Future #PublicHealth leaders are being priced out. 💸 New federal rules could drastically cap loans for MPH & DrPH students, making a degree from schools like UC Berkeley inaccessible for many. Tell Congress to fix this and pass #HR6718! 🏛️🩺 ow.ly/UAJl50Y8oBz #PublicHealthDegree

Happy Martin Luther King Jr. Day! ✊🏿 ✊🏾✊🏽 Today we share a view of the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom held in Washington, D.C. on August 28, 1963, with a quote from Dr. King, more relevant now than ever. “Those who love peace must learn to organize as effectively as those who love war.”

“It's an incredibly important means of communication to notify state and local health departments, healthcare providers, policy makers, academics, all manner of people, [and] government agencies about urgently important problems—many of them infectious disease, but even non-infectious disease. So, [the] notion that that would be in limbo or held hostage to political points of view is very distressing,” Arthur Reingold, an epidemiology professor at UC Berkeley who spent 8 years working with the CDC, tells MDLinx.
