"...she is unequivocal in her support of protestors and the Black Lives Matter movement.... 'And of course Black lives matter. Do we think our little white asses are the only ones that matter? No!'” https://t.co/f3BfqoAZDW

[Brené Brown @BreneBrown]

Only when diverse perspectives are included, respected, and valued can we start to get a full picture of the world: who we serve, what they need, and how to successfully meet people where they are.

Listen, learn, unlearn, know when to lead, and know when to let others lead.

In the past few days, I've seen and heard some rumblings about blood type and #COVID19 risk. What are your thoughts @CarlosdelRio7?

False dichotomies!
Not yes/no to masks, but when/where.
Not open/closed economy, but how to open safer.
Not #COVID19 either overblown or disaster; it's a deadly pandemic that also causes mild illness.
Not health vs. economy. Protecting health is the road to economic recovery.

Definitely a #publichealth issue #blacklivesmatter

"Who lives and who dies violently in encounters with police, self-proclaimed neighborhood watchmen and the like is perhaps the most-serious matter facing American society at this jittery juncture of our existence." https://t.co/MIlENaqeil

[Caroline Baer @CarolineBaer4]

In #publichealth it can be hard to convince individuals when interventions work because the outcome is often that people do not get sick. This is an important reminder that the #COVID19 pandemic is not over and we all need to do our part! #PhysicalDistancing

Modelers Suggest Pandemic Lockdowns Saved Millions From Dying Of COVID-19 https://t.co/h01oFSUTmD

[Dr. Tom Frieden @DrTomFrieden]

2 million cases is just the tip of the iceberg of how #COVID19 is spreading. Looking at identified deaths and the latest estimates of infection fatality rate, we're likely only catching 1 out of every 7 people infected.

This week in #transformingPHS, students are debating whether or not #COVID19 data should be open to the public immediately. What are your thoughts? What are the consequences of open data? #replytweet @CUEpidemiology @PHPractice #globalhealthethics

[Caroline Baer @CarolineBaer4]

Very excited that today is the first day of Transforming Public Health Surveillance @CUEpidemiology’s summer program!

This course has always been a pioneer in digital learning and is especially important in the changing academic environment. #transformingPHS @PHPractice

[Malala Yousafzai @Malala]

I stand with the Black community's fight for justice for Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, George Floyd and many, many others before them. We cannot accept injustice at any cost. #BlackLivesMatter

[Melinda French Gates @melindagates]

When will America be able to get back to work?

The answer depends on whether workers have caregiving options they can rely on. I write in the @washingtonpost about why caregiving must be a priority. https://t.co/TyuEpben4o

[Caroline Baer @CarolineBaer4]

Really enjoyed listening to @CarlosdelRio7 speak to the similarities between #COVID19 and HIV! A very interesting episode, especially for those new to #publichealth

Thanks @shantivarmalenz!

Perhaps #selfcompassion is one of the best ways to embrace the changes around us. This article from @nytimes highlights how negativity bias can impact productivity and how compassion can help. #covidcompassion
