Sunday Snippets is a round-up of headlines about women’s health and lives from the past week that we haven’t covered in our regular posts. Snippets is a perk for our terrific paid subscribers, released a few days later for all readers. It takes time — many hours every week — to search for relevant news, add context and deeper dive links, and get these stories to you without ads and paid endorsements. If you find this valuable, please LIKE the post so we know someone’s out there; consider buying us a much needed coffee (or a timely margarita?); or definitely better yet, a paid subscription to support what we do … we do it for you!
