Biotech and Healthcare

1) Summary: OBGYN Quotes: How COVID-19 Affects Your Menstrual Cycle

Name: Kirsten Nunez Marea Wellness

Category: Biotech and Healthcare

Email: query-b4ma@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: Marea Wellness

Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 13 August

Query:

Hello! I'm writing an article for a multivitamin brand's
website. The multivitamin is formulated for menstruating women
and PMS relief. You can learn more about the product and blog
here: https://mareawellness.com/blogs/news

The article is about how COVID-19 affects menstruation. Of
course, a lot is still unknown, but we'd like to share what is
known so far.

We're looking for quotes from OBGYNs or primary care doctors. To
contribute, please answer:

1. How can COVID-19 (or *any* sickness, for that matter) cause
menstrual disruptions on a biological level? (You can talk about
how the immune/reproductive systems interact, etc.) Please be
specific in explaining the link, for example mentioning
different cells, hormones, etc. 2. Emotional stress is obviously
a major factor - especially if you've contracted the virus and
had symptoms. How does high emotional stress disrupt your cycle?
(Again, please mention what happens to hormones etc.) 3. Are you
more susceptible to contracting viral infections (or
experiencing symptoms, if you've already caught one)
before/during your period? ie: Does menstruating alter your
immune defense? 4. Can COVID-19/other infections worsen
existing hormone conditions? (reference:
https://www.endocrine.org/news-and-advocacy/news-room/2020/coronavirus-damages-the-endocrine-system)
5. We'd like to remind readers that ANY menstrual changes
warrant a visit/talk with their OBGYN. Please expand: How do
people know if it's stress or something else? Why is it
important to not ignore your menstrual health, even in the
middle of a pandemic?

Please do not send product/app pitches. Thanks and looking
forward to your replies!

Requirements:

You must be an OBGYN or primary care doctor/family physician.
Please include your bio/LinkedIn/portfolio.

I'm working on an article for Supermajority News about

about the potential ramifications of a rushed vaccine and lack
of diversity in trials and what can be done legally &

COVID-19 vaccine trial. (Particularly interested to speak to
someone involved in recruiting subjects for these trials)

vaccine trial.

-Any legislator or politician in the US who is paying
DEMONSTRABLE attention to this issue. Don't send me lip service
about how this is "an important part of your platform" - show me
what you have DONE on a legal and legislative level to ensure
that these vaccines trials are equitable and inclusive (i.e.,
efforts for removal of the regulatory burden, lobbying for
additional research funds, efforts to ensure accountability). If
you don't necessarily fall into these specific categories but
think you might have valuable input for this story, please be in
touch.

6) Summary: RDs and DRs: Do we really need meat to build muscle?

Name: Tracey Duncan Bustle

Category: Biotech and Healthcare

Email: query-b4nc@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: Bustle

Deadline: 10:00 AM EST - 11 August

Query:

I've been mostly vegetarian for most of my life. I eat dairy and
eggs now, but I was vegan for many years. I'm also a runner, a
yoga teacher, and a bona fide workout junkie. For someone who
wants to build lean muscle mass, is veg the way to go? The
information out there seems skewed by the ethical quandary about
meat eating. While I myself prefer not to eat animals, I want my
readers to know what science says. I would like to talk to RDs,
sports nutritionists, and doctors about what they think.

Here are my questions: 1. Do we need meat, really, to bulk up or
build muscles? 2. What veg stuff can we eat to bulk up? 3. Do
our bodies really know the difference between animal and
non-animal proteins? Do they make a difference in terms of
building muscle mass? 4. If people choose veg, what do they need
to do to supplement if they live active lives? 5. Are there
specific exercises we should do depending on our diets? What are
they? 6. Anything else?

Please reply directly to this post. Please do not put me on your
mailing list. Thank you and have a great day!

20) Summary: After COVID-19 is ESG disclosure more important than ever?

Name: Bruce Love Medium

Category: Business and Finance

Email: query-b4lp@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: Medium

Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 11 August

Query:

Since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic and the supply chain
and productivity disruption that ensued, every day we're seeing
headlines in the business pages that say essentially the same
thing -- that 2020 has been a banner year for ESG investing.
While many of these articles particularly highlight the
importance of the "S" for Social (and the S is important), some
also highlight the "E" for Environmental.

So what next for the "E"?

Will this sentiment lose momentum once the virus has subsided?
Or will we see renewed focus on environmental issues, including
climate change (studies point to a connection between the
effects of climate change and deforestation and the rise of
infectious diseases)?

For an article on medium and the Measurabl website, I'm writing
an analysis piece looking at how companies will deal with ESG --
and particularly the E post-pandemic.

In short, is ESG disclosure more important than ever? And has
the pandemic made investors more scrupulous? (And is climate
change next in their sights?)

Requirements:

Looking for subject matter experts with strong insight in this
matter.

Amazon reportedly will use vacant J.C. Penney and Sears stores

they react to Amazon moving in? What does all of this mean for
the retail real estate landscape?

Name: Amy Gallo Harvard Business Review

Category: Business and Finance

Email: query-b4no@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: Harvard Business Review

Deadline: 5:00 PM EST - 12 August

Query:

We're looking for an executive to comment on a fictional case in
Harvard Business Review. The ideal person would be an executive
who has faced a decision to change a product, label, branding,
etc because it's been pointed out that it might be offensive. In
their commentary, they would advise what the fictional
protagonist of our case study should do and reference their own
experience with a similar dilemma.

In the fictional case, the protagonist is a manager of a whiskey
brand, which was founded in the early 19th century and named
after a slave of the original distiller. The brand manager
contemplates if and how to alter the brand amid the growing
global conversation about racism. While the whiskey hasn't yet
been called out for its problematic history on social media like
other products, the company's executives assume it's only a
matter of time and they want to be proactive. Do they need to
start from scratch and rebuild a new brand? Can they risk losing
the name recognition? Should they fold the whiskey into another
one of their popular brands? Or can they alter the name to
distance themselves from the product's racial implications? Or
is it possible -- or ethical -- to do nothing since their
research shows that those implications don't influence their
customers' buying habits?

Requirements:

Must be an executive willing to go on the record about your past
experience with re-branding decisions.

Query:

I'm researching a story about home insurance and the types of
coverage it offers when you are away from home. I'd love to hear
from anyone who has made a claim on their home insurance for a
travel-related problem. For example, some home insurance covers
losses like theft while you're traveling. What happened? What
was the process like? Was your claim successful? From insurance
experts, I'd love to know home or renters insurance cover when
you are not at home? How do you find out about that coverage? Is
it worth relying on home or renters insurance instead of
traditional travel insurance?

69) Summary: looking for very interesting people who are eager to open up honestly and share fascinating stories

Name: Bill Murphy Jr. Inc

Category: General

Email: query-b4i9@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: Inc

Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 14 August

Query:

Wanted: very interesting people who are eager to open up
honestly in interviews and share their most fascinating stories,
for my 700-1,000 word "as told to" features on
Understandably.com and in some cases for additional coverage on
Inc.com. I know this sounds like a very broad request -- and it
is. Please just think about whether the story you want to share
is truly "very interesting," and if you're truly "eager to open
up honestly," and if you're comfortable with the "as told to"
format.

You might want to check out a couple of my past examples of
these kinds of stories, for example: https://murph.me/attex1 and
https://murph.me/attex2. Other upcoming editions include (a) a
woman who had gone through multiple rounds of IVF without
success only to have an unplanned child at age 43, (b) a man who
lost his sight around his 30th birthday then became a leading
advocate for the blind, (c) a woman who decided she'd had enough
of being a pessimist and trained herself for more than a year to
be an optimist.

Asking for these on HARO is an experiment, but if it works I'll
ask again as this is an ongoing series.

Requirements:

Very important ... Please *only* send the following: (a) your
name/email address, (b) whether you're writing on your own
behalf or for someone else, (c) a 100-200 word (max!) summary
of the story you have to share and why it's fascinating, (d)
optional: 1-2 links (max) where I can learn more info,
preferably other published stories, first-person accounts, etc.,
and (e) if you're looking for press because you're
pitching/selling something specific (like a product or a
business), maybe one link so I can understand it. The focus
here is 100% on sharing really interesting first-person stories
that help readers understand other people. If it looks like it
might be a fit for what I'm looking for, I'll follow up with
more information, and we can set a time for a phone or Zoom
interview.

96) Summary: Democrats push COVID tracking privacy bill

Name: Grant Gross Freelance

Category: Public Policy and Government

Email: query-b4n6@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: Freelance

Deadline: 5:00 PM EST - 11 August

Query:

A group of Senate Democrats are pushing legislation that would
limit the use of tracking and other health data collected for
COVID-19 tracking purposes.
https://www.warner.senate.gov/public/_cache/files/3/0/30475df0-8e30-4cfb-8f09-3a766a617f7a/213A453225B41E57915F240CFD0CA3B3.phepa-letter-to-leadership-final.docx.pdf

They have asked the Senate to include the Public Health
Emergency Privacy Act
(https://www.congress.gov/bill/116th-congress/senate-bill/3749)
in the next COVID stimulus package. The bill would:

-- Ensure that data collected for public health is strictly
limited for use in public health;

-- Explicitly prohibit the use of health data for
discriminatory, unrelated, or intrusive purposes, including
commercial advertising, e-commerce, or efforts to gate access to
employment, finance, insurance, housing, or education
opportunities;

-- Prevent the potential misuse of health data by government
agencies with no role in public health;

-- Require meaningful data security and data integrity
protections - including data minimization and accuracy - and
mandate deletion by tech firms after the public health emergency.

My questions:

-- Is this kind of legislation necessary? Why?

-- Are there any downsides to these limits on use of COVID-19
health data?

-- Do you see the legislation as likely to pass or to be
included in a stimulus package yet this year?
