My mom always tries to visit each uni I attend at least once. Sharing a Bama game with her was incredible #RollTide #phdstudent

We are and have been witnessing the genocide of Palestinians for years. US government standing with those forcing groups out of their land and in open air prisons starved of resources is what this country was founded on. #FreePalestine

On #IndigenousPeoplesDay, the world celebrates our cultures. But what they don’t see is the ongoing fight to protect and revitalize our cultures, languages, and traditional lifeways.

We fight for regenerative systems that reflect our worldviews and an #IndigenousJustTransition!

⚠️ Congress, don’t gamble with Native lives! ⚠️ With a government shutdown looming, we urge you to protect the Indian Health Service and Tribal programs. Fulfill your trust responsibility! @SenRonJohnson @SenatorBaldwin #GovernmentShutdown #ProtectIHS #StandTogether

This amazing team held 6 interactive health fairs this summer in 6 of our communities. We had thousands of lbs of produce, narcan training, STI testing, & so much more. I am a super proud supervisor of this brand new Division of Public Health #thisispublichealth #indigenoushealth

Something I never realized before being in my role- my list of text conversations would be 80% from work (staff, coworkers, community members). I use my personal # also as my work # out of convenience, but never realized the volume of work texts I’d have in my list

AI/AN life expectancy decreased by 6.6 years from 2019 to 2021. We are talking an average age of 65. Intervention is long overdue

Good morning from Anchorage, Alaska. Excited to spend the week connecting with Tribal health folks at the National Tribal Health Conference @NIHB1

Spent my Saturday night editing dissertation citations. Even with reference managers and tools it is still THE WORST part of writing

Moved back to Wisconsin to be the cool auntie. This weekend I gained one more babe to spoil.

After 3 years, we shifted our Health Department masking from mandatory to recommended.

[Kandyce Dunlap, PhD, MPH, CHES @KandyceDunlap]

We do exit interviews to understand why people leave. Some of the most powerful info I’ve received is asking asking people why they stay. That’s where you find the nuggets, insight, and motivation.

In just over a week I have to present to legislature why they should fund my #publichealth division for another year. There’s a whole team’s livelihood and prevention-based programming at stake.
