I'm Still Not Tired - Larkin Callaghan

Larkin Callaghan recently completed her doctorate in health behavior and public health education at Columbia, focusing on women's health and global health development. With research and program experience in HIV and sexual health, social network building, trauma and violence, drug and alcohol abuse, and how socioeconomic status and history of abuse contribute to health and social mobility, she specializes in women's and adolescent health, population health, communication and social marketing and the health of vulnerable populations - and how they relate to one another. She also works as a UN Correspondent for MediaGlobal, covering issues affecting the least developed countries, with a not-exclusive focus on global health. She posts about public health, sociology and social justice, human rights, research, and gender. She manages the Reproductive Health Daily Tumblr and is a fellow in Health Communication and Epidemiology at Columbia's Mailman School of Public Health, where she writes and uses social and new media to promote research that focuses on health disparities, access and rights. She’s an avid runner and a California loyalist, and also posts longer opinion pieces on I'm Not Tired Yet at https://larkincallaghan.wordpress.com/.

Interesting graph depicting the difference between genders in their interest in running for electoral office. American University researchers did a study that they think explains this divide - thoughts?

Inspiring profile in the NY Times about Korean women who were “comfort women” to Japanese soldiers during WWII, forced into sexual slavery for years. The few women still alive are demanding Japanese government recognition for what they endured and have silently protested in front of the Japanese embassy in Seoul every week for two decades.

Every 7 year-old girl needs a thong (like, I could end the sentence there!), that also broadcasts to the world that they’re diggin’ for gold before they’re even old enough to have a checking account of their own!

The perfect holiday gift for your first grader. The message that baring their buns will be rewarded with a wealthy partner. Cheers!
