☆ What is in vitro fertilization, or IVF, and why does it include freezing eggs? Experts explain
  + stars: | 2024-02-21 | by ( Madeline Holcombe | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +5 min
Over 8 million babies have been born using this technology.”Another technology important to the IVF process is cryopreservation of embryos — or freezing after the egg is fertilized. As infertility experts warned about the impact on assisted reproduction, experts spoke to CNN to share what people should know about IVF and freezing eggs. Freezing embryos is helpful for genetic testing, Feinberg said. Freezing the eggs in the meantime keeps the eggs viable while health care providers look into genetic factors. If one cycle of IVF can result in multiple embryos, freezing the embryos can keep those that were not implanted viable for future use, McLean said.

☆ U.S. tech execs hone approach to counter unions amid growing worker interest
  + stars: | 2021-11-24 | by ( Julia Love | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +6 min
Mapbox's response offers a window into how tech companies are pushing back as unions seek to bring workers into the fold. The CWA also formed the Alphabet Workers Union, a so-called minority union that does not have collective bargaining rights. For many tech workers, the promise of a generous payday is no longer enough. They also want sound working conditions and assurances that the products they are building will not harm society, tech employees and organizers say. On their website, members of the Mapbox Workers Union wrote that they banded together "to build a lasting, accountable, inclusive Mapbox."
