Saving the lives of Black mothers
Black women are three times more likely to die from complications related to childbirth than white women. In this episode, we explore the interconnected problems driving this statistic — and consider solutions. Our guests are Karen Scott and Monica McLemore, associate professors at the University of California, San Francisco, and experts in Black women’s reproductive healthcare.
Second Opinion is produced by L.A. Times Studios in conjunction with the L.A. Times newsroom. This episode is moderated by Times White House reporter Eli Stokols.

Why the Dodgers are haunted by Chavez Ravine ghosts | Fernandomania @ 40 Ep. 3
(English and Spanish subtitles available)
Episode 3 of Fernandomania @ 40 explores the forming of the perfect storm that made Fernandomania possible. More than 1,800 families in the Chavez Ravine communities – La Loma, Palo Verde and Bishop -- were asked to leave their homes starting in 1950, because the City of Los Angeles believed the land could be better utilized for build public housing. Some sold their property, others were forced d out due to draconian eminent domain laws.
In the end, the public housing idea was a political non-starter, but not long after the City of Los Angeles designated the land for public use, it was used as the bait to lure the Dodgers away from Brooklyn in 1958 – leaving large swaths of displaced Angelenos resentful of the Dodgers for occupying the land at Chavez Ravine. For many, those feelings of resentment lingered, until Fernando Valenzula’s rookie season in 1981.

Eli Broad, billionaire who poured wealth into reshaping L.A., dies at 87
Eli Broad, billionaire who poured wealth into reshaping L.A., dies at 87.
Eli Broad made his billions building homes, and then he used that wealth — and the considerable collection of world-class modern art he assembled with his wife — to shape the city around him. Dogged, determined and often unyielding, he helped push and prod majestic institutions such as Walt Disney Concert Hall and the Museum of Contemporary Art into existence. And then, that done, he created his own namesake museum in the heart of Los Angeles. With a fortune estimated by Forbes at $6.9 billion, the New York native who made California his home more than 50 years ago flourished in the home construction and insurance industries before directing his attention and fortune toward an array of ambitious civic projects, often setting the agenda for what was to come in L.A. Active and still looking ahead until late in life, Broad died Friday afternoon at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Suzi Emmerling, a spokesperson for the Eli and Edythe Broad Foundation, said in a statement. A cause of death was not given.

Asked and answered: How do we know the vaccines will work against virus variants?
Booster shots may be needed in the future.
How do we know the vaccines will work against new variants of the coronavirus? The experts say that we may eventually need booster shots to combat some variants.
Millions of Americans have been vaccinated against COVID-19. But millions more aren’t eligible yet or haven’t been able to get an appointment — or still aren’t sure whether they want to get the vaccine at all.
In a recent survey conducted by CBS News and public polling company YouGov, 22% of Americans said they had already received at least one dose. Another 33% said they planned to take the vaccine once it was available to them, and another 22% said maybe.
We traveled around Southern California — Whittier Boulevard, Echo Park, Huntington Beach, Santa Monica, Baldwin Hills and Hollywood — to ask people whether they would take the vaccine when it was offered to them, and if not, why.
We also asked them for their questions. Then we posed their questions to two experts: Dr. Paula Cannon, a virology professor at the USC Keck School of Medicine; and Dr. Heather Irobunda, an obstetrician and gynecologist who has addressed vaccine hesitancy with patients and her followers on TikTok (@drheatherirobunda). You’ll also see Jessica Roy, an assistant editor on The Times’ Utility Journalism Team, and Albert Brave Tiger Lee, a staff videographer. Here, along with people’s questions, is what the experts had to say.
We ended up finding a wide range of answers and many questions about the vaccine. See answers to their questions at https://www.latimes.com/science/story/2021-03-25/we-asked-southern-californians-for-their-questions-about-vaccines-and-we-got-experts-to-answer?fbclid=IwAR2LwzF_fti-_vFTQ-Ph64PiSmF1IR3w8SN6EzrnGsCOm_G48o0orE6byoc

Asked and answered: Do some vaccines have fewer side effects? What about long-term effects?
Side effects like a fever or aches are a sign that your body is building up its defenses to fight the coronavirus, experts say.

Forced Labor on the High Seas
In this episode of Second Opinion, we speak with veteran investigative reporter Ian Urbina about his work uncovering exploitation in the maritime industry. Urbina is the director of the nonprofit news organization Outlaw Ocean Project.
The pandemic magnified the plight of millions of seafarers working on contain ships and fishing vessels worldwide. Little has been done to reign in corruption and exploitation occurring on the high seas. iInvestigative reporter Ian Urbina is exploring innovative ways to inform the public about the humanitarian and environmental crises happening, often with impunity.
Second Opinion is produced by L.A. Times Studios in conjunction with the L.A. Times newsroom. Its host is Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong, the executive chairman of the Los Angeles Times. The episode is moderated by Times White House reporter Eli Stokols. Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong is a surgeon and scientist who has spent his career studying the human immune system to fight cancer and infectious disease. Last year, Soon-Shiong’s company, ImmunityBio, received permission from the Food and Drug Administration to begin Phase 1 trials of its COVID-19 vaccine candidate. He has also received approval to begin trials in South Africa, where he will explore the potential of his T cell vaccine to prevent infection from mutated virus strains of the coronavirus.
