I’d like everyone to meet Walter Elias Westie, my new fur son. It’s been too long since my dear Bunny passed away so we welcomed this little one into our family. Isn’t he the cutest? #westiesoftwitter

I do a mood scale before every class I teach, and this week I am using my Ron Burgundy mood scale. Yes, you can use it. #jazzflute #StayClassy Academic Chatter™ @sardonicprof

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

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!

Hot #Barbie Mood Scale made by yours truly dropping in for your next class, meeting, or presentation! Want the high res file? Drop me a comment! #AcademicTwitter

I was a student in my second year of my MPH when the 9/11 attacks occurred and it profoundly changed who I am today. How I think, how I teach, and what I am willing to put up with. I wrote my master’s thesis on terrorism. My eyes are very wide open. Are yours? Probably not.

Waffle knit should be outlawed. All you have to do is touch it with your fingernails and it looks like your cat made a nest.

I’m giving a presentation about how to present effectively, especially when presenting data. What are your TIPS? Please drop them below. Thanks! 👇👇👇

Academia is showing up for work on a Monday and you are only one of two faculty there at 10:30am.

My students made a point of telling me today that my class is a favorite and they look forward to it. My professor heart is full. Tufts Public Health students are the BEST. ❤️❤️❤️ #AcademicChatter

Stop giving your time away to people who don’t respect you or honor you. At all. Like ever. LET. THEM. FAIL. #AcademicTwitter

Happy National Headwrap Day! I am wearing my sweater headwrap from Garlands of Grace. Warm AND modest. ❤️ #headwrap

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

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.

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!

Holding a special place in my heart for my Israeli and Jewish colleagues and friends today. I pray for your continued healing, the return of the hostages, and an end to war. #BringThemHome

Dr. Jay Bhattacharya took the time to mentor and support me when so many others would not. It’s easy to be outspoken when everyone agrees with you. It’s not easy to speak under threat of censorship and cancellation. Congratulations Jay! You deserve this. You have my support.

I picked up this wonderful senior dog this weekend and helped move him to a foster home. He’s 12 and has a wonderful life ahead of him. This is my 17th year rescuing dogs and it never gets old.
