Eric’s a genius, and if anyone can make sense of 2020, he can. Plus, his book is full of the most interesting New Yorkers you’ll ever meet. Please join us this Tues! CBH Talk | Eric Klinenberg and Nell Freudenberger Discuss “2020” | Brooklyn Public Library https://t.co/4VZNw8EFKn

[Sharon Roerty @SharonRoerty]

@EricKlinenberg @nellfreuden @BKLYNlibrary @brooklynhistory Kleinberg walks us through profiles of ordinary people that are emotionally moving and insightful. He also masterfully weaves in an examination of policies and practices across the U.S. and other countries that should provoke serious discussions in the public health field.

@EricKlinenberg @michellejcera @GenderWorkOrg Covid exposed many inequities including gender inequities. Eric Klinenberg's covid research is a must read.

[Eric Klinenberg @EricKlinenberg]

How did fathers working remotely secure time and space at home in the pandemic? They closed the door. Mothers, not so much. They stayed out in shared areas, where everyone could reach them. And did.

The dreaded “we can’t hear you, you’re muted” on Zoom was replaced today by “we can’t hear you, the sound of progress is too loud.”

During the Mere Mortals report launch, 70+ attendees gained fierce insight into the challenges politicians face, including graphic online hate.

[Sharon Roerty @SharonRoerty]

Not taking a risk, not trying to change the systems in the face of extreme inequities is an abdication of responsibility. I salute the risk takers and change-makers! #ICUH23

#ICUH23 "Structural racism is a social determinant of health for the people who experience it." - @N8TL_1 @PSEquityMatters Absolutely, and @hmcghee argues powerfully in THE SUM OF US that structural racism affects *everyone's* health.

Rainwater is helping communities in Tucson, AZ, stay healthy.

Facing the worst drought in over 1,000 years, residents are learning to harvest rainwater for drinking, growing food, and keeping people cool. https://t.co/FG6HTcpeks

Missed @RWJF's latest #GlobalIdeas webinar?

Watch the recording and hear how communities in Chile and other countries can inspire the U.S. to transform our communities by integrating nature-rich environments into school yards. https://t.co/CEjzJL8wyW

[RWJF @RWJF]

Around the world, community leaders, teachers, and families are witnessing the health benefits of schoolyard greening in their neighborhoods.

How can your community follow suit? https://t.co/SorDuFbQak

[Sharon Roerty @SharonRoerty]

One way to better invest in our planet? More green school yards!

I introduce what this is and how it benefits our health & society in a new blog post co-authored with @ChildrenNature’s Jaime Zaplatosch just in time for #EarthDay. Check it out! https://t.co/oKLVdA6GIg

[Karabi Acharya @KarabiGlobal]

What’s one way to support communities and the environment? Creating greener school grounds.

I’m looking forward to talking with experts from @PatioVivo and @NWF about how nature in schools can help us build healthier, more resilient communities: https://t.co/LxXAfgsRnm
