Move over, Mr. Obama - the LSU School of Public Health officially has a summer playlist of its own. What better way to end our week featuring summer public health works than a full list of pop-culture and public health mashups.

08/22/2024

What's more public health than supporting kids and their mental health? Answer: nothing. That's why when MPH student Allison painted a mural of positive affirmation at her kid's school, she helped make sure that every child entering on their first day was able to "soar above". It looks amazing, Allison!

This summer William Wisen interned with yesterday's student, Rachel, and officially got himself into the rat game. He helped pilot test a trapping study (pictured with an abundance of rat cages), bolster our community outreach program and analyze some data into nice, tidy, easy to communicate figures.

Rachel also wanted everyone to know that "he was the best intern ever" so sorry to everyone else who thought they had that title locked up.

08/20/2024

Rachel had a busy summer because besides giving a presentation in Pittsburgh, she also made her way to Paris, where our LSU SPH rat expert found signs after her own heart! "I went to Paris to guest lecture for an undergraduate public health course on environmental health and rodent-borne disease and Paris’ rat problem and the Leptospirosis outbreak that caused a strike in their sanitation workers," she told us. "I’m also featured in a PSA for the Olympics for about 0.2 seconds because I wouldn’t stop talking to their sanitation workers". What a star!

08/20/2024

Did you know (and how would you) that PhD student Rachel Denny was named after the environmental health queen, Rachel Carson? Neither did we! During her summer travels, Rachel paid homage to her namesake by visiting a bridge name Carson's name in Pittsburgh.

Rachel (our Rachel, that is) was in town present a multilevel analysis of environmental and social variables contributing to rodent activity in New Orleans neighborhoods at the National Environmental Health Association (NEHA) Annual Educational Conference.

08/19/2024

The LSU School of Public Health decided to go with some OG, grade-school vibes with our posts this week and asked the students "What did you do over your summer break (with public health)?" and we got some amazing responses.

Take Cecile for instance. "I visited the Broad St pump this summer (AKA the site where epidemiology started) and I'm very ready to brag to the only people who would care about this landmark. You can't actually read the small placard explaining the public health history, unfortunately, but I'm confident that public health nerds will see a pump and the London background (umbrellas) and know what's going on. "

It's finally here: the first day of Fall classes! Welcome back students!

***exagerated sigh of relief*** WE MADE IT - congrats to all students and faculty for finishing out a great semester!

The LSU School of Public Health loves being a part of the Health Sciences Center in the heart of New Orleans but we totally understand that comes with questions about safety and security. Check out this short video to see all of the security measures that are taken by the campus to make sure that students, staff and faculty are safe!

The Louisiana Center for Evidence to Practice was established in 2018 ,in collaboration with the Office of Behavioral Health, to increase statewide access to best practices to address key behavioral health needs for Medicaid-insured children and families in Louisiana. Housed here at the LSU School of Public Health, the Center's efforts expanded to include the Louisiana Mental Health Crisis Response Workforce Training and Development initiative. There are two reports you can check out about all of the work they've been doing but we thought we would share a few highlights!

Give Gold

The LSU School of Public Health is excited to announce the second annual Give Gold, Geuax Purple Day! Hosted by the LSU Health Foundation New Orleans, GGGP day is one of the biggest fundraising days for the scholarship programs here at SPH! So make sure to mark March 27th down as a day to "give gold". Not actual gold, that would be crazy - normal cash and card payments will do.

We totally get it, Ryan. All this talk about "no more covid" and the US is currently expiering a huge spike of cases? Totally sus. Remember people, while the "pandemic era" might be done the "endemic era" has just begun. Make sure to get the most recent vaccine and PLEASE stay home if you are experiencing symptoms. Your hacking is certain to cause another Gosling/Just Ken moment.

Our Facebook users love hearing about staff, student and faculty accomplishments and none was bigger than Dr. Trapido becoming interim dean of the LSU School of Public Health - making it the top Facebook post of 2023!

I mean, who doesn't love love? Obvioiusly our Instagram followers do because they made our Public Health pun Valentine's day post our top post of 2023!

The end of the year is always a great time to reflect on the accomplishments you've made over the course of the past 12 months. This week, the LSU School of Public Health will be sharing with you some of the big news that made up this big year!

This is a last call for the LSU School of Public Health fall semester Open House, happening THIS FRIDAY at 2pm. We'll have students, faculty and staff available to answer all of your questions! Well, all of your questions about graduate programs here. You're on your own for things like "what should I get my dad for Christmas this year?"

Happy Halloween 2023

Sometimes, Public Health can be downright spooky. Happy Halloween everyone!

Sure, it can seem a little overwhelming to join the LSU School of Public Health. Not only are we totally awesome in an almost intimidating way but being located in the heart of New Orleans certainly poses some challenges of its own. But thanks to the LSU Health Sciences Center University Police and the safety measures established here on campus, students, staff and faculty can rest easy that their safety is in good hands.

🎶Summer breeze, makes me feel fine... Well, sort of like we're swimming in spicy pudding but even global warming can't dampen our love for the LSU School of Public Health and the Health Sciences Center in New Orleans. Want to learn more about our campus, our relationship with the city and get perspective from students? Make sure to check out our website here: https://sph.lsuhsc.edu/about/lsuhsc-campus/ n

Shiv knows - the link between global climate change and population health is undeniable. After all, New York glowing orange last week was a pretty big giveaway. Whether it is air quality because of forest fires or pollution, access to healthy water, or rising ocean temperatures changing weather for food supplies, Public Health making sure we understand what these changes mean to you and work towards creating solutions to protect your health.

"Hey, Alexa…Play 20 Something by Sza." Yeah, that's right, the LSU School of Public Health is officially 20 years old this year and while we've been around much longer in other forms, it's been pretty good to be our own person for two decades. Over the coming weeks, we'll be planning events in honor of that celebration so we call on all friends and family of SPH to keep their ears open for how they can participate!
