#Enough. After the Orlando night club massacre of 49 people in June 2016, the BU School of Public Health created the #Enough campaign to express outrage and sorrow and extend a call to action. This is just one of the many ways to retell the story of homicide, suicide, and injury caused by fire arms. These narratives focus on fractured communities, devastated families, and lives lost at each end of the gun. As public health activists and researchers rewrite this polarizing tale we have an opportunity to work closely with journalists and artists to combine numbers with real voices and real lives to inspire urgency.
Tuesday September 26th, 1:00-2:00pm INS-203
Wednesday, September 27th, 5:00-5:50pm INS-311
Join the Department of Global Health every Monday from 1:00pm-2:00pm in CT-305 for our weekly lunch seminar series as we invite colleagues in the field to come and present on their research.

Check out Department of Global Health faculty members:
Matt Fox, Chris Gill, and Don Thea's
new podcast:
Free Associations
.
“Last week they said this, this week they’re saying that, and as a consumer that’s really hard to wade through and figure out what is real and what is not,” says
Donald Thea
, professor of global health, one of three voices on the new
Free Associations
podcast, which looks at the validity of the research behind the most recent health claims. The
podcast
, a fast, funny and well-informed conversation among health experts, launches tomorrow. It’s produced by the
Population Health Exchange
(PHX). The podcast hopes to help listeners sort through competing claims and look beyond those
DRAMATIC HEADLINES!
to the actual medical research behind them.
Might be of interest to students, especially those of you who were abroad for practica this summer.
The theme of this story slam is “My Global BU.” Do you have a funny travel story? Do you have a moving immigration story? Do you have a surprising story about your experience as an international student or scholar at BU?
Whatever “My Global BU” means to you, we want to hear it.
Stories will be collected until October 16. In order to submit a story, please call our pitch line, 617-358-4399. Your story pitch should only be one minute in length and give us the general idea of your story. There will be coaches from BU CFA to help coach the storytellers on how to tell a story before a live audience. If you have more questions regarding the event, please email
global@bu.edu
Job/Internship Opportunities:
Boston University (BU) is developing and applying an integrated Metrics Framework to support Access Accelerated, a first-of-its-kind collaboration focused on improving care for Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs). BU will help monitor progress, measure achievements, and identify opportunities to improve programs that promote access to NCD care and prevention. In order to collect data from companies, Boston University has launched the Access Observatory, an online public repository where anyone can find information on Access Accelerated initiatives, including reported data.
BU requests the services of two Graduate Research Assistants to assist the BU team to review the first program registration submissions to the Observatory.
The Global Health Initiative (GHI) at Dana-Farber/Boston Children’s Cancer and Blood Disorders Center (DF/BC) is an interdisciplinary program that focuses on countries with limited resources, and brings together faculty, fellows, nurses, social workers, psychologists, health educators, and managers to improve outcomes for children. We are working to establish centers of excellence in pediatric hematology and oncology in the developing world, and we are training the next generation of leaders.
