Public health is a wild field to be in because when things go right, people assume we're not doing anything useful, and when things go wrong, people assume it's our fault. This pattern dates back to the beginning of public health.

How many times during your #publichealth course work did you learn health impacts of #bereavement? For me, that number was 0. Working w #caregivers & formers, I missed understanding that went beyond #grief. Check out special topic of @frontiersmedia.bsky.social www.frontiersin.org/journals/pub...

Let's celebrate #DarwinDay by reminding ourselves that everyone has moments when they feel worse for wear. Darwin wrote to Charles Lyell in 1861: "But I am very poorly today & very stupid & hate everybody & everything." www.darwinproject.ac.uk/letter/DCP-L... So, hang in there, #academicsky! 🧪🌏🐵

This @statnews.com piece by @krutikakuppalli.bsky.social is a thoughtful, thorough assessment - I only take issue with the title. Author describes how this is not a failure of public health science, knowledge, or standard practice - it's a #policyfailure due to choices made by individuals anti-PH

#Measles in an ICE facility is a public health failure. In my latest for @statnews.com, I argue this outbreak was avoidable and the result of policy choices that concentrate risk without basic prevention. V This is both a health and human rights failure. www.statnews.com/2026/02/04/m...

Great quote from Dr. Moore: "Aging is a good thing. Getting older makes you wiser, more resilient, more accepting and happier. There will be changes and challenges. Focus on what you can do — not what you can’t." #healthyaging

Spent the afternoon listening to #ACL/#RAISE #familycaregiver council. Remain disappointed, but not surprised, that the caregiver community continues to receive crumbs and is expected to be ecstatic. Recap here: caradigmshift.substack.com/p/raising-qu...
