Live: Neighbors describe volley of gunfire in attack that killed two children, wounded 17 Sources identified Robin Westman, 23, as the shooter, who died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound at the scene. One source told the Star Tribune Westman’s mother once worked at Annunciation.

As we mourn today's Annunciation Church shooting, the reporting and photojournalism are almost too much to take in; sharing this gift link for those seeking good local coverage from Minneapolis. www.startribune.com/minneapolis-...

Eager to read, great work here to the full team!

Teaching this fall? Consider saving time for in-class office hours. Mine are only 5-10 min at the very end of class but I have a line of students asking questions they’d otherwise skip.

Across rural America, Medicaid is a lifeline, especially for people who wouldn’t otherwise have easy access to health care. With Medicaid cuts looming, people are bracing for the impact.

Will there be a spread of pies at the welcome reception? I feel like that would truly motivate (even if it’s not your pie)

An excellent summary of the ripple effect this will have on us all: The hidden costs of cutting Medicaid

View of the Chicago River meeting Lake Michigan. There are skyscrapers to the left side and boats in the river. In the distance is Navy Pier with the Ferris wheel. It is a bright and sunny day with blue skies and white puffy clouds.

Beautiful city, lovely people! Thank you Chicago for hosting the #ASA2025 annual meeting of the American Sociological Association (@asanews.bsky.social)!

Grateful to be on this panel, and thank you to Tiffany Joseph for organizing it. Follow @asanews.bsky.social and @iusociology.bsky.social for more on the #ASA2025 meeting.

4 in 10 pregnant patients and 1 in 4 people use Medicaid. Shifting access among such a large population will have implications for the health of the entire population (and the HC institutions we rely upon). A major population health topic for demographers to prioritize. #ASA2025

Sociologists are poised to compliment work by health service researchers, h econ, and h policy researchers. We provide unique theoretical and methodological perspectives on this phenomena. #ASA2025

Medical/health scholars, we are about to experience a tsunami ripple through our health care system as millions lose access & HC systems lose money to keep the lights on. This *is* a structural determinant of health worthy of prioritizing 👇🏼 #ASA2025

Ok, as always thanks for the information.

Can we rely on the NOAA weather radios or is it true they are being updated 4/28-4/30?

Congratulations!!!

Such an important question, thank you @sarahgollust.bsky.social

It’s just one long rolling thunder and eerily calm

Thanked for posting these

Ugh, I’ve been leaning in this direction myself. Especially being on college campuses.

@pamherd.bsky.social @donmoyn.bsky.social it’s like reading your AB book as a manual

One of the questions my Medicaid team and I ask is, how will they decide who to cull from social welfare programs? At least one approach appears to be “add more administrative burdens,” affecting everyone, but those with the least power will feel these cuts most profoundly.

The Cost of Eliminating the Enhanced Premium Tax Credits Unless Congress extends the enhanced premium tax credits, 4 million more Americans will become uninsured, and many will have trouble accessing affordable care.

New analysis shows that states without #Medicaid expansion will be hit hardest if ACA tax credits expire.

Unless Congress extends the enhanced premium tax credits, 4 million more Americans will become uninsured, and many will likely experience difficulties accessing affordable #healthcare.

The impact of the cuts to #Medicaid Congress & the White House are entertaining will send shock waves through our health care system.

We or our children will all eventually feel it on some level.

There are times when I feel powerless, but then I see headlines like this and realize simply showing up for my students matters. Highly suspect these issues of violence are pervasive across the country in fraternities/sororities right now.

Thumbnail picture for the start of the video, it is a picture of me standing in my office. I'm wearing a white sweater and glasses. The title is "Why you should attend the IAPHS Conference in 2025."

We need to connect to continue our health research & build the next generation of scholars. Submit to the 10th Annual IAPHS meeting in Pittsburgh (Sept 2025). It is easy (abstracts only) and, there will be *joy* as we celebrate our anniversary! @iaphs.bsky.social

Exclusive: NIH to terminate hundreds of active research grants Studies that touch on LGBT+ health, gender identity and DEI in the biomedical workforce could be terminated, according to documents obtained by Nature.

In an unprecedented move, the US National Institutes of Health has begun mass terminations of research grants that fund active scientific projects because they no longer meet “agency priorities”.
