People with mental illnesses die 25 years earlier, on average, than people without mental illness (https://t.co/1DN1PKEkjf); but it's impossible to understand why (and work to fix this injustice) better data on mental health conditions on death certificates. #CDC #data (2/2)

[Jenn Gonzalez, PhD @DrJennR]

I was delighted to share a personal story to show why it is critical for medical examiners, justices of the peace, and coroners to include mental illness or substance use on death certificates, even if mental illness did not appear to be directly related to the death. (1/2)

#UTHealth lost one of the most passionate, dedicated teachers that ever walked this earth. Rest in peace, @billkohl. I hope those who trained under you will strive to become as amazing as you.

It is with deep sadness and heavy hearts that we inform you of our colleague, friend, and beloved faculty member, Bill Kohl’s passing. Dr. Kohl was a dedicated teacher, mentor, researcher, and friend to many.

@Danielle_Adone Hi friend (fellow Alum from the Brew), just letting you know since I can't DM you that your LinkedIn hyperlink on your profile does not work. 😉

We have a solution that can prevent deaths from suicide and drug overdose - both of which are at record rates. Check out this post by @MeadowsInst to learn more. #SuicidePreventionWeek #SuicidePreventionMonth #CoCM

#1: Mental Health

Everything begins and ends with our mind. The way we perceive and interpret the world is all through the conversation in our head – and that obviously has huge potential to influence the quality of life we experience.

Every 1,000 blows to the head increased the odds of CTE by 21%. https://t.co/mfcjhFcPtC

[Jenn Gonzalez, PhD @DrJennR]

Repeated head trauma, not just concussions, increases the odds of chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) - a brain disease that leads to dementia-related symptoms. This is scary because blows to the head are common even in youth sports like soccer, boxing & football (½)

I did not notice a time block on your calendar to "check Twitter" or #Threads. But I think I will implement a 15 minute "check Twitter" block daily. :) Does @AmandaMGoetz approve?

[Amanda Goetz @AmandaMGoetz]

Work smarter, not harder!!

[Jenn Gonzalez, PhD @DrJennR]

Inspired to implement all the things @AmandaMGoetz taught me, thanks to @MorningBrew's leadership accelerator. Ready for the 3-hour work day, @Tennant_PS?

[Jenn Gonzalez, PhD @DrJennR]

@FromPhDtoLife Interesting. As a non-profit researcher, I find that our students/interns end up thinking that working in academia is actually "less than" working in other sectors. I now solve real problems every day, but when I was in academia, I'd work on the same single problem for 6 years...

@JohnCChatham @cmotpow At many R1 universities, a 50% salary offset from grants is the "minimum expectation." Want a bonus this year? Be closer to the cap (90%). Not all of this needs to come from NIH, of course, but I would suspect that NIH is the largest funder.

@FromPhDtoLife Keeping fish. Aquariums are a breathtaking combination of science and design that never cease to amaze me. I go into a “zone” when I’m pruning my tank plants or changing water…

@meghan_crim @USFCriminology It would be helpful if you permitted DMs or posted your linkedin - i'm always looking for a pool of brilliant "data savvy" folks to join my research team!

[Jenn Gonzalez, PhD @DrJennR]

@MD3_Phd No. It's because you sent 30 emails between 1 and 3am. Which struck folks as unusual. :)
