Can you imagine teaching critical anything at Columbia and then staying silent when your university criminalizes your students for acting on it?

those of us who are academic workers on campus, whether faculty or staff, must insist on the protection of our students right to protest. protection of protest is to protect academic freedom and the university itself. it is to defend what semblance of a democracy we have.

Hey good people, I'm back into the consulting/public speaking game! Wanting to put this Master Certified Health Education Specialist credential to more use! If you know anyone needing support around health education, public health program planning, etc, inbox me! Share please!

The semester is wrapping up, but I have a new project to keep me busy this summer! Can’t wait to dig into the CDC National Violent Death Reporting System to understand more about the suicide deaths of healthcare workers ⤵️

People deserve not to have to live like this, rather than having their pain and suffering being glorified as 'strength' & 'resilience'. Rather than celebrating the impact of trauma, we should be seeking to build a society that doesn't require people to survive this amount of pain

FOUR times in the past year, I've been on NIH grants that docked 'Investigators' points due to reviewers claiming that an earlier-career, woman PI lacks expertise in her specific domain of world-class expertise.

As we round out #BlackMaternalHealthWeek ,
I want to remind us all of a role our society plays in maternal deaths. We teach people to go to work/school and push through their pain. We teach young kids to ignore their bodies signals and prioritize productivity over health.

Almost a quarter of people who lost Medicaid coverage during unwinding are still uninsured, a new KFF survey shows. More than 20M people have been dropped so far. apnews.com/article/b00dfb…

Ah, you’re preparing kids for the real world...

So, you’re...
...allowing retakes.
...extending deadlines.
...allowing resources on tests.
...letting them pursue their passions.
...giving them evenings/weekends off.

Thank you. It’s important to prepare them for the world.

In a world where you can be anything, be kind. Anon.
