This paper offers a new explanation for the alarming trend in midlife mortality observed in the United States since 2000, when death rates among working-age Americans stalled after decades of unprecedented progress. The explanation hinges on a striking parallel with a pattern that emerged just before 1950, in which death rates among children also stalled, ending a period of similarly historic gains. We will show that sustained reductions in both midlife and early-life mortality rates ceased abruptly with the same birth cohort.

Come join us in the fields to lose track of time, be outdoors, practice embodied work, and experience profound community with plants, soil, and humans! Our students, volunteers, and staff consistently say that their most memorable memories at DCF are the conversations they shared over a wheelbarrow of mulch or while tackling weeds in a bed of carrots together. Absolutely no farming experience is necessary, and there is no Duke affiliation required. We have tasks for most ages and abilities.
