In the SpotlightRead in-depth coverage of Northwestern work and research. |  From CBS News A new wearable device measures how much milk a baby consumes during breastfeeding by detecting tissue changes and sending data via Bluetooth. This device was developed by McCormick’s John Rogers and co-led by Feinberg’s Drs. Daniel Robinson, Craig Garfield and Jennifer Wicks to improve infant nutrition monitoring and reduce family stress. Wicks explains how this real-time tracking supports parents and preemies by offering accurate, stress-reducing insights during feeding. |  From CNN President Donald Trump’s administration’s tariffs, including a 10% universal tariff and higher 30% tariffs on Chinese goods, have forced many companies to raise prices or cut products to manage increased import costs. Kellogg’s Alexander Chernev explains how pricing strategies vary based on product demand and customer perception. |  From WBEZ A new study led by Feinberg’s Dr. Nilay Shah, which followed over 1,000 children for two decades, found that early childhood food insecurity without Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Programs (SNAP) participation is linked to worse heart health by age 22. Shah tells WBEZ that early childhood food insecurity, especially without SNAP, may harm young adults’ heart health and highlights the need to protect SNAP. |
