The Best, Easiest Cherry Pie Uses Fresh or Frozen Fruit Here's how to make a flawless cherry pie every time, regardless of whether you use fresh or frozen fruit! It's always crispy on the bottom, flaky on the top, and perfection inside.

So delicious! Only had frozen cherries but they worked well

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-...

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.

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)

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

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

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.
