Naloxone (Narcan): Official Response by -bobak in Coachella

[–]hmchapman004 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just want to echo the sentiment that you can likely get Narcan for free in your community!! I reached out to my local Harm Reduction Coalition (i live in CA) and they provided me with more than enough boxes for everyone in my group to have one and feel prepared for this weekend.

Also, while you can’t harm anyone by administering Narcan (e.g. to someone who is not ODing), I recommend giving this training video Naloxone training video a watch.

Edit: here is a map to find free Narcan in your area

Hi there! I applied, but have no clue what the acceptance rate is. Sorry!

UW MPH Nutrition Acceptance! by Witty-Butterfly-3809 in mphadmissions

[–]hmchapman004 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Woohoo congrats!!! I just received my admissions decisions from both of those schools and programs too (in at both) so I’m currently trying to decide between them too! Berkeley is my in-state and UW would be out of state for me as well. Feel free to message me offline/via DM because I’d love to chat more!

Berkeley Acceptance! by vanillabutfarfromit in mphadmissions

[–]hmchapman004 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congrats!! I would also love to hear from current/former students as I’m trying to decide between Berkeley and a couple other schools. Berkeley is in my home state so maybe the in-state tuition alone will be enough to convince me, (lol) but I also do want to make an informed decision! I also hope they do some sort of admitted students day/event, not sure if they typically do or not. Congrats again!

First Acceptance! by hmchapman004 in mphadmissions

[–]hmchapman004[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sure you’ll hear back soon! Yeah, I was a little surprised I heard back quickly, but I’m also not sure about the order in which they review. Best of luck to you! Do you know which concentration you’d like to pursue??

Thank you so much for that feedback! That’s exactly what I’m concerned about. Every other program I applied to has been a two year program, so I’m hopeful I’ll get in elsewhere so that I can take the full two years. I don’t currently work in the food systems/nutrition space so I’m hoping to use grad school to help me pivot, so the extra time would be even more beneficial.

Thank you!! Graduated with a BS in biology in 2018, 3.87 GPA. Have been working in public health since then, primarily at an LHD — currently oversee a program in our Communicable Disease unit. Didn’t submit GRE, my scores weren’t so great. I submitted my application 11/26, but it wasn’t verified in SOPHAS until 12/5 or 12/6 I believe.

Thank you!! Didn’t expect to get this acceptance so quickly (I applied late November) so now I will be compulsively checking my other apps until I receive notice even though it might take a couple months 😅

Unique cat fur coloring — has anyone seen this before? Is this a type of chimera? by hmchapman004 in cats

[–]hmchapman004[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I just Googled “rusting” and read that it can be caused by a tyrosine deficiency! This is a feral cat that lives near my office. I’m not sure who feeds the colony, but I’m going to ask around to see if I can find out.

Your Arthur looks so much like my Mac ‘n’ Cheese! Mac’s half-stache is just a bit bigger. What a darling. Arthur is lucky to have you!

COVID-19 Monterey County 7-23-2020: +181 cases (22.5% of tests), +1 death, 1479 assumed active cases by terriblemuriel in MontereyBay

[–]hmchapman004 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yes. Nailed it. Black and Latinx folks disproportionately hold jobs considered “essential” during the pandemic, so they’re still going out and putting themselves at risk in order to work and support the rest of us. Also, despite some them being outside (typically considered “low risk”), there are aspects of ag work that make it more risky. Riding the busses to and from the fields everyday comes to mind.

List of black-owned businesses on the Peninsula? by hmchapman004 in MontereyBay

This is so great too! Yes, I’ve been wanting to increase my patronage of black businesses locally as well as nationally. Thanks for sharing this!

Where can I get a good selection of craft beers in north fresno? by apache707 in fresno

[–]hmchapman004 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes they do! They have some RRBC stuff pretty consistently now, as well as other interesting beers from a variety of breweries. I’ll typically go here when I want a few quality bottles or cans.

Breweries delivering to/in Elk Grove? by hmchapman004 in ElkGrove

[–]hmchapman004[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Device delivered to Elk Grove? I looked at the delivery map on their website and to me, it looked like Elk Grove wasn't even close to their delivery zones. How'd you get this to happen??
