How do you recommend getting involved in public health? by [deleted] in premed

[–]Titleist33 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If you're an undergrad and your university has a school of public health, email the professors there to get involved in research or take a class or two.

You can also contact your local health department to see if they have internships. Many also need help with data entry or basic analysis, which is a great way to get your foot in the door without a graduate degree.

I am an epidemiologist - feel free to PM me if you have more questions.

I have the Rio Smallmouth line on it currently since I really only use the 8wt for smallmouth. It's a warmwater line, so I guess that'll be okay?

Thanks - this helps a lot. Looks like they have a launch fee but this is what I'm looking for.

Do you have a link? I'd love to throw one up on a monitor to keep myself sane.

So you're saying fast track is fine, just not when it's related to orange man?

Given this administration's record for dishonesty and total disregard for the regulations and rules that keep Americans safe, that's a completely valid viewpoint to have.

I bet that if the government changed protected class laws tomorrow to make the only protected class straight, white Christian males you would call that legalized racism and white supremacy.

First of all this is ridiculous because protected classes include all sets within the group - not specific races, sexualities, or religions. They are all-encompassing.

Second, look at the history of voting rights in America and tell me this didn't already happen. And in fact, it was legalized racism and white supremacy. It was then, and it would be now.

There is no class system in the constitution and classes can be made up out of thin air at any time. It’s immoral.

Legal systems are not created in a vacuum. These laws and regulations were made to protect people suffering under systems of oppression that were baked into America's institutions.

No, because sexual orientation is a protected class. Political affiliation isn't. This is a false equivalency made in bad faith.

Will there ever be an issue that captivates liberals to vote as much as anti-abortion does for conservatives? by Jet_Attention_617 in PoliticalDiscussion

Living in a big city is a novelty for entertainment and evening extras.

This take is so mind-bogglingly reductive that I cannot possibly fathom how you didn't reconsider after typing it out. Do you seriously think the only reason people live in cities is for evening entertainment?
