I was just starting to prep for my summer class on physical activity in diverse populations. I have used a CDC video series on health equity and the social determinants of health many times as a learning tool. Checked today and every. single. one. gone. Not a trace of them available.

Excited to present at the Active Living conference- hope to see you there.

After 15 months of work, from many talented authors, I got to click submit today on the 2nd ed of Physical Activity in Diverse Populations. I'm so proud of the book that we compiled that showcases health disparities in many marginalized groups. The next generation of students needs to be educated.

It is eye-opening to see them used to their full potential. It is tough to navigate but so very practical.

Physical activity researchers- the CDC has pulled down the Community Guide from the Task Force for Community Preventive Services off their website. Does anyone have more recent version of the guide - the PA specific parts? All links are currently directed to the CDC stacks.

A little light pre-semester reading and I came across this description of symposiums from ancient Greece. I feel like our modern conference symposium could be jazzed up a little with this practice. BRB... calling the organizing committee.

I really do have a lovely 3 mile bike commute here in State College, PA. Parks, trails, quiet streets - I am thankful for my decent infrastructure and wanted to share it with you all. #bikecommute #activetravel

At the IKEA in Copenhagen they will let you borrow an e-cargo bike (for free!) to bring home your purchase!

First cold bike commute of the fall where I always end up looking like a puffy neon bank robber.
