Abramowitz went on to say that the
"ongoing national shortages of therapies for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder also remain
a serious challenge for clinicians and patients.".
A separate ASHP report said that "the most severe and persistent shortages are driven by economic factors that undermine investment in manufacturing capacity, manufacturing quality and supply chain reliability.".

to strongly advocate on behalf of our
members for solutions that work, ASHP CEO Paul Abramowitz, via statement.

view the eclipse with a pinhole projector

Cut a 1- to 2-inch square out of
the center of a piece of plain
white paper or white cardboard.
Cover the square you just cut out by taping
a piece of aluminum foil over the hole. .
Next, use a pin or thumbtack to
poke a hole in the aluminum foil.
A second piece of paper or cardboard

Adjust the distance between your projector
and the screen to make the image of
the eclipse appear larger or smaller.
