Cool, slightly surreal news: my @TEDMED talk is now available online. The core of the talk reflects my long-held belief that the central determinant of a healthier world is love. Let me explain. https://t.co/yZOI9PwfXc

Throughout the pandemic, many have engaged with the arguments of Well – that, in order to be healthy, we need to address the foundational drivers of health. Thank you to all who are helping advance this conversation. https://t.co/wmK7UU5yMl

Immigrants may face higher risk of mental disorders than native-born populations, yet there has been limited research on immigrants’ posttraumatic psychopathology as it relates to traumatic experiences in the country where they resettle. [1/6]

As recent mass shootings have yet again shown, firearm-related harm represents a significant threat to public health in the US. Addressing this threat means engaging with the upstream, commercial determinants of gun violence. [1/7]

[Sandro Galea @sandrogalea]

Better understanding how the gun industry talks about firearm violence could help improve the public conversation on guns and the policies that emerge from it. [6/7]
