In March 2022, Public Health Insight Co-Founders @gzthane and @leshawnbenedict gave a lecture to the @SchulichMedDent MPH Program.

The lecture focused on the creation of @ThePHInsight, entrepreneurship in #publichealth, and key skills to build as public health professionals.

The marginalized groups experiencing health inequities globally are the same ones who get discriminated against while working in global health to address the issues.

The global health infrastructure needs as much "fixing" as the health inequities themselves.
@LazenyaR

[Leshawn Benedict @leshawnbenedict]

A timely and relevant conversation with @LazenyaR. Thank you for sharing your story about how people, organizations, and structures can negatively impact global health practice.

These things still hold true in Canada - let's reflect and become more compassionate leaders.

In fact, it's a result of a disease that was first discovered in the 1800s, called Tuberculosis. #WorldTuberculosisDay

What if climate change was a comet approaching earth?

@dontlookupfilm gave climate change a concrete timeline and asked the question "how would humans behave?"

Seemingly invisible threats with no immediate consequence are often neglected. I hope our fate isn't similar.
