Health communication, psycho-oncology... Yeah I’m basically gone from here too!!

We’re into American Caligula territory.

Half expecting Trump to make his golf cart the Secretary of Transportation.

This is a catastrophic lack of understanding, with implications extending well beyond the pandemic.

Groups of people and societies do not think or act. I Tweet about that regularly. They are *led* to feel or act in certain ways. /1

The deadline for @IPrA2025 approaches. @kathleen_ahrens and I have a panel on Communication of identity in health conditions: Multilevel perspectives on stigma. Come to Brisbane in June when the weather is perfect! #blueskywinter

[Stefano Occhipinti @ProfOcchipinti]

@RageSheen I agree with much of your analysis here. I’ve been away from this literature for a while but I’m sure there were studies suggesting that for some groups at least, being seen as less warm was associated with more competence.

@cancer_K2A @Schiphol Worst I dealt with and that was 10 years ago!

Superb and coherent thread on the connection between dress and the cultural milieu

People mistake the notion of taste. Whatever one thinks of Chomky's worldviews, his style is very much a reflection of him as a person: a radical leftist academic who bought tailored clothing during the 1950s and 60s, which gives him a certain familiarity. 🧵

God it almost seems flippant and self serving to say that health communication and basic numeracy and quantitative literacy are crucial in a population, but Jesus, have a look at the evidence presented here so carefully!!

I’m late to this but I wanted to set out some thoughts on the awful @BMJPublicHealth excess deaths article.

Commentary has focussed on media coverage, linking deaths to vaccines, but I want to discuss the article itself, which should not have been published in its current form.

"Our final recommendation is related to job precarity. At the root of many of the QRPs are the working conditions, as highlighted elsewhere by testimonies from researchers themselves and policy papers"

In this article led by Joanna Chen, we examine metaphors of luxury in Hong Kong vs. Singapore hotels, and discuss the implications of different strategic patterns in promotional texts

This proliferation of infectious outbreaks from multiple pathogens is often attributed to immune damage from Covid infection. I think it could also be a much more lax public health response to all infectious disease, also a Covid byproduct.

@RageSheen @RealAnitaWhite I think your tweet #7 above is a key one here, because I largely agree with everything you posit. The importance of regulators in this is undeniable. Otherwise norms, emergent or otherwise, predominate.

[Stefano Occhipinti @ProfOcchipinti]

Remember Thatcher’s comments about the nonexistence of society!

[Henry Madison @RageSheen]

And that was always the point. To reverse the post-Victorian changes, the invention of a ‘public’, as a response to the catastrophes of WW1 and WW2. The social hierarchies that preceded those wars never accepted that shift.

70 years of pretending we live in economies was really the old feudal hierarchies stripping away modern public institutions, which they despise. It’s a con. Those institutions were only allowed because 2 world wars sidelined the old hierarchies. Now they’re back.

New survey out now examines vaccine acceptance in the American Heartland. Survey by @EmersonPolling & partnered with @CUNYSPH & marks the launch of the newly formed Council for Quality Health Communication, which we and @oneillinstitute are proud partners! https://t.co/1RCb9atB84

Excited to share my freshly published article examining the use of equivalence analyses in psychology published in Quality and Quantity. Spoiler: we are not great at this rubric of tests!
