Congress finally allocated $25M for CDC/NIH research for gun violence prevention. It was great discussing the research topics & process with Rep @rosadelauro @EthansLaw2 @NewtownAction @CAGVNews @LongevityCT @UNewHaven & other researchers, public health professionals & advocates.
An important conversation on campus today: @rosadelauro hosted a roundtable discussion focused on #GunViolence prevention #research that included experts, advocates, and the media. #UNewHaven

.@DavidKennedyNYC: Our ideas about social services were wrong—for 15 yrs, it was GED and a job, and guys did not show up, did not succeed. That was our fault and not theirs. They need protection from enemies, driver's licenses, and food on the table. #GIVE2017 @NYSPublicSafety
