Breaking Cycles and Rebuilding Systems: My Path to Public Health

Expired

My path to public health has been anything but linear.

My childhood was devoid of safety or guidance, and I struggled to navigate a chaotic home life. I learned early on that suffering, trauma, and abuse do not discriminate by income bracket—it does not matter how many doors are open if the people meant to guide you refuse to do so.

She writes about what inspired her to earn her MPH and how knitting helps spark creativity in unconventional ways.

Six Tips for Simplifying Your Public Health Communications

Expired

Here’s a fun conversation starter: Ask someone to explain the most complicated thing about their job or hobby in a single, easy-to-understand sentence.

For many people, especially those of us in health and other science-related fields, responding to this question can be daunting. How do you distill years of work or an immensely technical topic into a meaningful, public-friendly message?
