Sunday With...

One of the world’s preeminent philanthropists hit a milestone on Aug. 15.

A guiding force behind the country’s largest “There’s something about turning charity reveals what she’d like to say to the pope, 50,” says Melinda Gates, “where why we need more female leaders, and the ways you feel really free to be yourself.” her family unwinds on the weekend As cochair of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation—which she started with her husband 14 years ago to fight poverty and improve global health—Gates has dedicated herself to a mission close to her heart: empowering women in the developing world. Her BRINGING THE CATHOLIC goal is to provide CHURCH BACK TO ITS contraceptives to 120 SOCIAL JUSTICE ROOTS IS A MISSION million women by [THE POPE AND I] 2020 so they can SHARE. plan their families. In an interview with Catherine DiBenedetto, the Catholic mother of three talks about why birth control is so vital, what women in the U.S. should be fighting for, and how she celebrated the big 5-0.

or woman—address this issue is really important. But sure, would it be great for the U.S. to have a woman president? You bet.

Melinda Gates

When you were at Duke University, you were one of just a few female computer science students. Today, there is still a gender gap in the STEM fields.

How can we fix that?

We need to look at the middle school years, when girls start to lose their confidence. We need to help them realize they’re just as good as the boys in math and science.

Your daughter is a freshman in college. What was it like to send her off to school?

I feel like my job was to make sure she had her wings to fly when she felt ready to go. Watching her walk out the door tugs on my heart deeply. But I’m so pleased and happy for her.

to focus on family planning?

In my work, I’d been meeting with mothers about vaccines for years. If I stayed long enough, they’d ask me, “What about a shot for me?” They were asking about a contraceptive injection.

They explained that it was a matter of life and death. When a woman can space out the births of her kids, she can ensure they each get fed. Then if her kids are healthy, she can get them into school. We know from great research in Bangladesh that if you give women access to contracep-

tives, their families are better educated and wealthier over time.

Pope Francis has said the church is too focused on contraception. Have you talked to him about your work?

No, but I’d like to tell him I believe in his commitment to the poor. Bringing the church back to its social justice roots is a mission we share.

In the U.S., it’s been almost 100 years since women got the right to vote. What should we be fighting for today?

Women hold less than 20 percent of leadership roles in business, government, and nonprofits. We need to have more female leaders.

Would a woman president help us get there?

I think having a president—man

What’s a typical Sunday like for the Gates family?

Sunday night is when we all do something fun together. Whether that’s jumping on the trampoline in the backyard, or crowding in bed—two dogs, two adults, three kids [ages 12, 15, and 18]—to watch Modern Family.

What did you do for your 50th birthday?

My family went to Austria and my sister threw me a Sound of Music party, because it’s my favorite movie! We dressed up in costumes and there was lots and lots of singing.

In her office in Decatur, Ga., Ty Esham (above) makes adjustments to Anastasia’s Robohand, which was printed using the 3-D printer Makerbot Replicator 2 (left).

the pediatric age group. In most pediatric operations that require implants, we’re just using the smallest possible adult sizes and trying to make that work,” Bhora says. “One of the biggest advantages of 3-D printing is the ability to customize an organ for the patient.”

And Anastasia Rivas is benefitting from that customization. Her new hand is not as sophisticated as many traditional prostheses— she can close only all fingers at once, not a digit at a time. But the Robohand has other benefits. “If she outgrows it, we can print another,” Esham says. “If she breaks it, it’s easy to fix. There are no batteries to recharge. She can get her hand wet and dirty; you can’t do that with the expensive prosthetic hands, even though getting wet and dirty is what

hands do! 3-D printing gives you something lightweight, cheap, and functional.”

“The kids at school think my Robohand is really cool,” says Anastasia, who recently started fifth grade. “Now I can pick up my eyeglass case, and I can pick up a pencil, although that is still hard to do—I keep practicing.”

Anastasia also wants to practice using the hand to play baseball and basketball and to ride her bike. As far as Anastasia’s grandmother, Wanda Oliveras, is concerned, the sky is the limit, and she’s as bullish as anyone on the future of the technology.

“I will be counting on Ty as Anastasia grows, so that someday she will feel like she has two hands like anyone else,” Oliveras says.

“Our relationship with these machines is going to be lifelong.”

Bhora says, “where if you have a defect in an organ, you’ll just get a new one. Imagine: You’re 40 years old, and you can print the same organ you had when you were 21.

It’s like a car: You fix it a couple times, and then you realize it’s cost-effective to replace the part.”

“The process is the same no matter what we’re making,” says Anthony Atala, M.D., of the Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center’s Institute for Regenerative Medicine. “We take a very small piece of tissue from the patient’s organ—less than half the size of a postage stamp— then tease that tissue apart to its individual cell components.”

After a month or so spent growing those cells in a lab, they’re combined with a gel and fed into the printing cartridge. “We can then print the tissue layer by layer—imagine an ink-jet printer, but instead of ink, it’s printing cells. You lay down a layer of scaffold, then a layer of cells so that the 3-D shape is formed, like baking a layer cake.”

Because the cells are harvested from the patient’s own body, 3-D-printed implants would present far fewer risks in terms of transplant rejection.

They also open up a host of research and treatment possibilities beyond transplants. “We can create tissues and organs to test drugs for toxicity, for example,” Atala says. “Or we can think about what we can do for burn victims—we’d be able to scan the wound so that the cells could be placed where they need to be.”

Customization is also key.

are also becoming a mainstay on college campuses, such as Case Western Reserve University, home to an innovation center open to both students and members of the public called the think[box]. “It psyches the students up about things it’s hard to get them psyched about,” says James McGuffinCawley, Ph.D., chairman of materials science and engineering at Case Western. “Maybe they’re not excited about figuring out the glass transition temperature of a thermoplastic polymer. But if you’re having a difficult time trying to make something cool [with a 3-D printer], the faculty member who can explain it becomes someone you’d like to spend time with. It creates a motivated learner.”

Some even envision a future in which there’s a 3-D printer in every kitchen, printing our dinners and cabinet hinges, but most industry experts remain skeptical.

“Industrial printing is where it’s at,” says Terry Wohlers, president of Wohlers Associates, a Fort Collins, Co.–based consulting firm that specializes in the 3-D printing industry. “The desktop printers are good for schools and education, for prototypes and models. But if you’re talking about a $1,500 machine as opposed to a $150,000 machine, the results are vastly different. I don’t see a future where we’re all just printing what we need at home and manufacturing goes away.”

Instead, 3-D printing will more likely enhance and advance traditional manufacturing. Mark Deadrick, who built TurboRoo’s cart and is president of the San Diego– based industrial design firm 3dyn, first encountered the technology 20 years ago as an auto engineer in Detroit, where Chrysler was 3-D-

printing prototypes of engine blocks. Boeing has had tens of thousands of 3-D-printed parts in the air for years. And in what was seen as an industry bellwether, GE Aviation bought the additivemanufacturing company Morris Technologies in 2012 to make 3-D-printed parts for jet engines.

“I strongly believe this technology will help create tens of thousands of new companies and jobs in the U.S. and abroad,” Wohlers says.

“In fact, we’re seeing it happen.”

A MedicAl Revolution By far the most exciting ways in which 3-D printing is being used are in the medical field. Across the U.S., research teams have been making rapid progress in 3-D-printing a bewildering array of human body parts: ear cartilage and muscle tissue; skin, skulls, and bones; organs large and small.

“It’s nuts!” says Faiz Bhora, M.D., chief of thoracic surgery at Mount Sinai Roosevelt and St. Luke’s Hospitals, whose team is working toward a breakthrough: the first 3-D-printed tracheas to be successfully implanted in humans. “I think within five years, we are going to see parts of 3-Dprinted organs being implanted, as well as things like jawbones, tibia bones—things that are not very complicated and where failure is not usually catastrophic.

The next step up perhaps is tubes and cylinders—the airway, perhaps, the ureters, arteries, veins.

The third tier will be whole organs, heart valves, maybe parts of the kidneys, nerve cells.

A New Tool IN The ClAssroom—ANd The FACTory A former K–8 teacher in Seattle, Pettis wants to put a printer in every K–12 school in the U.S. “ When I was growing up,” he says, “there was an Apple IIe in the classroom, and if you were a nerd, you were taking it apart. That was probably the most important part of the education—it had nothing to do with what was on the test that day.”

Pettis thinks the MakerBot can be the Apple IIe of the 21st-century classroom, reinserting an element of hands-on tinkering into a test-obsessed curriculum.

“The students who get these printers start seeing the physical world differently, they start designing stuff, they’re activated as entrepreneurs, they start making and selling, say, iPhone cases with the school’s logo on them—and it all takes off from there,” says Pettis.

CAN VITAMIN C REALLY HELP WARD OFF A COLD? WHAT ABOUT ECHINACEA OR ZINC? Lots of people swear by taking vitamin C and echinacea when they feel they’re getting sick, but recent studies indicate there’s no strong evidence to support using either one. Zinc, on the other hand, is backed by science. “Research suggests that if you start taking zinc within 24 hours of the onset of symptoms, it may help reduce the duration of your cold,” says Upton.

Experts recommend zinc lozenges rather than nasal sprays, since the latter have been shown to interfere with your sense of smell.

Before You Y Pop That Pill …

• Always consult your doctor or pharmacist before taking any supplement.

• Make sure your doctor and pharmacist has a list of all remedies you’re taking, including prescription and over-the-counter drugs as well as all supplements.

That’s because certain supplements can interact with medications, causing dangerous side effects or lessening the drug’s effectiveness.

• Follow all directions on supplement labels, taking special care not to exceed the maximum recommended dose.

SHOULD I TRY MELATONIN OR VALERIAN TO HELP ME SLEEP BETTER?

I’VE HEARD OLDER PEOPLE SHOULD TAKE VITAMIN B12. WHY? If you’re over 50, it’s smart to check B12 levels because your body absorbs about 10 to 30 percent less of it than it did when you were younger, says Zied. The reason: Stomach acid plays an important role in B12 absorption, and our guts produce less acid as we

age. “Those with GI problems like Crohn’s or celiac disease or who avoid meat and dairy [the biggest dietary sources of B12] are also at increased risk for deficiency,” she says. Very low blood levels of B12 can cause neurological symptoms like tingling and numbness in your extremities, and cognitive changes such as memory loss.

In many places, getting enough nutrients means the difference between thriving and merely surviving.

A 2007 review of studies by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine revealed that melatonin may help alleviate circadian rhythm disorders like sleeplessness due to shift work or jet lag, as well as a condition known as delayed sleep phase disorder, where you can’t fall asleep before two or three in the morning and then can’t wake up until late morning. Studies show that with delayed sleep disorder, taking melatonin in the afternoon or early evening can help reset internal clocks. The research is far less promising for valerian, however. A 2007 review of 37 studies found that valerian was safe but no more effective than a placebo for sleep problems.

The herbal remedy St. John’s Wort is also thought to help relieve symptoms, but recent studies have had mixed results. If you want to give St. John’s Wort a try, see your doctor first.

WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN RECOMMENDED DIETARY ALLOWANCE (RDA) AND DAILY VALUE (DV)?

RDAs are the amounts of vitamins or nutrients that healthy people should get each day. The suggested intakes are developed by the Institute of Medicine and vary by age, gender, and whether a woman is pregnant or breastfeeding. DVs, which are set by the FDA, are listed on food and supplement labels. They tell you how much of a vitamin or nutrient one serving provides in the context of a daily diet. Unlike RDAs, there is just DV for each nutrient, based on all people age 4 or older. DVs are listed as a percentage to help consumers compare products. “If a supplement provides 20 or 30 percent of a nutrient per serving, you know it’s a high source compared to one that offers 5 percent or less,” says Zied.

Safe Storage

3 rules to follow 1

Move them out of the cabinet.

Many people store supplements in kitchen or bathroom cabinets. But the moist environment in these rooms can decrease pills’ shelf life and quality.

The same goes for a checked suitcase when you’re traveling.

2

Don’t mix pills.

After a few days, storing pills together can cause them to degrade.

3

Replace when needed.

Don’t take pills after the expiration date, and toss vitamins if they develop brown spots—it means they’ve lost their nutritional value.

illustrations: Dale eDwin anD Murray

Americans spend billions on dietary supplements every year—but it’s easy to get confused about which are most effective and how to take them safely.

Here’s an A to zinc guide to help you decide.

No matter where you live in the U.S., from November through March it’s nearly impossible to produce sufficient vitamin D from the amount of sunlight your skin is exposed to. And recent studies suggest that low levels of this vitamin may increase your risk for diabetes, high blood pressure, and certain forms of cancer, among other serious conditions. So it’s a good idea to take a supplement during these months, says Julie Upton, R.D., cofounder of Appetite for Health.

While the Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) for vitamin D is 600 IU per day for adults (and 800 IU if you’re over 70), many experts believe that to get the full health benefits of vitamin D, you need 1,000 to 2,000 IU a day. (The safe upper limit for adults is 4,000 IU per day.)

could takIng Iron supplements gIve me more energy even If I’m not anemIc?

“Iron supplements may help if you have less-than-optimal blood levels of iron, even if they’re not low enough to classify you as anemic,” says Upton. But she adds that low energy often has more to do with caloric intake, sleep patterns, and the quality of the foods in your diet. Translation: Those chocolate chip cookies may make for a tasty snack, but the resulting blood sugar crash will leave you feeling drained.

America’s Favorite Coin Source

A sweet aroma is always waf ting around the MakerBot store in New York’s SoHo neighborhood. The scent emanates from the humming printers themselves, which use not ink but spools of polylactic acid (PLA) filament, a bioplastic derived from corn. “We’ll have classes here on a Saturday morning with machines running, and people will say, ‘It smells like waffles,’ ” says Jenifer Howard, MakerBot’s PR director.

What exactly are those syrupscented machines doing? Whether it’s happening at the industrial level, in a medical lab, or on a desktop, 3-D printing follows the same process. It starts with a blueprint created in a 3-D digital modeling program. Taking instructions from those digital files, the 3-D printer builds the object by laying down one superthin layer at a time of the material at hand, which could be anything from metal to plastic, ceramics to food purees to human cells. With MakerBot’s desktop 3-D printers, the PLA filament is spooled like cable in the back of the machine and fed into the

machine’s extruder, which heats up the material to make it pliable and passes it through a tiny hole to “draw” the object, layer by layer, which can take anywhere from a few hours to a couple of days.

Three-dimensional printing originated in the mid-1980s with Charles Hull, inventor of a layerby-layer manufacturing process he called stereolithography, which could be used for rapid prototyping and for small-batch production of specialized parts. Since then, the technology has been a mainstay of fields such as aerospace and automotive engineering, but it wasn’t until MakerBot arrived on the scene in 2009 that the notion of personal 3-D printing gained a foothold, along with the emergence of Thingiverse and, just this past summer, the opening of Amazon’s 3-D printing store.

In fact, MakerBot has become one of the most important players in the field, thanks to its relatively low-cost desktop printers (Ty Esham’s version costs under $2,000, compared to industrial models that can run $100,000 or more) and the passion of MakerBot’s CEO and cofounder, Bre Pettis.

perfected by Richard Van As, a South ­African carpenter who lost four fingers in a circular saw accident. Ty Esham, a hand therapist in Decatur, Ga., who studied under Van As, is the crafter of Anastasia’s ­R obohand, and she can ­cheaply produce most of its plastic components—the digits, the block of knuckles, the wrist hinge—with her desktop 3-D printer, the MakerBot Replicator 2.

Though the technology ­behind 3-D printing has been around since the 1980s, only in the past couple of years has it become possible to r­ e-create more commonly found objects of everyday life. The first 3-D-printed book jacket (for Chang-rae Lee’s best seller On Such a Full Sea) could be found on bookshelves, and 3-Dprinted ­custom toys, jewelry, or iPhone cases can be purchased online. There’s now even a DIY aspect of 3-D printing: Thousands of digital designs are available on ­T hingiverse.com, where ­a nyone can download the blueprint to print out objects from chess pieces to napkin rings to World of Warcraft characters.

The technology has the ­potential to alter—even revolutionize—dozens of industries, from small-batch manufacturing to aerospace engineering, from prosthetics to reconstructive surgery and beyond. Within a decade, ­surgeons might even use 3-D printing to build organs for transplants and to harvest new nerve cells.

Everything That’s Fit to

How 3-D printing is transforming everything from medicine to manufacturing, and creating a new industrial revolution

Written by Jessica Winter

Like a lot of kids her age, 10-year-old Anastasia Rivas has energy to burn, playing softball and cheerleading and wrestling with her little brother at home in North Bergen, N.J. And unlike a lot of her peers, she also likes to help out around the house—carrying the groceries in after a supermarket trip, for instance. All those activities and much more have recently become a lot easier, because Anastasia now has a left hand—albeit one made Anastasia was born with amniotic out of plastic, elastic cords, and stainless-steel hardware. band syndrome, in which strands of amniotic membrane get attached to and tangled up with the fetus; the condition leads to congenital abnormalities. In Anastasia’s case, her left arm ends in a tiny, partial palm and buttonlike buds of fingers. A standard prosthesis could run upward of $60,000, and a fast-growing kid like her could outgrow it every six to eight months, creating astronomical expenses. As a result, “traditional prostheses weren’t an avenue that we considered for Anastasia at this stage of her life,” says Wanda Oliveras, Anastasia’s grandmother. But then Oliveras saw a story on her Facebook news feed about a prosthesis that can be cheaply produced and repaired, called a Robohand. “We couldn’t contain our excitement,” says Oliveras.

“We thought we could finally get a prosthetic device that could allow Anastasia to use fingers to pick up and grab things.” Anastasia’s new hand (she requested it in bright blue, in homage to her stepfather’s favorite football team, the New York Giants) ran just $2,000, and it can be replaced at a fraction of that cost. How is this possible? Because Anastasia’s hand is created with a 3-D printer, which can build a three-dimensional object by laying down ultrathin layers of material, one at a time. Her hand is one of about 200 such prostheses that have been printed using a design

Ask Marilyn

By Marilyn vos Savant

Because you never stop trying to keep them safe.

My mother says it’s dangerous to use earphones while driving because you can’t hear important sounds from outside the car, such as horns or sirens. i argue it’s the same as turning on your car radio loudly. Who is right? —J.S., Port Washington, N.Y.

Mom is right. Earphones make the music primary in your auditory attention.

By contrast, a loud radio causes interference with outside sounds. The latter isn’t safe either, but it’s better. And if you really believe they’re the same, you wouldn’t argue for earphones, would you? Obviously, you do think they’re different! Anyway, unrelated sensorial input that occupies part of your auditory or visual attention reduces your ability to handle even ordinary driving, much less respond quickly to changing conditions.

Q

Q: Did Cary Elwes and Mandy Patinkin use stunt doubles in The Princess Bride’s fencing scene?

—Tim H., Los Angeles A: They didn’t! To make the amazingly ambidextrous duel believable, director Rob Reiner asked the actors to learn fencing. “I trained for two months!”

Elwes says. And they even mastered each other’s moves. “I had to learn right- and left-handed for my part, and right- and left-handed for Mandy’s.”

A: “I’d probably be a party planner or a caterer,” McBride, 48, says. With her new cookbook, Around the Table, the country singer is acting on her second passion. “When I’m off the road, I like to stay home and cook,” she adds. Her go-to dish for her family is Italian (and easy!): “If you have a box of pasta, tomatoes, garlic, onion, and basil, you have a meal!”

Cristela Alonzo

Q: What can you tell me about the star of ABC’s Cristela? —Erin H., Virginia Beach A: Before she cracked jokes on Last Comic Standing or starred in a self-titled sitcom, Cristela Alonzo, 35, was raised in an abandoned diner. “I think if my mom hadn’t worked so much, she probably would’ve squashed my dream earlier,” she says. “I always thought growing up poor, you didn’t have a lot of opportunities like everybody else, so I always felt I had to try harder to catch up to everyone.”

The Brady home

Q: If the Brady Bunch house went on the market today, how much would it sell for? —Brad D., Colorado Springs A: The famed home from the beloved sitcom was put on the market for $2 million in 2008, with a mortgage of almost $10,000 per month. That’s a lot of cash for a family of eight (with a live-in nanny to boot!). Mike Brady’s architect salary of $75,000 wouldn’t come close to paying for the split-level, which is located along the Los Angeles River in the San Fernando Valley.
