You know, there's a lot of themes that come up in the field of public health, like the Surgeon General is really on to, and we had a show just recently on the theme of loneliness. And the reason I bring that up is, you know, things like mental health and public health, you know, as a field. And given all the craziness that's going on in the world,

people are really affected and it's affecting their mental health. Just think about war, or you think about violence, or you think about the economics of everything. And so I see public health education embracing some of these themes of today. that frankly, I have a feeling will be around with us for a while. So another question I have are grants.

Okay, because, you know, I know in the School of Public Health, you know, researchers, certainly, for instance, at the state health departments, even in community health, I know that Clarence and Human Partnership is connected with, you know, grants, etc. How is it that, you know, you integrate grant work? Okay, you know, going forward. And obviously what goes side by side with that is education.

So you get these grants, you bring in students to help you, or you bring in other entities to work with you, but there's this big kind of overlapping umbrella of education around grants. So how is it that you see grants being integrated into the whole works?

I agree with that a lot. So let's circle back a little bit to from an education standpoint and let's call it just lessons learned. What do you think the lessons learned at least so far? have been and what implications it have going forward for education for students based on the pandemic.

I mean, we were just kind of, to be honest with you, we were just kind of thrust, you know, public health professionals were kind of just thrust into this response mode. And it's just going forward, you know, just so we don't trip over one another, with all the logistics again, because it will happen again sometime. So what do you think we've learned from that that have implications for teaching?

You know, Clarence brought up a great point before. Excuse me one sec, Clarence. And that was this, you know, who in the hell are public health professionals? Okay. And then, so that's number one. And then number two is all of a sudden you're thrust into this pandemic. And it's, to your point, it's like, why should I trust you? I don't even know what you guys do. in general.

So maybe we have to get kind of down to the base core of trying to communicate effectively, truly what public health professionals do. And then, you know, people can say, aha, great. I've got that in my head now. Now, all of a sudden the pandemic hits and say, oh yeah, okay, you guys, let's help us now. Okay. We know who you are. We trust you. Take it from there. Clarence.

Thank you. Hopefully health chatter helps that. you could certainly use this as a mechanism to get your ideas and thoughts out, even on different thematic things in the field of public health. All you have to do is raise your hand to Stan and Clarence and say, hey, we need to do a show with you on whatever, and we'll be happy to help in that way to be able to get more people

education out, not only from a student level, but community level, professional level, continuing education level, whatever it may be. Last thoughts, Clarence.
