Had a great time at #MHSRS with my colleagues at USARIEM presenting research on the impact of the Army's H2F program on metabolic health and interacting with so many researchers and practitioners.
Looking forward to building on this work evaluating H2F's impact on the Army

I'll be at the Military Health System Research Symposium (#MHSRS) this week presenting on how the Army's Health and Holistic Fitness Program (H2F) has helped improve Soldiers' metabolic health and how health economics can be used to evaluate Solider health and performance.

Red Panda is one of the GOATs of basketball halftime shows for 20+ years. Hoping for a speedy recovery 🙏🏻
An arena employee told The Athletic that they saw Red Panda leave the Target Center Tuesday in an ambulance.
There was no immediate word on the seriousness of her injuries.

Very honored to have been selected as one of Old Dominion University's top 40 under 40.
I completed a BA in Economics with a minor in Applied Math in 2010, MBA in 2013 and a MA in Economics in 2013.
I can't be more grateful for my time at ODU and the preparation it gave me for a PhD and my career

One of my favorite datasets: baby names. In 2007, the Social Security Administration reported 34,975. In 1881, there were only 1,934.
(Note: for privacy they omit any with <5 entries, though.)
Over time, particularly since the 70s, parents have opted for more unique names.

💡What do you need to know about tariffs?
The conversations around tariffs can be confusing and often are clouded with political bias. Given the Trump administration's announcement of new tariffs this week, it's worth diving into this deeper in my new post👇🏻

What do you need to know about tariffs?
On April 2, 2025, President Donald Trump announced a sweeping set of tariffs on 185 countries that will make the effective tariff rate in the US higher than it has been in over 100 years.

Measles requires 95% vaccination rates for herd immunity.
It has a 16.2% case fatality rate for unvaccinated children under 5 years and 24% for children under 9 months (who are unable to be vaccinated).
30% of the survivors experience severe complications like blindness, deafness, or encephalitis.

These are the vaccination rates of kindergartners by state. It takes 95% coverage of MMR vaccine to prevent measles outbreaks & most states are not achieving it. I fear that under the new administration rates will drop even further and we will start to see preventable illness, disability, and death
