The topic is not actually important, but my first thought when I saw this was “that thing mad ain’t it?!!“

Looking for someone to make publication quality graph from my version Monday or Tuesday. Qualitative data. Potentially a euler diagram but likely sticking with a network graph (have mermaid code). It’s for a grant so confidentiality required. This is a paid opp and not for AI.

Since I’m up…welp forgot the thought. Anyway, happy Friday!

End of the year but not new year new me tomorrow. just me. Expect a lot of cool things next year from my biz and about lego and video games

You haven’t seen Baltimore unless you’ve been on a Full Story Baltimore tour!! Yes even for locals. There are so many cool things we take for granted every day.

And disproportionately affects Black people with uteruses — I’ve seen reporting that 50-80% have the condition. This from the Mayo Clinic says 90% by age 50, it’s outrageous

You can also use the map in the story to look up vaccination rates in your local schools! This was a HUGE data lift: we reviewed and mapped tens of thousands of individual schools’ data, assembling the most comprehensive public database. And we published this data here: github.com/washingtonpo...

In 2026:
If you can get vaccinated, you will.
For the sake of the babies who can't be vaccinated yet.
For the sake of the children and adults who are immune compromised.
For the sake of the people who can't be vaccinated.

You will heroically save lives.

Here's a really easy New Year's Resolution:
If you're sick with something contagious, you will stay home if your circumstances allow.

If you can't stay home, you will mask around others until there is no possibility you are contagious.

By making these choices, you will literally save lives.

Then you aren’t 😂 We get to call ourselves whatever we want ⭐️

Today is a reminder of the WHY I am an educator and why HBCUs matter. One of my first MPH students crosses the stage with his PhD. On this journey we became #family. Full circle y’all and I am so proud. Yesterday he put up with my goofiness so I present #DrAjoku. #FAMU #Memphis #Epidemiology

Parent of student charged in shooting that killed teen at Kentucky State University | CNN A parent of a Kentucky State University student has been charged with murder in an on campus shooting that killed one student and critically injured another.

When I was doing my DrPH at UK, I worked with students at K-State and got to love the campus and the people. I actually split my time between there and the UK libraries. People should be safe at school and at their residence. Everywhere. Hugs and love to all the ‘Breds! www.cnn.com/2025/12/10/u...

Where do other people who rarely use flour buy a literal cup worth? I hate buying a huge bag and tossing it.

Friends, I am helping out a great kid who is studying medicine abroad in China. I need to send some winter clothes and workout gear - what’s the best online store to use? #MedSky #MedStudent #StudyAbroad #China

Help me, BlueSky peeps! I NEED YOUR IDEAS! I’m giving a talk to high schoolers on the past, present & future of U.S. & global public health, and I want to end with HOPEFUL points. What are some positive/hopeful things going on or coming in public health right now?

Working on a cool paper independently is fun but it keeps getting behind the other stuff. Plans this week include catching back up with all potential help like @profgoldberg.bsky.social! Love that I get to connect and stay connected with such cool scholars on here.

Or wind that goes through all layers and attaches to my bones as if I don’t have extra insulation. #Pittsburgh But this wind and cold are BS. #Baltimore, what did you do to old man winter to make him show up like this? He’s out here picking out drapes for a long haul.

Ah, Finter season is here. Supposed to be fall but thinks it is winter. Finter. I don’t have to call 262-SNOW in the mornings to see if school is cancelled or on delay and I don’t have wind that can pick me up and bodyslam me. #Boone

the ridiculously large apple pancake from the original pancake house. it fills a dinner plate and is 2.5 inches tall. the base is a pie crust, an egg filling, and apples on top with cinnamon sugar. this is a danger to your cholesterol and blood sugar

the original pancake house should label this a family meal. no one should eat this in one or even four sittings no matter how good it is. it takes 30 min to bake! #ApplePancake

so jealous!

bless you for this
