In an interview with The News-Letter, she discussed her work defining the influence of commercial entities on public health — known as commercial determinants of health (CDOH) — and further described the topics of her talk hosted by the Institute for Global Tobacco Control through the Bloomberg School of Public Health on Nov. 6, 2024.
Around this time of year, we get busy. When we get busy, we get tired. And when the busyness doesn't stop, we work through our exhaustion — then comes burnout, the beast of burden. This sad sequence feels like such an accepted series of events that I initially didn’t even want to write about it. In my hesitation, I swung between two thoughts: the first, that everything intensifies and nothing can be done about it; the second, its opposite, sprung from doubt, that I was the only one not taking it all in graceful stride.
We meet when we are small. I have a side part. You’re growing into your smile.

Last Saturday, the best pollster in the country, Ann Selzer, showed Kamala Harris ahead by the three points in deep-red Iowa, a state Donald Trump beat Joe Biden by eight points. Selzer is one of the two best pollsters (along with The New York Times/Siena College) according to polling guru Nate Silver.
You loved it in the beginning, but the older it got the messier it got, and you started feeling mad more than anything else, especially when you kept finding pee on the carpet, and in the very end, it died a rapid, out-of-left-field death caused by rabies: violent and hard to watch but harder to stop watching, and once it was over you wished none of it — the dog, the death — ever happened in the first place.
As the leaves continue to change color, scientific research similarly advances with new progress and innovation. Here are some of the recent studies in the fields of biotechnology, health and chemistry.

A few weeks ago, I walked into CVS and printed out 114 4x6 photos. My intent was to make a photo wall in my apartment, but given that I am indecisive, I decided to just print a huge chunk of my favorites folder without truly thinking about the sheer quantity that I had selected.

Last week, I caught a particularly annoying cold and lost my voice. As I showed up to class armed with masks and copious quantities of hand sanitizer, I noticed that I wasn’t raising my hand during lectures nearly as much as I usually do.

Its silencing effect was annoying, and it was particularly irksome because this wasn't the first time my voice had held me back.

In recent years, there has been an almost perverse public obsession with Donald Trump — 45th president of the United States, convicted criminal and renowned business tycoon. Ali Abbasi’s latest film, The Apprentice, explores the latter of Trump’s identities. Starring Sebastian Stan as Donald Trump, the film follows how Trump launched his career as a real estate businessman in New York City into a massive story of financial success. Particularly, it traces how he gained that success through his relationship with another figure of great controversy, Roy Cohn.
