Congrats to the amazing Dr. (!!!!) Kieran Todd, who defended their @hsph.harvard.edu dissertation yesterday! Beautiful example of place-based, justice-driven, intersectional work. How many folks can share results of Latent Class Analysis and Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis at one shot?

Social justice +delicious food for the win! We hosted Down North Pizza at @hsph.harvard.edu & heard about their incredible model offering employment, community, and support for formerly incarcerated folks in Philly. Check out their new cookbook at #Roxbury 's own frugalbookstore.net.

Made my morning to see @ginnybraun.bsky.social and @vicclarke.bsky.social 's guidance on #ThematicAnalysis is one of the top 10 cited papers of all time, per @nature.com. Represent! Also, congrats to all of us who cite them endlessly and helped make this happen :) www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Wonderful call to action from a passionate NIH colleague: This is not a time for science as usual. This is about saving science in this country. Every day counts. We need to get out there and make sure folks all over the US understand how this work serves them and the world.

We held a beautiful #User-centered design workshop w/ artists, funders, practitioners, & researchers. Our goal was to reimagine #PublicHealth knowledge generation & utilization w/ #SocialJustice at the center. This image shares our vision. Thanks to @rad-institute.bsky.social for supporting us!

Especially at this moment, it is a delight to showcase Dr. Lorena Estrada-Martinez of @umassboston.bsky.social and her wonderful #Participatory #EnvironmentalJustice work in Vieques #PuertoRico. Join us on March 11 from 11-12 Eastern to learn more! tinyurl.com/4b98kkfn

I spend a lot of time thinking about #Participatory approaches to #ImpSci (and life!). Colleagues and I pulled together quotes & ideas that offer alternative entry points for us. What has prompted "aha" moments for others in this space? Open access at doi.org/10.1146/annu...

Seems we need to get the word out: NIH cuts impact our ability to get the care we need AND cost our states billions of dollars. Here's my attempt - just don't tell my kids I was lighting things on fire while they were at school :)

Great panel on #ImpSci + emergencies. From Margaret Kruk- What qs should we ask, who is asking (grounded in existing relationships), and how quickly can we start to answer? Connects w Saria Hassan’s emphasis on relationships, being ok w uncertainty, and building adaptive capacity! #DIScience24

We slogged through a review of 66 community-level #impsci frameworks to see if/how they attend to #SocialNetworks so you wouldn't have to. Enjoy! Open access at #JCTS doi.org/10.1017/cts....

Ever feel like practitioners and academics are talking past each other when it comes to evidence-based interventions? Unpacking differing lenses and conceptual maps can offer points for alignment.
