I know the world is on fire, but can you help a girl graduate? She needs way more people to fill out her dissertation survey. You can fill it out if you're Black/AA and have ever been in grad school! If not, you can help by sharing!

I was asked for words of encouragement to share our public health students. How do we not lose the next generation of public health leaders who are watching the state of our field?
My response- we tell them the truth. The greatest threat to public health is our federal government. We fight back.

Our two papers on abortion bans and fertility/infant mortality are now out.
In 14 states w/ abortion bans, fertility increased 1.7% and infant mortality increased 6%.
Key takeaway is that these impacts were disproportionately felt among those w/ greatest structural disadvantages.

UPDATE: A purge of experienced career staff has begun at NIH. The staff was just informed that Deputy Director Lawrence Tabak, who has worked at NIH for 25 years is "retiring."
Grant funding remains frozen, in violation of two federal court orders.

Not sure how many realize that NIH funding is still frozen. This article details an almost complete dropoff (97%) in NIH funding between Feb3-10 this year and last. Our institution's numbers are consistent with those cited here. If yours are as well, please share!
