His studies also uncover the correlation between hot days and increased gun violence, particularly in Boston. ⬇️ The Boston Globe Sean Cotter spr.ly/6019PoOXb

So we need to understand how to interrupt those cycles.” – Jonathan Jay, DrPH, JD, Boston University School of Public Health. shorturl.at/91DWy #GunViolencePrevention #PublicHealth
