What does this donkey have to do with #healthcomm? Nothing! But we talk about it on our new podcast episode anyway, along with soft skills, virtual conferences, social media, and writing more effective messages.

And here I am, for the first time in the @ikmz.bsky.social newsletter ✅
"Influencers & Digital Health" has just started and I already feel it’s a blessing ✨... not only for the students (I hope!) but also for me.
It’s amazing how smoothly the healthcomm theories can be explained through TikToks 🎥

Yoonsang’s poster linked influencer tweets to real-world cigar sales. An increase in tweets from high-follower and high-mention accounts was associated with a significant rise in weekly unit sales (~55k to ~220k more units, respectively). #PublicHealth #HealthComm

Some of the CDC's main channels for communicating urgent health information to the public have gone silent.
Diseases are spreading. The CDC isn't warning the public like it was months ago
