More than 90 percent of students in the US will participate in an active shooter drill this year. But creating safer schools requires more than preparing students for the worst.

Justin Heinze, associate professor of Health Behavior & Health Equity at the University of Michigan School of Public Health, researches how schools can prevent violence and build safe, supportive environments where every student can thrive.

“School communities deserve to feel secure and focus on learning—not just survival.”

Hotter summers and warmer winters in parts of America, along with drought conditions and wet winters in the West and Southwest, create perfect ecosystems for soil-living fungi to grow, aerosolize and be inhaled by human hosts, explains Jennifer Head, a prof of @UMichEPID at @UMichSPH to @publichealth @nationshealth. https://t.co/yZ0Ib56xOH

“It's not unusual to have a little bit of flu show up when college students return to campus and when kids go back to school. However, we've been seeing some flu activity in the last few weeks that seems to be sticking around,” explains Emily Martin, @UMichSPH Professor of @UMichEpid to @Time.

Martin is the co-director of the Michigan Center for Respiratory Virus Research and Response
and the Michigan Public Health Integrated Center for Outbreak Analytics and Modeling, both housed at Michigan Public Health.

Wildfires across the country are getting less wild and far more urban — burning buildings, household items and vehicles — resulting in emissions far more complex and dangerous than typical vegetation-only fires. “What’s burning is now very different,” said Jackie Goodrich, professor of epidemiology @umichsph. She spoke with @voxdotcom on the future of wildfires and toxic smoke.

Thursday, October 15 - Join @rajpanjabi, author of "Safer," for a conversation with @UMichSPH Dean Charles Holmes about how individuals and communities can prepare for—and lead through—times of crisis.

Drawing on his experiences as a physician, global health leader, White House adviser, and refugee, Panjabi will share practical lessons for navigating fear, assessing risk, countering misinformation, and building trust.

The conversation will explore why connection, rather than isolation, is among our strongest forms of protection—and how public health students can help build more resilient communities. Attendees will leave with a hopeful, actionable framework for turning uncertainty into collective action. The first 75 attendees will receive a copy of Safer.

What happens when health research stops asking how laws and policies affect health?

A new article in @Health_Affairs examines reports that the NIH is turning away policy-focused grant applications, arguing that policies, such as housing and education, environmental regulation, and health care, shape health outcomes and should be studied as health interventions.

Julie Maslowsky, Associate Professor @UMichNursing and @umichsph, discusses.
