Category: Biotech and HealthcareEmail: query-b58t@helpareporter.net
Media Outlet: The Simple Dollar

overextending their savings just to survive. We're interested in

anxiety? 2. What steps can people take to reduce the anxiety

health resources are available for impacted Americans? (free,
reduced or payment plans)

Media Outlet: Men's Health (Print)
Deadline: 10:00 AM EST - 17 August
Query:
The topic for the story surrounds sodium research and African
Americans.
There is a theory that Blacks have a "gene" that leads to
greater salt sensitivity, this genetic-based position, which has
been disputed in the medical community, supports "the view of
whites and blacks as fundamentally distinct in terms of innate
biology or physiology," as a 2018 American Physiological Society
editorial stated. Because of this gene theory, the AHA still
continues to recommend lower salt intakes for Black people than
they do for whites. Consuming less salt leads to less
hypertension risk, which leads to a lower incidence of
cardiovascular diseases, they argue. And while those connections
are true, research is also beginning to show that it's not just
sodium that directly affects heart health--but how sodium fits
into an overall diet, lifestyle, and family history.
All of that said, I want to focus on why: 1) Medical studies
on (and medical recommendations for) Black people are
historically problematic, based not just on a misreading of data
but a refusal to collect good data in the first place; sodium
intake is really just the tip of the iceberg
2) There is still so much that we don't really understand about
how the human body works (i.e., the relationship between sodium
intake and heart health), so instead of recognizing the nuances
and uncertainties, institutions resort to gross
oversimplifications that can fall along racial lines. We can
get into sodium intake, and what we know about its relationship
with heart health, but not explicitly about how much salt we
should be eating. I want to know why we think we know what we
know, and how systemic racism (however insidious) has shaped
that view.

Deadline: 7:00 PM GMT - 17 August
Query:
DEF CON revealed and The Register reported: airplanes use floppy
disks to update their "navigation database" every 28 days.
1. Why do they still use this legacy medium as opposed to CDs or
USBs? Is it just a remnant of old times that wasn't deemed
worthy of update (if it ain't broke, don't fix it) ?
2. Is this more secure or less? I would think more (needing
physical access vs. remote updates), but what about the legacy
aspect of it?
3. What about an engineer visit required every 28 days
(inconvenience)
4. What exactly does a "navigation database" do? Does it
comprise maps and flight routes or there's more to it?
Thank you, and pardon my ignorance: not an aviation expert.
Requirements:
Be an aviation expert, pilot/crew or a cybersecurity expert
working in aviation. Prefer concise answers 2-3 sentences each,
if possible, than page-long reports.
