BREAKING NEWS: Study by National Geographic, New York Times best-selling author
Dan Buettner and Gallup reveal Boulder, Colorado as happiest place in the U.S., as part of list
of 25 Happiest Cities in United States.
• HAPPIEST PLACES IN WORLD: Dan Buettner explains why next to genetics, geography
is the biggest determinant of happiness and discusses factors in the world’s happiest places
(Denmark, Costa Rica and Singapore) that contribute to happy populations
• The National Geographic/Blue Zones® Index was specifically developed to measure a
population’s happiness based on 15 metrics including walkability, access to nature and
vacation time.
Why Vaccines Matter
• A LIFE OR DEATH SITUATION: While anti-vaccination advocates in developed countries argue against inoculation, lack of vaccination
availability in poorer nations can be a death sentence.
• EXPENSIVE CHALLENGES: Bangladesh and other countries face challenges like multiple strains of diseases, manufacturing and delivery
of vaccines to remote areas.
• BUSINESS VERSUS HUMANITARIAN INTERESTS: While poorer countries are in greater need of vaccines, the surest economic return to
vaccine manufacturers doesn’t come from meeting the most critical need.
