STEP UP THE SCREENING: Steven Warren's opinion piece supporting increased newborn screening appeared in the Wichita Eagle and Lawrence Journal-World. The Kansas Legislature is considering legislation increasing screening for the 29 treatable disorders. Kansas currently screens for only four disorders putting it near the bottom of the states.

The bill is expected to go to the House floor the week of March 26. Warren is director of the Bureau of Child Research at KU.
