For a report for Nat Geo on how technology is changing travel, I'd love to get some stats and quotes that touches on the following: - Virtual reality and how it is being used, for instance with virtual hotel tours - Augmented reality and how it is being used on the ground. - Smart devices, such as bag-tracking tools, inc suitcases with integrated trackers - Biometric identification and how this is speeding up airport lines - New kinds of aircraft, vehicles for short trips like flying taxis/driverless taxis - New kinds of hotels, such as net-zero hotels - Developments in translation – including Apple AirPods, but also new apps etc - Wearables such as smart watches and smart glasses that allow easier navigation - Developments in conservation – is AI being used in this regard? - Accessible travel and the technology that is going to make it easier In terms of quotes, I'm looking for experts only for this and they need to talk about how it's changing travel for the better but also whether there are any downsides to consider. It's for print so no link is provided.

Painful In-Office Gynecologic Procedures

Published on: 9/24/2025

I'm looking for real women (not experts) who can share their experiences with painful or uncomfortable in-office gynecologic procedures such as insertion of an IUD, a colposcopy, or an endometrial biopsy. I'd like to hear about how the procedure felt and how it affected you afterwards, whether the gyn accurately described what you were likely to feel, and whether any pain meds were offered. Also, how did this experience affect how you advocated for yourself and approached gynecologic care in the future? Must be willing to use your real name, age, location, and other identifying characteristics.
