If there's one thing I've learned in my MPH and experience is that you don't have any idea what public health really is or does, until it goes wrong We don't pay attention to our water, roll our eyes at infectious diseases nurses being so stringent and not think a childhood illness may mean death

Looking forward to #UKHSA25 and presenting with Dr Binta Sultan and others on HBRUs, research, equity and moving forward

LESS THAN 1% OF GLOBAL FUNDING FOR HIV IS TARGETED AT SEX WORKERS LESS THAN 1%!!

My family owe their lives to immigrant doctors. They tried to resuscitate my sister, diagnosed my brother with an incredibly rare condition before death thus, also saving me and my brother. They operated on my brothers leg 9 times to prevent amputation. It is for us to challenge this vile rhetoric.

A reminder to read about the harms towards sex workers and victims of trafficking caused by the Sex Trafficking Index Matrix used by policing and increasingly, charities. By @emilykenway.bsky.social @addyberry.bsky.social and Victoria Holt: www.swarmcollective.org/sex-workers-...

Today is Retraction Day, when we observe the anniversary of the retraction (Feb. 2, 2010) of the fraudulent paper that purported to show a link between vaccines and autism. 🧪#medsky

Never thought I'd see the day where I'd be saying I'm really enjoying my masters in public health I was terrified to return to education

San Francisco is messed up. Going into voluntary or involuntary treatment doesn't address poverty, and homelessness.

Reading my modules for next semester and I love them already - learning about self reflective, decolonialisation and antiracism practice in public health

Red flags I see by services that work with sex workers (Sex workers feel free to add your own)

I welcome this greatly, as someone who had been removed from a service because a manager decided I was not of any clinical risk by doing so. There are some truly inspiring NHS managers, but there are some that get promoted upwards instead of removed. www.gov.uk/government/c...

I've had a really difficult few weeks which impacted my studies. A lecturer sent me a lovely email today and I just cried at how kind and understanding it was. Brought my faith back to academia

Comes at the right time such as Enfield, one of the most deprived areas, having to decommission their sexual health services.

The pictures are out! All things fun, harm reduction, sex work & only presenter to wear a hoodie 😂

Couldn't recommend Release enough!

We strongly suggest that academic publishers and other platforms that host research rapidly implement a Share to Bluesky button for their articles. Here's how: docs.bsky.app/docs/advance... #AcademicSky #HigherEd #Altmetrics

Gov plans to close down red light area in South Korea 🤬 “Outsiders see this place as just a brothel but it’s our workplace & home. A red-light district like Yongjugol provides a communal safety net & sense of security through mutual care & vigilance." koreapro.org/2024/05/insi...
