The article "Clara Barton: The Angel of the Battlefield Who Changed Medicine Forever" from BBC's HistoryExtra is a powerful look at Barton's lifelong devotion to helping others. From nursing wounded Civil War soldiers to founding the American Red Cross, she broke barriers in healthcare, women's rights, and disaster relief, earning her the title “Angel of the Battlefield.”
The article "The Gender Pain Gap: Why It’s Time To Take Women’s Health More Seriously" from BBC's Science Focus discusses the disparities in how women's pain is treated compared with men's. Women often face longer wait times for diagnoses and treatment, and their pain is frequently dismissed or misunderstood.
These days, youth tech knowledge goes way beyond helping parents get out of their front-facing camera. Around the world, teenagers are being arrested in connection to serious cyberattacks that have disrupted everywhere from supermarkets to transport systems to healthcare companies, and even individuals.
But it’s not like these teens want to rob everyone of their crypto, or change all the supermarket barcodes to get free cookies. A young man named Lucas, for example, was caught twice hacking into his school computers so he could play games and access blocked websites. But he wasn’t expelled or arrested. Instead, he was enrolled in Cyber Choices, a nationwide program designed to steer young people away from illegal hacking.
The program teaches participants what is legal and illegal while encouraging them to use their technical skills for good instead of evil through training, qualifications, and future careers. So far, around 1,000 young people have gone through the program.
Cyber Choices is a voluntary program that’s hopefully appealing enough to tempt participants to join willingly, but that’s not always the case. Owen Flowers, for example, was offered the program as a teenager but refused to participate. He was later sentenced to five and a half years in prison for hacking.
Cyber Choices may be a helpful intervention, but schools are still taking preemptive action by having police do regular visits to teach students about cybercrime.
