Better Blocker



The Oregon researchers found compelling evidence that taking a beta blocker after having had a heart attack lowers the chances of a repeat heart attack or an early death. These drugs also increase the chances of living longer and better with heart failure. The reviewers found that different beta blockers work better for different conditions. The Better Block Foundation works to change the world block by block by: Implementing traditional Better Blocks, which are 90-120 day community engagement projects that end with transformation of a space chosen by and designed with the community.

Indie is Aral Balkan and Laura Kalbag, two European designers who build things.
