SPH's Shine Lecture to Focus on the High Prices of America's Emergency Rooms | BU Today


PHP in 2017 after interviewing President Obama about the Affordable Care Act. What are your predictions about the Biden administration successfully protecting and building on Obamacare?
Sarah Kliff: Well, it’s come a little full circle since then, since we’re talking right after President Biden’s inauguration. What I do expect is them to move forward on the suite of changes the Democrats have really wanted to make to the Affordable Care Act. Generally, this is all in the category of making health insurance more affordable and doing that by giving people bigger subsidies.
This is something we’ve already seen President Biden tackling in his first stimulus plan, that $1.9 trillion stimulus. There’s a sentence in there, and it’s only a single sentence, but it would be quite important to the Affordable Care Act, that would strengthen subsidies, basically make higher-income people eligible for subsidies ....

Brain waves guide us in spotlighting surprises

If you open your office door one morning and there is a new package waiting on your desk, that’s what you will notice most in the otherwise unchanged room. A recent study by MIT and Boston University neuroscientists finds that the dynamic interplay of different brain wave frequencies, rather than dedicated circuitry, appears to govern the brain’s knack for highlighting what’s surprising and downplaying what’s predictable. ....

Azer Bestavros, recently named BU’s first associate provost for computing and data sciences, sat in a Howard Thurman Center for Common Ground conference room overlooking the Charles River last February and listened as antiracism scholar Ibram X. Kendi laid out his bold vision: bringing antiracist investigators together with data scientists to tackle racial inequities, he would establish Boston University as the nation’s leading academic institution for data-driven antiracist research. Kendi, who was visiting from American University, had been in talks with BU about joining the faculty but this was his first in-person meeting with Bestavros.
Bestavros, who had been charged with embedding computing and data science across the University in every discipline, from the humanities to engineering to medicine, was impressed. “I was struck by the scale of what he was envisioning and by his conviction that data is essential not only in exposing racia ....
