Lopoo Piece on Lack of Family Planning Support for Egg Freezing Published in The Hill
“If a woman wants assistance in planning the timing of her childbearing, it is not available.

Taylor Speaks With War & Politics 24 About the Russia-Ukraine War
“I think Putin's strategy is unlikely to work and unlikely to change the basic trajectory of the war, which is still that his strategic objectives that he set out at the very beginning of the invasion, which is basically to control Ukraine will not be achieved.
