A New Yorker cover from Bruce McCallDistance and Perspective
75 years ago, a white mob lynched two black teenagers in Marion, Indiana. On today’s show, a journalist tells guest host Tony Guida how these murders continue to haunt her hometown. But first, a conversation with Pulitzer Prize-winning sports columnist Ira Berkow. Plus, New Yorker cartoonist Bruce McCall will be here. And to start it all off, a look at the surprising ways in which gender affects medicine, on Underreported.
Underreported: Gender and Medicine
Until the early 1990s, two-thirds of the research on diseases that affect both men and women was done on men only. But a growing body of evidence shows that men and women react differently to diseases, and to the medicines that treat them. On today's Underreported, we'll examine some of these differences. We're joined by Dr. Marianne Legato, director of the Partnership for Gender-Specific Medicine at Columbia University, and the author of Eve's Rib and Why Men Never Remember and Women Never Forget. Dr. Laura Cousino Klein, a co-author of the study "Biobehavioral Responses to Stress in Females: Tend-and-Befriend, Not Fight-or-Flight," is here as well.
