Category: Biotech and Healthcare

Email: query-b4pq@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: Very Well Health

Deadline: 12:00 PM EST - 11 August

Query:

Hello. I am a nurse and healthcare writer. seeking a source to
interview and quote an article I am writing for
VeryWellHealth.com about the importance of knowing your blood
type.

I would love to speak with one of your medical directors
regarding the following questions I have:

1. Is it important to know your blood type, even if you don't
expect to need a blood transfusion? What are the benefits of
knowing your blood type? Does blood type ever change during
one's life?

2. Is it important for women of childbearing age to know their
blood type and the blood type of their partner, especially if
they are planning to conceive a child? Why or why not? Is it
routine for an obstetrician or midwife to test blood type when a
woman is newly pregnant? Are there risks involved in not knowing
both partners' blood types prior to conception?

3. When do doctors usually test to find out a person's blood
type? (When blood is needed immediately for a transfusion,
before surgery, work-up for transplant donor or recipient, at
the beginning of pregnancy - did I leave anything out??)

4. How reliable are at-home blood type testing kits? Do you need
to know your blood type without a doctor having a reason to
order a lab test to find out?

Thank you very much!

I am "grounding myself in reality?" Is this just another kind of
escapism? 2. Psychologically speaking, what do you think I'm
trying to do for myself? Is this a typical way that people seek
a sense of control or understanding? 3. Facts feel more soothing
to me than fiction right now, what do you think of that? 4.

in person but may not be able to due to lack of toy stores? 5.
What tips do you recommend to help clueless adults buy the right
toy/kids gift, especially if they really don't know how or what
to buy for a particular child (blind buying)? 6. What tips do
you recommend to reduce gift giver and receiver regret (e.g.,
always include a gift receipt in the box/package, give the child
a plastic or e-gift card instead that they can use to buy toys
online or in a store, etc.)? 7. Any other thoughts, tips, or
suggestions on this topic? 8. What is your full name, title,
company, city/state location, and email address?

Media Outlet: One Million by One Million

Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 12 August

Query:

Hi, My name is Sheldon Chi. I am responsible for coordinating
stories for the 1Mby1M blog [1mby1m.com]]. The Entrepreneur
Journeys (EJ) series is our flagship series and we're looking
for interesting companies with at least $5 million in annual
revenue to feature in lengthy feature stories. We are interested
in interviewing the entrepreneur who can and is willing to
discuss, at length, the nuances of the strategy and process of
company building, spanning topics such as bootstrapping,
financing, positioning, customer acquisition, channels, team
building, etc. To pitch, please provide revenue level, industry
(Our interests: E-Commerce, Cloud Computing, SaaS, Mobile,
Social, Big Data, IoT, FinTech, Digital Media, Gaming,
Healthcare IT, Online Education, etc.) and focus of the story
angle in terms of company-building experience. We use the
revenue level as a qualification criterion for selecting
entrepreneurs to profile. We don't necessarily have to publish
this number in the actual story. The Entrepreneur Journeys
series has already produced 12 books
(http://tinyurl.com/4p4phwy). You can see examples of the series
on our blog (http://tinyurl.com/d8m9mt). This blog is part of
the One Million by One Million global initiative, whose aim is
to help a million entrepreneurs reach $1 million in annual
revenue. We also use the EJ interviews as case studies to teach
other entrepreneurs how to navigate the entrepreneurial waters.
You get publicity, as well as a platform to share your lessons
from the trenches with a large number of aspiring and practicing
entrepreneurs. 1M/1M has syndication relationships with many
venues: HBR, Xconomy, SmallBizTrends, EconomicTimes (India),
Women 2.0, Mashable, Huffington Post, Business Insider,
ReadWriteWeb, and several other sites. Articles we develop
through these interviews often get repackaged for the
syndication partners. The 1Mby1M blog was named by Forbes in the
Top 100 Blog for Entrepreneurs (http://onforb.es/1a6RkOs). The
procedure is to have a one-hour interview by phone or in-person
in Menlo Park, at our office. We will provide the dial-in for
phone interviews, and the address for the in-person interviews.

Requirements:

When you send in your pitch, please be sure to include the
revenue level, as it is the primary criterion we use to select
stories. Unlike other entrepreneurship media, we do not look for
financing as a criterion for determining story worthiness. Also,
if your revenue threshold is below the $5M level currently, you
are welcome to email me, and I will check if your story might
fit in any of our other series. To give you a flavor, here are
some of our other ongoing series: The 1M/1M Deal Radar: Revenue
between $1M and $5M, high growth rate. We typically do email
interviews for this series. Thought Leader Interviews: We also
have Thought Leader Series opportunities in Cloud Computing,
Cyber Security, Mobile and Social, Big Data, Outsourcing, Online
Education, e-commerce, Gaming, Online Fashion, HealthcareIT,
Internet Of Things, etc. These require, however, that the
company has a minimum of $5M in revenue.

(http://onforb.es/1a6RkOs) and among the top 100 influencers on
the topic of cloud computing. Indicate in your pitch the revenue
level, as we use this as a qualification criterion for selecting
entrepreneurs to profile. We don't necessarily have to publish
this number in the actual story. Please also provide the story
angle, talking points, etc., so we can gauge what is the thought
leadership point of view we will be highlighting in the series.
Our audience is extremely sophisticated, so the conversation
needs to be equally interesting. Sramana Mitra was also named as

Name: Virginia Pelley Fatherly

Category: Lifestyle and Fitness

Email: query-b4ny@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: Fatherly

Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 12 August

Query:

Hello,

I'm writing a story regarding some recent research in which the
authors developed a scale for quantifying "man box" traits, or
harmful attitudes regarding masculinity such as homophobia and
aggression. They found that the higher the score on the man box
scale, the higher men seem to be at risk for mental health
issues, bullying and violence.
(https://www.upmc.com/media/news/080520-man-box-scale)

I'm looking for psychologists who specialize in treating men or
professors or authors who have studied men and masculinity,
particularly gender-based attitudes and constraints. Do you
think "the man box" is a useful frame for discussions about how
men deal with societal norms and attitudes?

84) Summary: PSYCHOLOGISTS: What kind of experiences can we buy right now?

Name: Tracey Duncan Bustle

Category: Lifestyle and Fitness

Email: query-b4q3@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: Bustle

Deadline: 1:00 PM EST - 11 August

Query:

It's a cliche: having things doesn't make us happy. But
researchers are also pretty agreed that having good experiences
does make us happy. So money can't buy you happiness, but money
can buy you experiences that will make you happier. Savvy? Most
financial advisors (and everyone else) will tell you that it's
better to spend your money on experiences than things. But what
does that mean right now? How can we buy experiences when
everything's on lockdown? Do movies count? Chocolate? I would
like to talk to talk to a psychologist about what kinds of
experiences we can have right now that will give us some joy and
a financial coach about what we can buy to get there?

Here are my questions. Please reply with your answers. I will
reach out for further contact if you're a good fit, but I need
more than your bio to see if you click for the piece. Thanks for
understanding.

1. What kinds of things make us happy that are purchase-able? 2.
What kinds of things do we buy because we think will make us
happy, but which generally have no measurable effect? 3. A lot
of folx are retail therapy-ing up a storm right now. Is this
healthy? Unhealthy? 4. Some research suggests that when we buy
experiences (like vacation), they can actually help improve our
state of mind, but there are precious few real life experiences
to be had right now. What do you think people can invest in that
will help them feel better? 5. My general take is that money can
make you more comfortable, but comfort and happiness are not the
same. I sort of think that having undergone my share of
discomfort has made me more resilient. What do you think? 6. So,
then, is this a moment in which we should actively seek relief
or escape or should we be soldiering on? Is there a middle
ground? 7. Other thoughts on this?
