Building on West Virginia's innovative COVID-19 public health communication: associations between vaccination beliefs and vaccination messaging, partisanship, and social vulnerability Building on our previous theory-guided research findings, this study investigated differences in COVID-19 vaccination-related beliefs across a number …

A nice way to round out the end of my WVU era & the start of University of Delaware adventures! :)

Check out the latest paper that, on top of outcomes of remembering comm that encourages immunization, looks at "truisms" around politics & vaccination beliefs.

conference submission reviews be like

putting on the show for syllabus day to make sure some students don’t drop the class

instituted our first “first-year doc student showcase” (name in progress), having students cap off their seminar with poster presentations on ideas they are studying/exploring. They did such a great job! I also had an annoying jacket and a Polaroid so it was a win all around.

is this health communication

wrapping up that tenure file

response to reviewers be like

Also themes of sibling side-arcs where they are estranged and then bond. Never really pulled off that well. Also I need to revisit how annoyed Merry Gentleman made me. Parents needed to have a more central part and my guy sucked

Gonna watch sexy snowman or whatever later on

Oh also back to C Waltz - ending was way too abrupt and I had ideas. Writers for sequel can DM

Christmas at Hart Castle - another “yeah sure!” Here. Writing was pretty decent and you anticipate the drama but it still gets you. Fine!

Christmas Waltz - brother they put a Christmas love story into a backdrop of ballroom dancing, you KNOW I’m being targeted. Good representation of ballroom dancing and a cute story. Felt real nice watching this. It’s in the rotation for SURE

Christmas in Notting Hill. Feeling pretty average! Kinda wasn’t paying attention if we are being honest.

Merry Gentleman - dumb. Moody magic mike. No motivation and he is just dumb and selfish. Should have helped her achieve her dreams. Insulted by this. Not putting a pic. Will still watch again let’s be real

A Heidelberg Holiday - incredibly cringe. Heidi Heidelberg in Heidelberg. You best BELIEVE they make that joke. Fun and cute with her finding professional success while he learns more about himself along the way and leans to express his creativity thanks to her. Will watch again.

A Merry Scottish Christmas - stupid writing, cringe acting, some nice themes of like sibling bonds but incredibly unbelievable. Might watch again.

yo we are starting off STRONG with A Biltmore Christmas. I laughed, I cried, I gasped. Appropriate level of cringe with some excellent one liners and general dialogue. He sacrifices for her and there’s no real “so and so needs to find themselves etc” will rewatch next year

I mean “content analysis”

sick for turkey day so maybe I’ll start rating hallmark holiday movies

much like Prometheus brought fire to humanity, WVU #commskh has provided The People™ with sustenance via pepperoni rolls. Remember the siren song of bread and cured meat and know that when you need it most, we will provide. #NCA24 (PhD apps due Jan 15)

We’ll ship you a crate or two ;)

missed out on getting your pepperoni roll fill?? Worry not for there are more for all your carb and cured meat needs #NCA2024 #commsky

🫡🫡

At #NCA24 this week? Don’t forget to stop by WVU’s booth at the grad open house to get your annual pepperoni roll and meet our special guest…. #commsky

Maybe next year we combine forces with them?? At least some joint panels…

(and measuring that in a better way). Anyway, read the paper and cite AUSTIN et al and join me in being psyched for her and all the success she is already having and will continue to have! Also I guess I got a paper out of it too yay. /4

that nurses tend to vaccinate at lower rates than other providers. Some of the findings on the outsized role of perceived social norms around vaccination were really interesting to see, and what made me even more excited was Emilee's insight on the possible role of professional identity.. 3:

For the paper itself, this is the first of several papers from ongoing work to provide better insights for vaccination messaging over the last three years. Em specifically wanted to focus on nurses given a mix of their importance in promoting vaccination but also given some observations.. 2/

So so so so incredibly proud to see my students' thesis published & out in the wild! Emilee rules & we found some interesting stuff - when I talk her into applying to PhD programs, make sure you accept her and give her lots of money etc.
