"Armed, dangerous person" reported at UNC-Chapel Hill weeks after fatal shooting https://t.co/EvDMMU8hgp

Just yesterday I was with students from March For Our Lives UNC Chapel Hill, demanding action on gun violence at the state capitol.

Now those same students there are in ANOTHER lockdown just TWO WEEKS after a professor was shot and killed there.

Are you at #ARM23? Come by this afternoon to see @NCExtension and @unchpm poster on methods to reach and connect with farmworkers. Thank you @AcademyHealth for allowing us to share stories from the people who help keep our economy running. #HealthEquity

One of my favorite places... #Seattle! Glad to be back at @AcademyHealth presenting for the first time in almost a decade!

Ending today, the @theNASEM held 2 days of mtgs on #LongCOVID & the big take-home messages:
-It's FAR more widespread & complex than is generally realized
-Patients experience stigma from MDs & employers
-Doctors can't get reimbursed
-There is no standard of diagnosis or care.

[Tatiana Prowell, MD @tmprowell]

This paper about the impact of #longCovid on language & cognitive function is frankly devastating.

A couple examples of how affected individuals fared when confronted with photos of objects & asked to name them. Lots of struggling & pauses. #MedTwitter https://t.co/sJgf83DHNN

On the Titan, five people died on an expensive excursion. Off the coast of Greece, perhaps 500 people fleeing poverty and violence died. The rescue efforts, and the attention paid to each, fueled a debate about the realities of class and ethnicity. https://t.co/z2rWmzXn8H

I am motivated by trying to beat the heat and humidity. Great 8-mile run on the Legacy Trail by @SarasotaPRD. Thanks for supporting active living!

DYK that SNAP helps people put food on the table? SNAP plays a critical role in reducing hunger, malnutrition, and poverty. SNAP improves family security, child and adult health, employment, and other outcomes. #SNAPMatters

[Dr. Haynes-Maslow @WellnessPolicy]

Bottom line: #WorkRequirements don't work. Research has demonstrated this for decades.

Veterans and homeless people may have difficulty collecting proper documentation to prove their exemptions as part of the complex, state-by-state process of securing SNAP benefits, said FRAC's @emv52. https://t.co/UP5DI8iYRp

@DeondraRose @DukeU @DukeChronicle @The_Anna_24 What an incredible honor - one that you are so deserving of - I am amazed by all your accomplishments! You truly are an inspiration!

It is inspiring to see the growing engagement with #WorldEnvironmentDay in the #GlobalHealth & #HumanRights communities.
We are all in this together.

Disappointing and predictable. We are whitewashing higher education and re-writing some pretend narrative that erases lived experiences and history.

Texas lawmakers on Sunday approved a ban on offices and programs that promote diversity, equity and inclusion at publicly funded colleges and universities. https://t.co/gQ2HqPV4O4

They contended that children were at no risk. Tell that to 1600+ children who have died, 14,000+ hospitalized, 9,000+ with MIS-C, and the mounting number of children experiencing post- and long-covid effects. And don't forget the 245,000+ who lost parents.

Don't wait, vaccinate. #VaccinesSaveLives

[Dr Peter Beaver 🇵🇸 @PeterJBeaver]

This is terrible and awful. 25% Long-COVID in children and adolescents.

My go-to study for children was 4.8%. Early in the pandemic adult studies showed very high rates of Long-COVID. But unvaccinated populations. We haven't been vaccinating children.

“They have prioritized tax cuts for corporations and wealthy North Carolinians over funding working families’ education,” Hunt said. “They have shown us who they are and what they value.” #ncpol

Anti-LGBTQ conservatives see reports of children being abused in the Catholic Church, the Southern Baptist Convention, the Boy Scouts of America, and by numerous GOP politicians, and they think:

"You know what kids need protection from? Shirts with rainbows on them at Target."
