America’s military leadership has more important things to do than listen to lectures on character from an unqualified drunk who assaults women.
Any soldier who was as careless as Hegseth was with war plans would be fired if not prosecuted.
And everyone in that room knows it.

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

Thanks to @gw-workforce.bsky.social for highlighting my editorial on local #PublicHealth workforce diversity! It's a messy situation at present, but #HigherEd can still play an important role in broadening pathways into public health.
Despite the challenges, higher education still has a responsibility to broaden access to public health education. Knowing these challenges will help us address them doi.org/10.2105/AJPH... #HigherEd #PublicHealth

New publication! My AJPH editorial unpacks findings of an article examining racial/ethnic representativeness of the local health department workforce. We're making progress, but LHDs have some big challenges ahead, especially in today's anti-DEI higher ed climate.

I used the YBRS for an in-class exercise *yesterday* (after checking that it was still online). We beat the purge by one day! 😳
