Endlessly proud of our research field and of our Society especially (also - registration for our annual conference is open)! I can’t wait to see so many friends/colleagues from across the nation in AZ this November:

(Quick thread) -- over the past 18 months or so, I've had the chance to be a part of the NASEM committee studying the impacts of active shooter drills and related school security measures on student health and well-being; working with some of the best people in the entire world. /1

Over the past year, I've had the chance to be engaged in this work on active shooter drills and their impacts on kids. It's been such a rewarding professional experience & I've loved learning from so many incredible colleagues. This week marks the last of our mtgs - so grateful to have had this time

The fires in LA are beyond heartbreaking - it's hard to really make sense of the devastation. Thinking especially of all our colleagues and friends and research partners we work with in that area and sharing this resource if anyone else is also looking for ways to donate/help right now❤️‍🩹
