#SAVIR2025 is finally here! Looking forward to an inspiring lineup of sessions and great conversations with colleagues. See you there!

Busy week! My students finished finals 📝, I was honored with a KSU Apex Award ⭐️, and (most of) my research team gathered for a celebration. 🎉 Also inspired by emails from former students who received grad school acceptances or job offers. 🎓Seeing students go on to do great things is rewarding!

The presence of a gun increases the chance of a woman being murdered in domestic violence situations by 500%. Let’s work to disarm abusers and keep families safe.

🌟Proud mentor moment 🌟 Javier and Reece did an excellent job presenting on the opportunities that immersive virtual reality can provide in improving home safety behaviors of parents. Great job presenting at the Symposium of Student Scholars!

If guns made us safer, America would be the safest country in the world.

KSU-area friends: Stop by the Symposium of Student Scholars on Thursday at 1pm and visit my students Javier and Reece who will be presenting a poster on our VR home safety program. See you there! @kennesawstate.bsky.social

Excited to connect with so many of my #GunViolence #FirearmViolence people on Bluesky this week. I also post about my work in #UnintentionalInjury and #ChildMaltreatment prevention. Let’s keep the conversation going on a different platform!
