100 Million Women Use Period-Tracking App Flo. Why Some Are Deleting It 100 Million Women Use Period-Tracking App Flo. Why Some Are Deleting It Now nine months into her pregnancy, Grilli, 33, is one of more than a half-dozen women who told The Lily they are permanently deleting the app after the Federal Trade Commission announced on Wednesday that it filed a complaint against Flo, alleging that it shared millions of users data.

Between 2017 and 2019, the app s privacy policies noted that it would not share users information.
Kat Grilli started using Flo - a popular period- and pregnancy-tracking app - a year ago, when she began her IVF journey to get pregnant with her husband, who is transgender. She logged onto the app to track her periods so she would know when to start IVF drugs, she said, adding that she also responded to prompts about her sexual activity, hunger and exercise.

When Jenny A. Powers was a child, she watched “Mister Rogers Neighborhood” almost every day. She enjoyed the factory tours Fred Rogers took his television audience on; her favorite was the crayon factory tour.
“Crayons were a big part of my life, and that episode really opened my imagination and made me want to learn more about how everyday objects were created,” she said. “I also loved the episode where we learned how construction paper is made, especially how the different colors are produced.”

Pittsburgher Criseena Johnson is one of millions of people who will lose her unemployment benefits in a matter of days, without Congressional action.
Johnson, a single mother who worked for more than 15 years in the restaurant industry, has been out of a job since March.
“I’m one of those people that’s teetering the line of picking which one do I want to keep, do I want to feed my family, or do I want to keep my car?”
And that’s before she expects her unemployment to end on Dec. 26.
Two programs – Pandemic Unemployment Assistance and Pandemic Emergency Unemployment Compensation – will end this month if Congress does not extend them.

Virologist Sham Nambulli works inside the BSL-3 lab at the Center for Vaccine Research at the University of Pittsburgh on Nov. 13. The BSL-3 lab is a special negative pressure room that requires researches like Nambulli to wear specialized protective gear. Nambulli is working on creating a measles vector vaccine for SARS-CoV-2.

PNNL-led team designs highly active cobalt-based PGM-free catalyst for fuel cells
A multi-institutional research team led by materials scientists from Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) has designed a highly active and durable catalyst that doesn’t rely on costly platinum group metals (PGM) to spur the necessary chemical reaction.
The new catalyst contains cobalt interspersed with nitrogen and carbon. When compared to a similarly structured catalyst made from iron another promising, well-studied platinum substitute the team found that the cobalt catalyst achieved a similar reaction but with four times the durability. The research is published in
Nature Catalysis.
The development of catalysts free of platinum-group metals and with both a high activity and durability for the oxygen reduction reaction in proton exchange membrane fuel cells is a grand challenge. Here we report an atomically dispersed Co and N co-doped carbon (Co–N–C) catalyst with a high catalytic ox
