[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

Through struggle and discipline, persistence and faith, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. helped move this country forward. As we honor his legacy today, let’s remember the lesson he taught us: that even in the face of impossible odds, people who love this country can help change it. In honor of #MLKDay, I hope you’ll do what you can in your community to create a better future for us all.

Less than 72 hours after landing in Seattle, I’m back at my gate, waiting to go home. It’s been a wonderful whirlwind reconnecting with colleagues and friends, and making new ones, and of course sharing @UCDavisCVP at #2024FirearmsResearchConf. Until next time, America! ✌️

New in Social Science & Medicine!

Since we began developing the new dataset of fatal & nonfatal shootings by police in the US, people have been asking us – What do shootings look like in my area? 👀 (1/4)
