When Black scholars get asked to do unnecessary stuff, we should respond with: "that work may shorten my telomere lengths and affect my cortisol levels, which puts me at greater risk for heart disease. So the answer is no! "

[AFRICAN & BLACK HISTORY @AfricanArchives]

Did you know the author of 'The Three Musketeers', 'The Count of Monte Cristo' & 'The Iron Mask' was a black writer called Alexander Dumas.

Alexandre Dumas, prolific writer of the 19th century, enjoyed immense success for his numerous historical chronicles, such as ‘The Three Musketeers’, ‘The Count of Monte Cristo’ and ‘Queen Margot’ to name a few. Son of an army general born in Saint-Domingue, (present-day Haiti), Dumas was opposed to the racist slurs of his contemporaries. In 2002, for the bicentenary of his birth, Alexandre Dumas was enshrined alongside fellow great authors of his time like Victor Hugo and Émile Zola at the mausoleum of the Panthéon of Paris.

A reminder today that of the 75+ full-service grocery stores in the District, only 4 are currently located in the parts of Wards 7 and 8 east of the Anacostia River, where more than 1 out of every 5 DC residents live. Wards 1 & 4 now have 13 and 12, respectively. #EndFoodDeserts

A kind reminder: it is highly unlikely that your PhD will get you a Nobel prize.

So stop with the perfectionism and just Get the Job Done!

Honestly though to anyone manually inserting references ... why do you hate yourself 😅?

Dear co-authors: when you’re providing input, instead of writing a comment saying “you should add a sentence/info about XYZ” you can just ADD THE SENTENCE and track the changes! Thank you in advance.

[Deadric T. Williams @doc_thoughts]

What if instead of asking "why racial disparities persist," we ask "why racism persists?" What if we viewed disparities as manifestations of racism?

For the past 3 years, I've taught a class that combines social determinants of health & health communication. Every year, we take a few weeks to work on our "public health storytelling."
Here are five of our faves to share with you!
