I've admired poet and literature professor Greg Wrenn since we were high school theater nerds in NE FL back in the late '90s 😂What a delight to interview him about Mothership, his lyrical memoir about nature and psychedelic healing, for New Books Network 📚

Had a great discussion with Claire D. Clark about my new book Catastrophe Ethics for New Books Network 📚! If you want a sneak peek at the book, this is a great intro to the topic.

A HUGE piece of art (charcoal and oil) I'm hanging on my wall. By Lexington, KY artist Charles Davis and gives me a cool, midcentury, women-of-abstract-expressionism vibe.

The title is 'I Asked for Water,' after the blues song by Howlin' Wolf (swipe for lyrics). I love it!

Points has (once again) been resurrected from dormancy, and so has my writing for it! Here are my views of the current OUD treatment scene

I'm excited to launch this new certificate program/student org affiliated with my department --it's our foray into pre-med ed, designed to give students a deeper understanding of the concepts covered on the behavioral science section of the MCAT

I second everything Chris has to say about AAHM poster presentations! I brought a trainee (med student) with me last year to present a poster and it was a great experience for both of us. Apply!

I just read the NYTimes article on Fauvism and it reminds of this finger painting my daughter made when she was 3 or 4. She titled it 'The Wild Beast.' One of my favorite pieces of art of all-time.

Updating my pre-med health humanities class and I want an article on history/epidemics/COVID19 to teach alongside Greene and Jones's 'The Shared Goals and Distinct Strengths of the Medical Humanities: : Can the Sum of the Parts Be Greater than the Whole?'

Any recommendations?

Honored to be elected and excited to get to work!
