Climate change is a health equity issue. Flooding, heat, drought, and vectors hit low-income communities, outdoor workers, and the chronically ill hardest. Climate action = health action. #PublicHealth#HealthEquity
Infectious disease is a population issue, a communication issue, and a systems issue, not just a medical one. When trust fails, fear spreads faster than facts. #PublicHealth#MPH
Chronic disease isn't just biology, it's what happens when healthy food, safe housing, and preventive care are out of reach. Public health plays the long game. MasteringSeries.com#PublicHealth#ChronicDisease
Reporting 30% prevalence without a confidence interval strips out the uncertainty. The honest version: 27 to 33%. That range is the science. #PublicHealth#Epidemiology
A p-value less than 0.05 doesn't prove an intervention worked, it just means the result would be unlikely if there were no effect. Effect size is the real story. #Epidemiology#PublicHealth
One person earning $5M can make a population's mean income look nothing like reality, that's why median is the equity-sensitive statistic. #PublicHealth#Epidemiology
Medicare = federal, age-based. Medicaid = income-based, state-variable. They shape access to care for millions, and some people qualify for both. That's public health policy in action. #PublicHealth#MPH

Environmental health IS public health. Asthma, lead exposure, heat illness, these are neighborhood-level policy failures, not individual bad luck. #PublicHealth#HealthEquity
Most people already know smoking is harmful. The challenge in public health was never awareness, it's behavior change. Information alone doesn't move populations. Environments do. #PublicHealth#HealthPromotion
