The past week has been shocking: #DaytonShooting #ElPasoShooting #GilroyShooting #BrownsvilleShooting. We've all got to do our part on #gunviolence in America. That starts by learning about the problem and solutions. Over the past year & a half, I've devoted myself to this cause.

Season 3 of my podcast @ISIHpodcast insicknessandinhealthpodcast.com has covered #gunviolence in America. In our first chapter, we tackled the unique history that produced America's gun culture. In our second chapter, we delve into how race and gender intersect with guns and gun violence.

@ISIHpodcast In the third chapter of Season 3 of @ISIHpodcast insicknessandinhealthpodcast.com we focused on #guns themselves: do more guns lead to more vs less crime... what does it look like when people use guns in self-defense... instrumentality... & the impact of Australia's gun buyback.

@ISIHpodcast In the fourth chapter of Season 3 of @ISIHpodcast insicknessandinhealthpodcast.com we drilled down on urban #gunviolence: how guns & violence are transmitted, how criminals get guns, who's responsible for the #shootings, what works to reduce #gunshootings, & the role of the #police #cops.

@ISIHpodcast In the fifth chapter of Season 3 of @ISIHpodcast insicknessandinhealthpodcast.com we'll talk about the link between #mentalillness & #gunviolence (hint: it's mostly about #suicide), why #meansmatter, and how #gunsafety & #gunrights advocates can work together to save lives.

@ISIHpodcast And in the sixth & final chapter of Season 3 of @ISIHpodcast insicknessandinhealthpodcast.com we'll talk about where to go from here. #EnoughIsEnough. This is a #NationalEmergency. #WeNeedToKnow. We need #Evidence4Change.

@ISIHpodcast Listen to Season 3 of @ISIHpodcast insicknessandinhealthpodcast.com If you agree that more people need to learn about the science of #gunviolence & what we can do about it, please share. These are important conversations we all need to hear. #MomsDemand #AMarch4OurLives #EveryTown
