Letter from the CEO - 8/26/2024

Welcome to Let’s Talk Public Health!

2024 continues to be a year of growth and expansion, which means every system I put into place winds up broken and has to be rebuilt. It can be maddening at times, but I’m so proud of our progress.

We’ve welcomed our largest Experiential Learning Program cohort yet for Spring and Summer 2024. These interns and fellows have been busy writing blog posts and creating social media content. I’ve highlighted some of their most recent publications below.

• Infotainment in Health Communication: Benefits, Drawbacks, and Importance
• Debunking Diabetes Myths: Separating Fact from Fiction
• Beyond the Burn: 3 Populations Left Behind in the Skin Cancer and Sunscreen Conversation

We’ve also launched two new resources that I’m excited about:

• First is our #SunSafeNoShade campaign, a harm reduction campaign that uses humorous memes to provide alternative sun protection methods to people who are reluctant to use sunscreen while addressing the attitudes and beliefs that are keeping them from wearing sunscreen in the first place.
• Second is our newest LinkedIn newsletter, the Health Communication Weekly. This digest shares the latest public health and health communication news, research, and data every week.

​
Lastly, we’ve got a tremendous summer sale going on in the Store until the end of this month. You don’t want to miss it; it’s buy one get one free.

If you made it this far, thank you for coming along on this journey!

Sincerely,
Monique Thornton, MPH
