Steve Williams: I used to not understand this data on black women mortality during childbirth and post birth. Black women are actually three times more likely to die from a pregnancy-related cause than white women, he says. He asks how do people get treated when they aren't Dr. Williams? And when they don't have a degree to bring to the table, why aren't they treated the same way with regards to their birth experience?
Talithia Williams thinks you should rigorously track your body's data. She and Steve Levitt trade birth stories and bemoan the state of STEM education.
