How do we balance efficiency, adaptation to new technologies, and BEAUTY / HUMANITY in healthcare design? For thoughts, listen to @BonKu interview Michael Murphy from @MASSDesignLab. Amazing @DesignLabPod episode! open.spotify.com/episode/1WfY1R…

Wonderful interview of our collaborator ⁦@mtrowbr⁩ by ⁦@BonKu. So many themes that are core to our mission — health impacts of the built environment, economic externalities, need for companies to own impacts of their products & more podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/des…

@DesignLabPod @BonKu Thanks so much @BonKu @RSPugliese for having me on the @DesignLabPod. Always inspiring to talk with you both. Appreciate the opportunity to share my passion for making healthy places and leveraging design to improve healthcare and public health.

WE MADE IT TO EPISODE 50!!!!!! This week @bonku and @mtrowbr talk about how the built environment is a modifiable risk factor for health, public health experts as design thinkers, and why creativity will win over time. Thank you for listening!!! mailchi.mp/designlabpod/m…

@profgalloway Loved your mini “interview”of @karaswisher last #Pivot about mechanics of how she writes, gets so much out into the world. What about you? What are your personal rituals / strategies? In particular, how do you build teams across your wide range of output channels?

Need a feel good article after a long week? @jimcoan, a dear friend and colleague of mine here at @UVA, uses functional MRI to show the positive impact of touch (ie. hand-holding during medical procedures). Turns out we really do need hugs! Check it out: news.virginia.edu/content/do-you…

Now this is progress. Proud and relieved to see experts like my friend and UVA colleague @DrCameronWebb in position to help Biden administration’s COVID efforts. Perfect person for the job. theguardian.com/us-news/2021/j…

@TheBetterLab at @UCSF is starting a journal club for design + health geeks! How cool is that?!? First one is this Wednesday at 5pm EST. Join in!

Yikes! How did I miss this! @DrTTKH @traciroserider @dmiris2 all together in one session dispensing designing for health awesomeness? 🤩 Please tell me there’s a recording.

History of mandated seat belt use to prevent traffic injuries offers a reference point for mask mandates during COVID. Laws to regulate second-hand tobacco smoke come to mind as well. Same tensions at play: What is the cost of “freedom” (in lives lost)? apple.news/Anis9pl-UQkyFK…

⁦@UVA⁩ is a leader in wastewater surveillance testing for COVID-19. Great podcast from ⁦@drsanjaygupta⁩ highlighting the leadership of Dr. Amy Mathers to help monitor and prevent outbreaks in dorms and other facilities here on grounds. news.virginia.edu/content/cnns-d…

Graphic design has power... particularly when not scrutinized. Example we red / blue whole counties on vote maps without showing population density. Until now! Check this cool visualization. apple.news/AstwLjIVxRYubB…

Per @profgalloway, S.F. commercial real estate vacancies went from lowest in history to highest in 6 months. He predicts a coming ‘tsunami’ capital shift from commercial to residential property. How can public health prepare to promote affordable housing? overcast.fm/+OwaLLwuaA/42:…

In today’s episode of ⁦@PivotSchooled⁩ ⁦@profgalloway⁩ references Airbnb CEO and others as sign that design is emerging as a key new skill set / competency in business (and elsewhere). I agree!Take a listen. overcast.fm/+OwaKosEFM/47:…

Fun message from ResearchGate this morning. Nice reminder that we’re still part of an active global community even if we aren’t leaving our homes that much these days!

@jfgm @jfgm Cartoon makes me chuckle. But it’s a sad, head shaking slowly kind of chuckle.

All I want to read tomorrow is a 2,000-word profile of the team who handled the closed captioning for this debate.
