@UVA Physician & public health researcher passionate about design and technology as new tools for health promotion and healthcare.

[Matthew Trowbridge @mtrowbr]

How do we balance efficiency, adaptation to new technologies, and BEAUTY / HUMANITY in healthcare design? For thoughts, listen to @BonKu interview Michael Murphy from @MASSDesignLab. Amazing @DesignLabPod episode! https://t.co/hvLAlqtr0y

[Building H @building_h]

Wonderful interview of our collaborator ⁦@mtrowbr⁩ by ⁦@BonKu. So many themes that are core to our mission — health impacts of the built environment, economic externalities, need for companies to own impacts of their products & more https://t.co/6RktMrdHtL

@DesignLabPod @BonKu Thanks so much @BonKu @RSPugliese for having me on the @DesignLabPod. Always inspiring to talk with you both. Appreciate the opportunity to share my passion for making healthy places and leveraging design to improve healthcare and public health.

@profgalloway Loved your mini “interview”of @karaswisher last #Pivot about mechanics of how she writes, gets so much out into the world. What about you? What are your personal rituals / strategies? In particular, how do you build teams across your wide range of output channels?

Need a feel good article after a long week? @jimcoan, a dear friend and colleague of mine here at @UVA, uses functional MRI to show the positive impact of touch (ie. hand-holding during medical procedures). Turns out we really do need hugs! Check it out: https://t.co/ZqIKiv7NMY

Now this is progress. Proud and relieved to see experts like my friend and UVA colleague @DrCameronWebb in position to help Biden administration’s COVID efforts. Perfect person for the job. https://t.co/nTH10ZoP6V

Yikes! How did I miss this! @DrTTKH @traciroserider @dmiris2 all together in one session dispensing designing for health awesomeness? 🤩 Please tell me there’s a recording.

[Traci Rose Rider @traciroserider]

“Strive to design based on the best of sciences, grounded in empirical evidence.” Great inspiration from @DrTTKH to start a Tuesday @AIANational workshop on health in design for learning! @dmiris2 @NCStateDesign #thinkanddo

History of mandated seat belt use to prevent traffic injuries offers a reference point for mask mandates during COVID. Laws to regulate second-hand tobacco smoke come to mind as well. Same tensions at play: What is the cost of “freedom” (in lives lost)? https://t.co/ncL4uk5Ync

[Matthew Trowbridge @mtrowbr]

⁦@UVA⁩ is a leader in wastewater surveillance testing for COVID-19. Great podcast from ⁦@drsanjaygupta⁩ highlighting the leadership of Dr. Amy Mathers to help monitor and prevent outbreaks in dorms and other facilities here on grounds. https://t.co/QUBps2yGfb

Graphic design has power... particularly when not scrutinized. Example we red / blue whole counties on vote maps without showing population density. Until now! Check this cool visualization. https://t.co/2Nety5P1S3

[Matthew Trowbridge @mtrowbr]

Per @profgalloway, S.F. commercial real estate vacancies went from lowest in history to highest in 6 months. He predicts a coming ‘tsunami’ capital shift from commercial to residential property. How can public health prepare to promote affordable housing? https://t.co/PhNr6Ogxjo

[Matthew Trowbridge @mtrowbr]

In today’s episode of ⁦@PivotSchooled⁩ ⁦@profgalloway⁩ references Airbnb CEO and others as sign that design is emerging as a key new skill set / competency in business (and elsewhere). I agree!Take a listen. https://t.co/9cV6HtKA5L

Fun message from ResearchGate this morning. Nice reminder that we’re still part of an active global community even if we aren’t leaving our homes that much these days!

[Matthew Trowbridge @mtrowbr]

@jfgm @jfgm Cartoon makes me chuckle. But it’s a sad, head shaking slowly kind of chuckle.

All I want to read tomorrow is a 2,000-word profile of the team who handled the closed captioning for this debate.

[Matthew Trowbridge @mtrowbr]

Want to do something awesome for an awesome group of people trying to do something awesome? Take a moment to subscribe, listen, & rate @BonKu @RSPugliese ‘Design Lab’ podcast. It’s really really good. And takes a lot of work to produce. Help his team out! https://t.co/twjC5MfnHC

[Matthew Trowbridge @mtrowbr]

@ellenLupton @ResaELewiss @CincyIM Thanks @ellenLupton - this is awesome!

[Greater Good Studio @greatergood_]

Please RT! We’re hosting a virtual gathering for folks who share our belief that design can be restorative.

7 brilliant speakers will help us explore design’s relationship to complex topics such as trauma, white supremacy and the built environment.

@ValaAfshar My COVID lock-down experience is radically different than this guy’s. 😳
