1a. What are some reasons behind the relatively high infant mortality rate in the US compared to other wealthy countries? List 3 and explain how they impact infant mortality.

1b. Now imagine that the Biden administration has decided to make reducing infant mortality a top priority. Pick 2 of your causes from Q1a and suggest, for each, an action the government could take toward reducing its impact (laws, regulations, initiatives, new departments, media/education campaigns, etc.). Make sure to explain clearly how your intervention would work to reduce infant mortality and include relevant facts you've learned from this week's materials. Your responses will be graded mostly on whether you've included relevant course material.

2a. What "good news" did I provide about New Jersey's infant mortality rate?

2b. What is this bad news?

3. As you learned from this week's videos, our genes don't operate in a vacuum - your environments and experiences affect when, if, and how your genes are expressed. Amazingly, we now know that the environments and experiences of YOUR ANCESTORS can have an effect on how YOUR genes work! In other words, epigenetic effects can be cross-generational This also means, of course, that the effects of your life experiences might not end with you. Does this affect how you think about the choices you are making in your life, now, as a young adult (or the choices you made when you were a young adult)?

Explain your reasoning/feelings.
