In your opinion, what sort of financial, technological
potential does Project Ubin hold in terms of making crypto
mainstream within Asia?

(iii) Why do you think there has been a massive spurt in
blockchain adoption across Singapore. For example, latest data
suggests that over the past 12 months Singapore has seen a 50%
growth in the number of blockchain companies -- many of whom
are making use of crypto assets -- across the country. Could
there be a correlation between the government showing keenness
in exploring this space and more local, private players starting
to explore this domain?

(iv) Please feel free to add any more points that you may see
fit in relation to this subject -- i.e. what the future holds
for the Singaporean crypto economy, etc.

For your time, we will be more than happy to include your name,
company details etc in the piece. However, im not allowed to add
back links in the article.

Looking forward to hearing from y'all

Regards

Requirements:

Comments should only come from crypto experts operating within
Singapore and have a solid understanding of the country's crypto
ecosystem.
