Technology and social media companies must keep children safe Original
Multiple studies have shown that exposure to pornography has significant negative effects on a child's mental health, relationships and sexual attitudes. Because the adolescent brain is just developing, the effects of porn are exacerbated during this time of development. Children and teens exposed to pornography learn distorted perspectives on gender roles and the meaning of consent, and have a decreased capacity for empathy.

The best part of the holiday season is spending time with loved ones. Now imagine the worst thing happening – someone’s heart stops. Would you know what to do?

Over the years, design thinking and usability have changed the entire landscape of software development.
Stories for Good: Golf event raises $31,000 for Winona Community Foundation's grant program
It’s said that the United States is the most philanthropic country in the world. That means we give more to charity than other countries. In fact, according to Giving USA, Americans gave nearly $500 billion to charities in 2022.

Meet Matthew, the medevac: He flies 350 mph in the cold, dark of winter to help fellow Alaskans
About 1 in 5 Americans live in rural areas. Far too many of those 66 million people lack access to quality health care.

There are plenty of reasons for these disparities.
