Yesterday I got the fortunate opportunity to volunteer at a COVID-19 vaccine administration site. Board of health nurses and clinical volunteers stood in the cold and gave HUNDREDS of vaccines through drive-thru car windows. The process is working, vaccines are coming! 🩹🥳

Shocking new stats from CDC showing that in 2019 the death rate by suicide was the same as by car accidents for young adults ages 15-24. We need better access to mental healthcare and policies to address the root causes now! cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/7…

Did you know that LGBT people have higher rates of many serious health conditions such as cancer, asthma, and stroke? Social inequities and health outcomes are linked. cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/7…

"US health disadvantage" means Americans have shorter life expectancy, are sicker, and spend more on healthcare than residents of other wealthy nations. This is not the job of businesses to fix. A national strategy is the ONLY way to reach everyone equally hhs.gov/sites/default/…

Can we normalize talking about how there’s two classes of people in STEM 1) Those who had a parent or close relative with a STEM degree and 2) Those that did not That literally makes so much of a difference

Last week at work I was weighing out sugar, yesterday I weighed baking soda, today it was skim milk powder. Do I work in a kitchen or a lab?!

Thank you @Deirdre_Mask for the engaging Q&A today with CDC about your book on street addresses. My partner works in addressing for 9-1-1, but I never realized all the additional societal implications. From now on, whenever I enter my address on a form I will feel "glamorous"!

40 years ago today we got the first whispers of another pandemic that would shake the world (and the LGBTQ community)... We have come a long way, but as CDC Director says, there is still work to be done! #HIVat40 #PrideMonth2021 🏳️‍🌈

They have trained dogs to sniff COVID-19. A great new low-cost screening method! nature.com/articles/s4200…

The Sabra Klein Lab is rocking #ASV2021. @JHSPHBMB @LittleBoyBecca is giving a fantastic talk in the #vaccine session. Spoiler alert...females have greater antibody responses to influenza vaccines than males. #SABV

Successful first day at my new real-world job! Postdoc is finished and it feels good to finally be an "employee" rather than a "trainee". Looking forward to all that is to come! #GraduateTwitter #AcademicChatter

This is my new job! The scientific articles featured were written by my team 🤩 Look at epidemiology linking pro sports to virology ~~ #epitwitter #NBA wsj.com/video/series/s…

Today, I had the opportunity to address the incoming CDC Epidemic Intelligence Service (EIS) officers and Laboratory Leadership Service (LLS) fellows. I shared my journey into public health and outlined our road ahead in building the future of public health together.

CDC's Epidemic Intelligence Service & Laboratory Leadership Service programs are essential to building the next generation of #PublicHealth leaders. On today’s #DirectorDebrief, I am honored to introduce a few of our EIS & LLS disease detectives.

Integrating lab & epi is key to advancing public health. CDC's 2yr molecular epidemiology fellowship is open to laboratory scientists (PhD or MS) w/ experience analyzing genomic data or bioinformatics who want to apply their skills to epi. Apply by 4/1 cdc.gov/molecular-epid…
