Women's health issues often center around pregnancy and fertility, but an interview snippet in Forbes suggests the topic of menopause deserves more attention. Forbes Books author Alyssa Rapp talked to Booth business school student Uma Veerappan about the thesis she's worked on with another Booth alum on the Menopause Care Market. Veerappan says women's health is getting more investor attention, but menopausal women want better care and don't have many options. She suggests it's an exciting time for entrepreneurs to jump on this market opportunity.

Today, the Central Bank of Iran will conduct a pilot launch of a central bank digital currency (CBDC). For several years, the so-called "crypto-rial" has been in the works, with the goal of "helping improve financial inclusion and functioning as a powerful tool for the CBI to compete with other stable coins globally." The crypto rial has also been viewed as a means of combating Iran's widespread corruption. The CBDC will run on the Borna platform, which was built with Hyperledger Fabric, an open-source distributed ledger technology platform developed by IBM. Because the platform is authorized, the Central Bank will choose which banks will participate.

Gun sales in the United States dropped dramatically in January following a pandemic-driven surge. According to Small Arms Analytics & Forecasting, sales of firearms fell 42.6% last month but were still in line with pre-pandemic levels.

It’s the second-busiest year for gun sales since the FBI began publishing background check data in the late 1990s. A record 22.8 million guns were sold back in 2020.
