What a full circle moment thinking about watching TV together inspired me and Emily to have these important conversations many years ago #healthcommunication #siblinggrief

Challenging the notion that TV can be either informative or entertaining, the study found that viewers who saw these storylines were more likely than non-viewers to say they sought or shared information about organ donation and end-of-life planning.

I also want to thank my amazing mentors and colleagues. So much has changed since this day 3 years ago when Emily stood by my side at my PhD graduation, but I’m grateful for all the support and for all the professional opportunities that have come my way.

Happy #Caturday from Mother Nature and kittens Lava, Wildfire, Tsunami, Lightening, and Thunder

Thanks for highlighting these amazing trailblazers! We just had an event at Pitt Public Health to honor their pioneering work and are working to get them a congressional gold medal.

We also heard from Dr. Joe Sachs who wrote The Pitt episode that shared the story of Freedom House with millions, Harold Sylvester Jr. who played the Freedom House member, and Krystal McNeil, as well as those who have been sharing Freedom House’s story via documentaries and books. Thank you to all!

It was such an honor last night to moderate the panel for Rescue to Reel, where we heard from members of Freedom House Ambulance service about their experience being the FIRST responders.

Last night's episode of The Pitt featured a storyline about Freedom House ambulance service, highlighting the pioneering work of the Black men and women that paved the way for today's EMS systems.

Love the floof! This is my floofy one

I see your one orange tabby and raise you 3

The Sunday Scaries but for democracy. Countering it with cats. Lots of cats #CatLadiesForDemocracy

Preparing slides for Entertainment Media and Health while my “coworkers” keep an eye on the snow here in #pittsburgh

The felines and me enjoying #caturday. I got my #covid19 vaccine yesterday (had Covid in September so that’s why I waited), so we had a lazy day. #vaccinessavelives

The foster kittens have declared email answering time over for the night @academic-chatter.bsky.social #worklifebalance

This scene hits extra hard today. What I wouldn’t give to have President Bartlet guiding immigration policy. Thanks Martin Sheen and @bradleywhitford.bsky.social for this scene. #thewestwing #thanksgiving

Starting Thanksgiving by watching this brilliant #thewestwing episode that reminds us the Pilgrims were undocumented immigrants who came to America for a better life. Thankful for escapist TV and cats.

Work from home day companions.

I was teaching a public health class when the news broke that RFK Jr is the nominee for HHS secretary. To say it was surreal is an understatement. Today I’m working from home with some kittens (and Mama). It’s a marathon not a sprint, so make sure to have some self care in there!
