🔍Research Spotlight🔍

👀We're offering a sneak peek at the research and practice posters on display at next week's 31st Annual Rutgers School of Public Health Public Health Symposium. Dr. Christina Blackburn will be sharing her research exploring violence against women and children through the lens of emergency and medical personnel.

Her goal was to ultimately equip them with the tools, training, and support they need to respond safely and effectively during moments of crisis, protect themselves, and help break the cycle of abuse by reducing recidivism, revictimization, and the chronic fear that surrounds these high-risk situations.

Join us on Monday, April 6 and look for Christina's poster to learn more! Register at go.rutgers.edu/PHS2026 to register. We hope to see you there!

🌎World Down Syndrome Day is tomorrow, March 21! Our staff came together with their mismatched socks to draw attention to the unique public health needs of people with Down Syndrome.

⏳ Longer Lives, Stronger Systems
People with Down syndrome are living longer than ever—thanks to advances in public health, early intervention, and medical care.

❤️ Heart Health Matters
Nearly half of babies with Down syndrome are born with heart conditions—but modern care allows most to thrive.

🔬 Unique Health Patterns
People with Down syndrome have lower rates of some cancers—but higher risk for others, showing the need for tailored care.

🏫 Inclusion Improves Outcomes
Inclusive education, workplaces, and communities lead to better health and wellbeing for all.

💙 Supporting individual wellbeing strengthens our entire community. World Down Syndrome Day - WEAR ODD SOCKS Rutgers School of Public Health Rutgers University

🌙 Ramadan Mubarak to all who observe.

As the holy month of Ramadan begins, we extend warm wishes to members of our community who are observing this time of reflection, prayer, and fasting.

If you are fasting, remember to take care of your health by:

💧 Staying hydrated during non-fasting hours
🥗 Choosing balanced meals at suhoor and iftar
😴 Getting enough rest as routines shift throughout the month
🤝 Checking in on neighbors, family, and community members

Ramadan is also a time for compassion, generosity, and connection—values that strengthen the health and wellbeing of our entire community.
Wishing peace, health, and blessings to all observing. 🌙✨
