This is cool, I’m quoted in @rollingstone.com : “They acknowledge that ultra-processed foods are cheaper, but aren’t acknowledging that growing poverty and the wealth gap is leading more people, and children, to relying on cheaper foods,” www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...
If you can reduce your use of plastics at home, it is a good start to reducing your exposure to microplastics and the toxic chemicals they contain…

Quoted along with other Rollins School of Public Health at Emory University researchers, “it’s somewhat irresponsible not to have a system in place that you want to move to before you stop the system that
does exist right now, and for the most part is working.” www.nytimes.com/2025/05/15/h...
An underestimate of the impact on rigorous, life-saving research impacted by thoughtless terminations at NIH. It’s dubious to be amongst the top affected universities. My colleagues were doing research that would undoubtedly impact the health of America & beyond. jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...
Extremely successful program that helped 7,000 people know they were living with HIV & get into treatment-preserving their life & preventing new infections costing 100s of $millions is cut because of reckless layoffs at CDC. Not saving and making America less healthy. abcnews.go.com/Health/cdc-a...
Excited to speak to journalists, students, and advocates about the children’s health effects of plastic pollution #SEJ2025 with #ProjectTendr colleagues Liza Gross, Tanya Taiwo & Gretchen Salter
Proud to be part of this community that is dedicated to excellence in all we do.
Last month, Carmen Marsit, PhD, was featured on So What’s Next?, a new podcast run by members of the Young Democrats of Emory. He spoke about the Trump administration’s changes to funding from the National Institutes of Health and what it means for public health research.
No peer review. No demonstration of “merit”. Just hired to perpetuate fraud and nonsense.
This is a horrifying bill and harkens back to the Germany of the late 1930s and McCarthy-ism America. Transgender individuals exist and have a right to live their lives safely and freely with the care and support deserved by every person. www-nbcnews-com.cdn.ampproject.org/c/s/www.nbcn...
Proud to share the incredible benefits of public health research and to speak out against the federal actions that threaten science and our goal of #healthforall. #standupforscience2025
It’s time for scientists and supporters to stand up and speak out against the anti-science efforts happening at the federal and state levels. Join me Friday at Liberty Plaza in Atlanta. #standupforscience2025 www.eventbrite.com/e/stand-up-f...
Transgender individuals exist and bring tremendous contributions to our society. We cannot erase their existence and allow the hateful actions of this administration impact their wellbeing.
It is very disturbing that two long-time top leaders of NIH have stepped down in two days. Leaves a vacuum of leadership and ethics.
Impacts 30,000 jobs in those two states alone. Not to mention the loss of critical research and infrastructure for the US to continue to innovate and train the next generation of scientists.
