"Current research and privacy regulations, which were designed for clinical research and for small-data studies of the past, cannot support creation of the vast data resources that 21st-century science needs. These regulations enshrine data-holders (hospitals, insurers, and other entities that store people's data) as the prime movers in assembling large-scale data resources for scientific use and rely on mechanisms - such as de-identification of data and waivers of individual consent - that are unworkable going forward. They shower individuals with unwanted, paternalistic protections - such as barriers to access to their own research results - while denying them a voice in what will be done with their data."

Unbeknownst to many, mindfulness meditation can exacerbate symptoms of traumatic stress. Instructed to pay close, sustained attention to their inner-world, people struggling with trauma can experience flashbacks, dysregulation, or dissociation.  On this site, you'll find resources designed to prevent this while leveraging the power of mindfulness towards trauma recovery."

Recommended by Tyler Orion: Understanding the Rare Disease Ecosystem "Rare diseases (RDs) are different from more common ones, often presenting special challenges for patients, physicians, caregivers, payers, and pharma companies. Those differences and challenges are mostly a consequence of rarity (of patients, experts, data, resources, etc.) and the typically high disease burden. "

It draws from ideas and resources developed mostly by Black, Brown and People of Color, and has been edited by Black, Brown, and People of Color.  I recognize that categorizing actions under the labels of Actor, Ally, and Accomplice is an oversimplification, but hopefully this chart challenges all of us White folks to go outside of our comfort zones, take some bigger risks, and make some more significant sacrifices because this is what we've been asked to do by those most impacted by racism, colonialism, patriarchy, white supremacy, xenophobia, and hyper-capitalism. I believe that for real change to occur, we must confront and challenge all people, policies, systems, etc., that maintain privileges and power for White people."
