It's wild to both legitimately be experts in a similar field and being able to mostly clearly communicate how sorry we are that we don't speak the others language better! Taking recs for online (or irl in the dmv) courses to get from basic conversational spanish to profesional fluency

An approach to public health that is rooted in nostalgia for an imagined past, fixated on individual choice, and insists that every other source is corrupt or untrustworthy is authoritarian. RFK's dangerous ideology is a cornerstone of the authoritarian project, not a distraction from it.
