Ok, I think it's time to share... "Public Health is Dead" is a real podcast I am (slowly) making. This show is a forward-thinking autopsy on how we’ve f*cked up in public health. How do we prepare for inevitable future pandemics while we’re already in the thick of one? /1 Podcast cover art with purple-lined, pink graph paper for the background. There is a purple anatomical skull and the words Public Health is Dead on top
And how can we reinvent the systems that place some of us closer to death? Through past successes and failures, often through the lens of COVID, we plot a path out of apathy and denial towards a thriving public health for the people. /2
Between story-driven deep dives & mind-opening interviews, this podcast is an anti-establishment field guide to public health. Full of vision, hope, and cold truths, this show is a eulogy for the field as we knew it and a gathering of voices to figure out where we go next. /3
Would you listen to this?

Who do you want to hear from?
What do you want to hear about?
How can it be more of a community? (Book Club? Journal Club?) Y/N to merch?

Oh and it's not *only* about COVID but... as the preeminent novel f*ckup, it is related to everything 🙃 /4
Anyway, its job is to make space for accessible critical public health convos to challenge the field, aiming to centre BIPOC/ disabled folks. It will spell out how we lost public trust, millions of lives, and help plot a course through what's coming. /5
I hope to bring back some of the subversive spark that attracted me to public health/epidemiology in the first place, create *something* useful out of this decay and contribute a specific type of thing that could only come from me 🤷🏾‍♀️/6

Today is #TruthAndReconciliationDay and also #InternationalPodcastDay so here are a few Indigenous podcast recommendations to diversify your playlist and listen to Indigenous Peoples on the rest of the days of the year, too 🧵
1. Stolen: Surviving St. Michael's by @connie_walker, an icon who should be a household name at this point. A deeply personal journey into the intergenerational violence of residential "schools" in Canada and tbh the best podcast I have ever listened to pod.link/1554011083
2. Kuper Island by @duncanmccue. Another series about a notorious residential "school" in BC. Heavy and necessary listening for all settlers who need to understand the intergenerational impacts of this colonial system. pod.link/1623248767

My family has COVID & the health authority told my mom that if her lips turn blue to go to the hospital. She’s Black. Her lips will not turn blue. This is how public health sets us up for poor health outcomes + nudges us towards death by operating with whiteness as the norm.
Wow thx all 💖 She got a pulse oximeter long before they got sick because she knows the drill, being a Black health scientist. ❗️Anti-Black racism is a public health issue. We’re ok but a Black person I know who could use some help has a GoFundMe here >>> gofundme.com/f/black-alumni…
