ID Epi Faculty @JohnsHopkinsSPH #TB/#HIV and everything in between, 6th generation Baltimorean, @JHSPH_NCRC...views are my own. I am rarely on this platform.
@withspin@bethlinas See mefloquine toxicity (ok that is not injected), the promotion of hydroxychloroquine before it was proven (or unproven, but yes also not injected), the use of expired drugs on the military, and numerous other examples from history
Relying on the easiest strategies for vaccine distribution (online signup) and making small inroads towards equity (sites in zip with POC) are not enough and end in the same results as usual. We need to bring the vaccine to the people who need it. @DrTishCommish @MayorBMScott
This kind of effort to vaccinate 2200 Black seniors in W Baltimore needs to be replicated by the city ASAP @DrTishCommish @MayorBMScott

@aisha_dickerson Double underline #5- not maybe- definitely. Many times I've had someone mention faculty who they have only clearly looked up online- I know the faculty in our department better than you do- make sure you talk to them.
I hope I just reviewed my last PhD app for this cycle, so I would like to share some suggestions for future applicants:
1. Ask for a STRONG letter of support, & offer to draft it. (I had a referee submit the same 6-sentence letter for 2 separate students. He was a bad choice)
@aisha_dickerson Show me exactly how you'll fit into our program- who will you work with, what kind of work will you do and how does this logically extend the story of your career so far?
