Grateful for recent graduates from our department who came back earlier this week to meet with current students. They shared their success stories and also challenges that they have faced with during this time of uncertainties.

In this piece, we discussed the impacts of USAID funding cuts globally & locally. We also underscored the critical need for the next generations of leaders who can navigate a global health landscape less dependent on the US & the role that Tulane can play.
There is still much work to be done!

Thinking about my colleagues there, from whom I first learned about the suspension of their USAID-funded work during a regular team meeting. Later that day we learned about our own suspension.

Drinking coffee in the morning might be a beneficial habit, as it turns out. Check out the latest research:

People who drink coffee in the morning may have a lower risk of dying from cardiovascular disease and a lower overall mortality risk compared to all-day coffee drinkers...

My first post here, post-election, post-X, is when I’m standing in line right now, which wraps around the block, for a talk by Abortion in America. At my favorite local black-owned independent bookstore. Looking forward to the conversation!
