I got fed up with pretending that snow days are normal remote work days so I came home from sledding and wrote this article with my favourite economist.

"When workplaces go virtual and childcare cannot, family caregivers are quite literally left holding the baby."

Caregiving is an equity issue.

✅If you're looking for honest talk about what it's like to work in #publichealth, then you've come to the right place.

❌If you want sugar-coating and ego massage, then you've come to the wrong place. I tell it like it is, without any of the BS.

@DrPaulOffit Whatever the quality of the evidence on infection prevention, to call breastfeeding "cheap" and "readily available" is to ignore the many social and physiological barriers to breastfeeding which must be taken into account

[Katie Schenk (she|her|Dr) @skibird613]

@DrPaulOffit @DrPaulOffit, I have great respect for your important work. But please don't call breastfeeding cheap! The cost of breastfeeding is the opportunity cost of women's active participation in the workplace.

@silverspringdcy @ymcabethesda @silverspringdcy manages to notify me about countless schedule changes for zumba, yoga, spin, pickleball, etc. Why not for an activity that would actually be relevant?

[Katie Schenk (she|her|Dr) @skibird613]

Imagine my surprise when I arrived at the @YSSAquatics pool for my morning swim and found it empty!

[Katie Schenk (she|her|Dr) @skibird613]

@silverspringdcy Are we permitted to use @ymcabethesda this week?
