I shared my journey from aspiring artist to clinical trials program manager β€” proof that there’s no one β€œright” path into research. Clinical research needs all kinds of minds: creative, analytical, compassionate, and curious. #FutureResearchers #PublicHealth #STEMCareers πŸ§ͺ

Grateful for the chance to speak with students in the Clinical Research Summer Observation Program today at #CWRU! Their curiosity and energy were a reminder of why mentoring future researchers matters. The next generation is already asking the right questions. πŸ§ͺ#ClinicalResearch #STEMEducation

Faculty members should always assume there are first-generation students in their classrooms, because there almost always are.

Faculty members should always assume there are first-generation students in their classrooms, because there almost always are.

First-generation students have unique needs, which can be amplified when they enter graduate programmes. A Comment article in Nature Reviews Psychology argues that faculty members need to be aware of the needs of this population and how to support them. https://go.nature.com/3FkQDs1 #Academicsky πŸ§ͺ

The Times identified more than 30 frozen studies that had volunteers already in the care of researchers, including trials of:

malaria treatment in children under age 5 in Mozambique

treatment for cholera in Bangladesh

a screen-and-treat method for cervical cancer in Malawi

tuberculosis treatment for children and teenagers in Peru and South Africa

nutritional support for children in Ethiopia

early-childhood-development interventions in Cambodia

ways to support pregnant and breastfeeding women to reduce malnutrition in Jordan

an mRNA vaccine technology for H.I.V. in South Africa

Earlier today I was walking and listening to the Sound of Ideas on #IdeastreamPublicMedia. It was a great segment on the H5N1 virus. I rushed home to take notes!

The YRBSS provides crucial youth health data and is often used as a training data set for future public health scientists in data analysis, coding, and interpretation. Losing public datasets erases health issues, limits research, and hinders future scientific development. πŸ§ͺ

Each time science takes a backseat to profits or politics, #PublicHealth suffers. The #FDA’s job is to use scientific evidence to protect us from unsafe food, drugs, and devices. Science-driven oversight is crucial. #TrustScience #FDAHistory πŸ§ͺ 🧫

6️⃣ 🚨 Public Health Preparedness (2000’s to today):

In 2004, the 1st HPV vaccine (Gardasil) is approved to prevent cancer.

During the COVID-19 Pandemic, Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) fast-tracks vaccines & treatments. Real-time clinical trial data sharing accelerates pandemic response.
