We discussed healthcare reform in my #MedSoc class today.
I told my students that in a different timeline, where Watergate didn't happen, the US could have achieved universal healthcare in 1974.
It always blows a few minds.
I’ve assigned this reading in my Medical Sociology class this term.
Lots of pre-med students and students thinking about careers in medicine/public health.
It’s so important for us to be talking about this. Thank you for tackling this hard subject!

Just presented a working paper at #BSAmedsoc
Who gets socially on during PPI in health research?
My study of PPI at two Danish research panels often privileges white, middle-class citizens while working-class voices struggle with hidden barriers like academic jargon.

Brilliant first day at #MedSoc today. So many fascinating papers. Looking forward to tomorrow!

Late to the sad news: Merrill Singer inspired a whole generation and the wider community in medical social science and humanities. Trailblazing work on health disparities and syndemics that aptly illustrates how "critical" and "applied" #MedAnthro or #MedSoc are, by no means, mutually exclusive!
I am also very interested in answers to this Q (replies to @profgoldberg.bsky.social post indicate why). Friends in #histmed #medhums #medsoc #sts - any encounters with this book and/or professional reviews?
Who is studying public/patient use of chat interface LLMs/genAI to self-diagnose, interpret findings, or triangulate clinician info? I’d love to connect, or cite you! #HealthAI #HealthIB #LIS #eHealth #MedSoc
