It’s easy to feel disheartened some days, but I keep coming back to this speech:
“I hope you’ll keep teaching each other, and learning from each other, and building bonds of friendship that will enrich your lives and enrich our world for decades to come.”
This is why we keep going. 🌍📚
Also today, we wrapped a 3-week decision modeling workshop at Vandy, training 11 leaders from LMIC Ministries of Health. It's incredibly intense but rewarding. Seeing them bring their country’s needs into the classroom and leave with new skills and networks reminded me of everything I believe in.
Then at the DMV, this afternoon, the woman helping me asked casually, “Why did you come to the US?”
And I just said, “To study.” That choice shaped everything: my MPH, my PhD, and the community I’ve found here.
Some news came out that hit hard, heartbreaking for anyone who came to this country to learn, and for those of us who now teach.
These past few months, I've been thinking a lot about Michelle Obama's 2014 speech at Peking University (my alma mater) -- I was there as an undergrad about to start my MPH in the US in just a few months. Today is a day I felt the urge to post about it. obamawhitehouse.archives.gov/the-press-of...
Can't wait!

🚨Thrilled to share our new JAMA Neurology publication! Building on previous work, we compare the past vs. future impact of stroke care improvements. Timely tPA drove 20 years of gains, but untapped potential lies in carotid imaging and broader tPA access. jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...
Just used ChatGPT to draft a policy on ChatGPT usage for my course syllabus 🤓 Curious how others are addressing AI tools in their teaching!
