Corday: Your book is on gender differences in illness and longevity. How did the book evolve?
Bird: Pat and I had already been studying and talking about gender and health for a long time, and we discussed what was missing from the field and how we could contribute.
Rieker: We had been part of a seminar series that met at the Harvard School of Public Health, run by Sol Levine and Diana Chapman Walsh. It consisted of medical sociologists from the Boston area, as well as some MD PhDs and public health faculty. Chloe and I were invited to join, and we met there.

Work-Family Project |
A Network at the Intersection of Health, Work, and Family
by Vance K. Bauer |
|
The Work, Family & Health Network is providing scientific evidence about how workplace changes can have concrete effects on the health of workers and their families. Launched by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) in 2005, the Network has been conducting inter-related studies on how company policies and work life affects the health of their employees and family members. To do this, research teams from across the country worked closely with a wide array of businesses, such as long-term health care facilities, national retail chains and hotels.
