News: I have been named Concentration Leader for Health Services, Management, and Policy Tufts Public Health and also the faculty lead for the PA/MPH dual degree. I am working my tail off to make our MPH what our students need to achieve their goals. Best students in the business!

My beautiful daughter is turning 6 tomorrow. Her grandparents and aunt (my sister) haven’t spoken to me or her since July 2022. If anyone who follows me is an estranged adult child, I SEE YOU. Do not be ashamed. Ever.

Did you know you can buy kits on Amazon to set up the Mentos soda experiment if you are too lazy to do it yourself? You’re welcome! #stem #giftidea a.co/d/6VpAf5W

Today I am being harassed on another platform by another professor for expressing an opinion this prof didn’t like. They looked up my employer even and criticized my university for employing me. How 2020 of them!

Walter says hello to everyone tonight, especially those who need his level of cuteness which is off the charts. 🐾🐾🐾
