Read my lips: no new laws without research and evidence to support them! We discuss the history of public health advocacy, the founding of the American Public Health Association, and interview Sari Bilick from Human Impact Partners to learn about Public Health Awakened, a project focused on providing public health professionals with tools to advocate for public health issues at the local, state, and federal policy levels.

Would you like some crumpets with your tea and cancer epidemiology? We were invited to discuss current research in cancer epidemiology with leading faculty at the Moffitt Cancer Center here in Tampa Bay. We also talk about the history of cancer and how we knew about the dangers of tobacco and smoking way before the 1950s.
Also, a shoutout to the Health Impact Partners new resource tool for Health Departments: http://healthequityguide.org/
Special thanks to the wonderful epidemiologyb team at Moffitt:

Can't we all just come to a consensus? Well, most scientists have on the subject of climate change. In this episode, we talk briefly about climate change and discuss how it impacts public health. We interview Linda Rudolph, MD, MPH, the Director of the Center for Climate Change and Health at the Public Health Institute. Dr. Rudolph discusses how we can harness the power of public health efforts to impact climate change and explains "health in all policies." We also talk with Dayna Lazarus, a community organizer with Organize Florida. Dayna is a passionate climate change and social justice advocate here in the Tampa Bay area. We discuss what community organizing is and why it is important to moving policy forward in addressing issues like climate change.
