Unfinished business

"A shameful death after a supermarket scuffle shines a light on Australia’s unfinished business. From compensation for the Stolen Generations to Indigenous recognition, Australia must follow words with actions."

"There is unfinished business in this country, and there can be no excuses for not knowing or understanding. We need to change direction and remove the burden from the most vulnerable."

"In a land of home improvers surely the principle of fixing the foundations first if you want to really close the gaps is obvious."

IN-DEPTH: For clean beauty brands, getting #PFAS out of #makeup might be easier said than done

“Even the most well-intentioned brands could experience PFAS problems.”

Elizabeth Gribkoff
Mar 24, 2022

"The [PFAS] compounds can be added to makeup to make products #WaterResistant, longer-lasting, and more spreadable. Until last year, there were no studies looking at how much PFAS were in North American cosmetics, although the U.S. Food and Drug Administration is notoriously hands-off in regulating the safety of personal care products. With that in mind, a team of researchers from the University of Notre Dame, Indiana University, and other institutions tested more than 200 #mascaras, #concealers, #EyeShadows, and other cosmetics from North America.

"What they found surprised the researchers: roughly half the products they tested contained the PFAS indicator organic fluorine. Colored #lipsticks, mascaras, and #foundations advertised as '#LongLasting' or '#WearResistant' had particularly high levels."

Kudos to the Volkswagen Foundation for experimenting with a new kind of #PeerReview for evaluating proposals.
researchonresearch.org/volkswa

I have no opinion (right now) on the new method. I just want to applaud the experiment. The foundation is using its old and new methods side by side for a time and plans to compare the results.

More orgs that evaluate research (#journals, #universities, #foundations, #government agencies) should open up to this kind of experiment.

In response to @kelseyhightower on the Bird Site...

I consider the "anti-fragmentation" movement that made it less socially acceptable to compete ("join us under our Big Tent! No? You're doing your own open-source thing? You're not Open Sourcing Right by not joining us!") harmful.

After leaving McKinsey at the end of 2020, I shifted focus and set up israel-impact.com to advise #philanthropic #foundations and help them grow the #non-profits they support in Israel.

I love #books & #Jewish learning and live in #Raanana, #Israel with my wife and our three children.
