@fhhirji I think this is an important policy move, but I wonder if additional strategies are needed to shift workplace culture to reduce perceptions that wearing heals leads to better tips #SPH500_Fall18
@ana_sph500@LancetCountdown Thanks, Ana! I agree, we urgently need to consider strategies to protect not only human, but animal and environmental health as well, since all three aspects are interrelated #SPH500_Fall18
Vaping policies are more complex than previous tobacco policies since vaping can be used as a harm reduction strategy. The question is: how can we limit use among never users, especially youth?

@BijdaKal @mackmoir @theprimV I agree with a U of M ethics professor; medical assistance is dying is a fundamental right. If a hospital is publicly funded, then it ought to provide a full range of options at the end of life. #SPH500_Fall18

Too good to be true? A National Pharamcare program could lead to an increase in drug utilization, and thus could cost taxpayers much more than they expect. #SPH500_fall18

A post-doc out of the U of C is exploring the relationship between doctor pay and health outcomes. Early findings suggest that the fee-for-service model doesn't improve health outcomes. #SPH500_Fall18

Sheds are not a solution for homelessness. We need stronger upstream policies to support those living in vulnerable circumstances, since providing adequate shelter is a more caring and cost-effective way #SPH500_Fall18
