How Pfizer Makes Its Covid-19 Vaccine (Published 2021)
Inside this facility in Chesterfield, Missouri, trillions of bacteria are producing tiny loops of DNA containing coronavirus genes — the raw material for the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine. It’s the start of a complex manufacturing and testing process that takes 60 days and involves Pfizer facilities in three states. The result will be millions of doses of the vaccine, frozen and ready to ship. STEP 1 Pu
たった１日休業したオーナーへのセブン－イレブンの仕打ち (Published 2020)
東大阪－おにぎりもドリンクも売り切れ。松本実敏オーナーが、早く売り切るために商品に値段をつけた結果、店内のほとんどの棚は空っぽになった。しかし、セブン－イレブンとの長い争いが、有利な結果に出た場合に備え、タバコとアルコール飲料のいくらかは残っている。 セブン－イレブンチェーンの親会社、セブン＆アイ・ホールディングスは、松本さんが元旦に休業すると決断した後、先週の時点でフランチャイズ契約を解除し、商品の出荷を停止した。 これが、松本さんと日本でもっとも知名度の高い企業の間に起きている、コンビ二業界の厳しい労働条件をめぐる闘いの現状だ。 松本さんは、その後も営業を続けるが、細々とだ。ATMの画面は「取り扱い中止」と表示している。２名の従業員は、店が閉店したらすぐに次の仕事に就く準備ができており、７名のアルバイトスタッフは出社しない。 それでも、松本さんはできる限り営業しようとしている。

日本のワーキングマザー 妻の過大な負担・夫の過少な支援 (Published 2019)
東京 — ニシマサヨシコさんの書類作業は、いくらやっても終らない。 彼女は、毎日こと細かに記録をつけなければならず、それ以外にも注意深くチェックし、押印しなくてはならない書類をたくさん抱えている。日々の会話、行動、食事の内容までもすべて記録するのだ。 これらの作業のうち、マーケティングのプロである彼女の仕事のためのものはひとつもない。すべて、子供たちの保育園に必要な書類で、彼女が出社前に片付けるものなのだ。 38歳のニシマサさんは、日本のほかの多くのワーキングマザーと同様に、仕事とは無関係の、しかし骨の折れる事務的作業を山ほど抱えている。このような作業は、彼女の働く機会を制限している。今、日本は、彼女のような女性にもっと働いてもらう必要があると、唱えているのにも関わらず、だ。 安倍晋三首相は、「ウィメノミクス」というキャッチフレーズの女性活躍推進戦略を提唱し、停滞する日本経済を活性化させ
Apple Computers Used to Be Built in the U.S. It Was a Mess. (Published 2018)
In 1988, when Jean-Louis Gassée took a close look at Apple’s “highly automated” Macintosh factory in Fremont, Calif., what he saw was not pretty.

When he first s

Opinion | This Is Why Uma Thurman Is Angry (Published 2018)
Yes, Uma Thurman is mad. She has been raped. She has been sexually assaulted. She has been mangled in hot steel. She has been betrayed and gaslighted by those she trusted. And we’re not talking about her role as the blood-spattered bride in “Kill Bill.” We’re talking about a world that is just as cutthroat, amoral, vindictive and misogynistic as any Quentin Tarantino hellscape. We’re talking about

Opinion | These Campus Inquisitions Must Stop (Published 2017)
Racism pervades our country. Students who have roiled college campuses from coast to coast have that exactly right. But we’re never going to make the progress that we need to if they hurl the word “racist” as reflexively and indiscriminately as some of them do, in a frenzy of righteousness aimed at gagging speakers and strangling debate. That’s a mechanism for shaming, not a strategy for change. I

Opinion | Why Are These CEOs Still Standing With Trump on Climate? (Published 2017)
Many prominent business executives have advocated for policies to address climate change.
