A little bit about me and the things I care about.
People often ask me what I do at work. I run public health programs for medical students. I teach about population health, disparities in health, health policy, and advocating for change.
If you want a great glimpse into the things I'm passionate about at work, I encourage you to watch Unnatural Causes - a 4-part PBS documentary airing Thursdays at 10-11pm on PBS, starting tomorrow, March 27.
It's a fascinating look at injustices, poverty, racism, classism, and their effects on health. I've spent all my public health education studying this, I teach it now, and I work on projects to create change. It's hard work to create change like this. It takes more than just public health people, more than medical people, it takes all of us to change how decisions are made that affect income and wealth, educational access, and economic mobility.
Let me know if you end up watching it! It's a great documentary, and I know you'll enjoy it!
you give me a cookie, i'll give you a thought; i have much to say, but you probably won't learn a lot.
