@trashyleesuh@PGHCityPaper Folks who have worked with you, even briefly like me, know that gave that ‘commie rag’ so much of yourself. I’m so sorry.
And now they finally found something to tip the scales enough.. it speaks to your unimaginable integrity and their utter moral failing, disservice and abuse.
Fantastic discussions today at the Societal Experts Action Network symposium! Panelists+audience reflecting on the relationship of social, behavioral, economic sciences and policy - how its grown through #covid#pandemic and what's ahead for the future. @NASEM_DBASSE@theNASEM
Socially vulnerable communities are often hit worst and first as #ClimateChange makes extreme weather events more severe and more common.

@mmmeganw Likely the same reason yinzers use long-gone landmarks when giving directions: weird, cultural habits+prejudices.
Lake Erie is lovely now, but memory of its polluted decades stick. Generations of families planned summer trips elsewhere. Times are changing with new rituals though!
In a statement, NAS President Marcia McNutt and NAM President Victor J. Dzau said that the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade “will likely make it even more difficult for women to access high-quality health care in this country.”

Today is my last day with @APHA and @nationshealth.
I am so grateful for my time with the association. And, even as I move on, I'm looking forward to following its important work, both from dedicated staff at HQ and its passionate members.
@RyanDeto My 2-cents as an recent(ish) ex-yinzer, Pittsburghers' sense of exceptionalism and/or dissatisfaction comes from the city being cloistered, both geographically and somewhat culturally. Even within the city, "distinct" neighborhoods add variety for some and barriers for others.
Wastewater monitoring quickly becoming “new frontier" in infectious disease surveillance.
“These data are uniquely powerful because ... they’re not affected by access to health care or availability of clinical testing." @nationshealth reports: https://t.co/fJJklvU7Xc
Glad to see others making this point!
Public health information eventually has to be understandable to the *public* ! Jargon has a value in classrooms and journals, but, at some point, it has to be translated. #APHATweetUp#APHA2021
A3. As a field, we need to improve on our communication skills (eg, being able to talk to researchers, policy makers, and especially “regular people”) and on meeting people where they are #APHAtweetup
Sometimes it's news when a bad thing doesn't happen.
The story of health insurance coverage during the pandemic seems to be one of those times. https://t.co/Q8uUaZ4BFR
The first monthy Child Tax Credit goes out today!
My latest with @AudreyXu14 explains why parents can be trusted to spend it wisely.
By relieving stress, child benefits create healthier families that spend less on temptation goods and more on their kids.

Americans now buy an unfathomable 75 billion plastic water bottles per year.
The vast majority end up in landfills, while 8 million metric tons of plastic enter the ocean each year.
The problem, however, goes even deeper than that. https://t.co/QDOeuTODyP
For the first time in almost 70 years, a peregrine falcon chick has hatched at @HarpersFerryNPS, part of a national comeback story for a species that had largely disappeared in the wild.
When we invest in conservation, we can #RecoverWildlife! https://t.co/YKFjxWA9KK
Obamacare has now survived three major Supreme Court challenges, all threatening to overturn the law entirely.
The first did some pretty big damage (making Medicaid expansion optional). The other two, including today's, leave the law untouched.
Congratulations to @nationshealth, APHA's official newspaper, which earned a gold award for editorial excellence today in the 41st Annual AM&P Network Excel Awards! https://t.co/FHahFeLvPU
