Building a Bridge: USC Annenberg Professor Visits Xavier as Mass Communication Pipeline Grows | BlackPressUSA
Miki Turner, a professor at USC Annenberg, visited Xavier University to discuss opportunities for students in mass communication to pursue graduate studies at USC. Several Xavier students have successfully transitioned to USC’s programs in recent years. Turner emphasized the importance of recruiting from Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and the support system available at USC. The event aimed to connect students with prestigious journalism and graduate school opportunities, covering the application process, scholarships, and portfolio requirements. Students expressed how the discussion broadened their perspectives on graduate school.

Goals and ambitions may become impossible to achieve. Timelines and hopes for the future may be derailed. At scale, college sexual abuse is a systemic force to prevent women and marginalized victims from having the same opportunities, health, and happiness as predominantly male perpetrators.

Just a remember of what rape can entail after the fact: permanent psychological damage. Permanent physical damage and disability. Hundreds of thousands of dollars in medical care, relocation fees, lost work, lost educational opportunity. A marred reputation. Broken trust, lost relationships.

Vaccines don’t cause autism. But vaccines can help prevent it. This study found an increase in autism rates among babies born with rubella, who were infected by their moms during pregnancy. Vaccinating against rubella with the MMR vaccine (measles, mumps, rubella) prevents infection.

As of today, the CDC has changed (reverted) their Covid guidance to make the vaccine recommended for all people over 18. In addition to being a smart public health move, this recommendation also means insurance must cover it. Read more here: www.cdc.gov/covid/hcp/va... Listen to a breakdown here:

This makes me hopeful. This number is aspirational but nowhere near out of reach: a working professional could realistically cash out their 401k and buy off a public official. Owning a senator is more attainable for most Americans than home ownership.

Pathologist Dr. Elizabeth Stern's pioneering research in cytopathology transformed cervical cancer from a frequently fatal disease into a highly treatable and preventable disease. Her research revolutionized women’s healthcare. She was born #OTD in 1915. #WomenInSTEM
A black-and-white portrait of Canadian-American pathologist Dr. Elizabeth Stern (1915–1980), whose pioneering research in cytopathology transformed cervical cancer into a preventable disease. Dr. Stern is positioned slightly at an angle, facing forward with a calm, composed, and serious expression. Her dark hair is styled in a short, neat wave off her forehead, and her gaze is directed toward the camera. She wears a dark, simple collared blouse with subtle dotted textures. The composition focuses entirely on her upper shoulders and head against a stark, light-colored, uncluttered background that provides a high-contrast framing. The lighting is soft and even, highlighting her facial features. The overall mood is formal, dignified, and academic, capturing a historic visual record of an influential woman in STEM.
