Improving SRTS infrastructure in communities that need it most is one key strategy for addressing equity. Thank you to our partners at @austintexasgov for implementing these important projects and at @UTHealthSPH for analyzing and documenting the process. sciencedirect.com/science/ar…!
This was a terrifying ordeal, and I am incredibly proud of my friend and her husband for speaking out about what they went through in hopes of making a much needed change.
This is what happens when extreme abortion bans are put into effect. Women like Amanda are left in life-threatening situations that could have otherwise been prevented. Congressional Republicans are still pushing for a national ban on abortion.

Does anyone have resources or a presentation making the case for using #rstats for data visualization over Microsoft Office tools? For a company that doesn’t need a lot of data wrangling or complex modeling, typically just descriptives and change over time.

Looking forward to presenting this work on child physical activity and sedentary behavior changes during COVID this morning at @ISBNPA! @DebSalvoD @billkohl @KatieBurford6 @deannahoelscher @YuziZhang66
Just published @IJBNPA This @msdcenter study found children decreased physical activity by 9.4 min/day and increased sedentary time by 0.8 hr/day during COVID-19 . Gender and social cohesion were predictors of the behaviors. ijbnpa.biomedcentral.com/art…
For @ISPAH’s World Day for Physical Activity and Day 6 of #30DayChartChallenge, I looked at global burden of physical inactivity on health, which has doubled over the last two decades.

Took a break from cycling related charts for Day 4’s flora theme for the #30DayChartChallenge to compare contributors to flowering plant extinction. #RStats

For Day 1 of the #30DayChartChallenge, I downloaded my own @Strava data to look at activity type over time. The impact of my concussion on uploads is obvious in 2021!

Proud to see some of the last 6 years of work come to light in this article!
Center members were recently published in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health for research on the Effects of Large-Scale Municipal Safe Routes to School Infrastructure on Student Active Travel and Physical Activity: ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/article…
“Perhaps we should go easier on athletes in general.” Wise words from @BStulberg
When you think about the level of stress an Olympian is under you have to remember that it is so much more than merely being on the world-stage with massive acute pressure. As if that's not enough, it is also 4, 8, 12, 16 years of single-minded focus and identity construction.
