WNYC is supported by Health Tech 2014: Fueling Innovation in Westchester, a conference highlighting advancements in healthcare technology, therapeutics, research, medical treatments, and product development.  Thursday, May 8th.

Since January, WNYC has been reporting a special series on health and healthcare in the Bronx. In collaboration with the Bronx Documentary Center, we've asked photojournalists to document people in the community and their "Lifelines" - the things or people in their lives that keep them healthy.

As part of The Greene Space's Wanderlust Wednesdays series, performance artist Marisa Morán Jahn and special guests whose work depends on copper answers your questions about relationships, betrayals, and revelations (bodily or terrestrial), and discuss the importance of copper throughout history.
