Curious wanderer, eater, athlete, activist, traveler, & professor trying to make sense of the interplay of food, culture, poverty, & life. Tweets my own.

Proud of my team of students over the years in making this important community-engaged food security research possible and now published in JAND! A global pandemic interrupted us but couldn’t stop us 🤓 👏🏽 @SDSUResearch @EnsSdsu @SDSUCHHS @eatrightPRO https://t.co/xHpgoDO4Ha

Second to last day attending the week-long Intervention Mapping workshop at Maastricht University and the pieces are finally starting to fall into place for my work group and me! Clearly, we enjoyed the intervention design step the most 🤓

#ISBNPA I am hearing this across a number of presentations today. Good participatory research needs building relationships, trust, reciprocity and valuing lived experience and knowledge. Essential in working with First Nations communities

[Amanda C. McClain 🥕🚴🏽‍♀️🍫☕️🥃 @amandacmcclain]

@_AMJohnson_ @ISBNPA I came by your poster but not until this afternoon. Can’t believe I haven’t seen you this whole time!

[Amanda C. McClain 🥕🚴🏽‍♀️🍫☕️🥃 @amandacmcclain]

@DrCRSingleton you rocked those two presentations! I was so engaged with your research that I forgot to take a photo to share with you. Incredible work- thank you for taking on such an important are of research that can inform approaches to promote equity 👏🏽

[Chelsea R. Singleton, PhD, MPH @DrCRSingleton]

Today is the day! I'm giving two presentations this afternoon at #ISBNPA2023.

Session SO.2.11 hosted by the Policies and Environments SIG.

I'll be presenting findings from my @NIMHD funded K Award and my @HEResearch funded work on #structuralracism. @TulaneSPHTM

[Amanda C. McClain 🥕🚴🏽‍♀️🍫☕️🥃 @amandacmcclain]

Ditto these sentiments! @ISBNPA connected me with the rockstar @Katmlivingstone through NESI and I still feel like I have so much to learn from her!

[A/Prof Katherine Livingstone @Katmlivingstone]

Catching up with the wonderful @amandacmcclain - thank you #NESI_ISBNPA for connecting us back in 2017! #ISBNPA2023

[Amanda C. McClain 🥕🚴🏽‍♀️🍫☕️🥃 @amandacmcclain]

@Katmlivingstone I’ll meet you on the main floor at the entrance!

[Amanda C. McClain 🥕🚴🏽‍♀️🍫☕️🥃 @amandacmcclain]

@Katmlivingstone Yes! Either morning or afternoon works for me.
