Many factors are responsible for this trend—ranging from the opioid epidemic & increasing obesity rates to intensifying economic precarity.
A new JAMA Viewpoint examines these causes. ja.ma/3Z0QEsT
I have this amazing all volunteer group of undergraduates and masters students helping me for the last six months. After every meeting I’m just so impressed by them.

Edtech has so much to offer but how do we bring its power to low resourced settings? Our CERES researchers and their school partners have thoughts.
Reading the reports just couldn’t bring to life the impactful work being done by our @ceres_jacobs partners at the University of Ghana. From generative AI, to country wide conferences, to training the teachers, there’s so much happening.
Spent the last week in Accra connecting with our CERES researchers and their students. The bonds I formed with my students here over zoom were solidified by in person hugs.
Spent the last few days in Accra, Ghana sharing research ideas with our colleagues at the University of Ghana. Incredibly interesting work. Plus I LOVE it here.
