I wrote a whole thing on Threads about this (follow me at lkwhite_wi as I attempt to move my social media-ing that way), but let me just repeat here that I'm so thankful @JennyPeek88 is reporting on the challenges this industry — and the families who need it — are facing.

Scott Crawford's research, based in @uwmadKines, aims to transform rehabilitation practices and decrease reinjury rates for athletes who struggle with hamstring injuries. education.wisc.edu/news/new-…
Such a well done piece about why so many girls and young women crave and deeply appreciate Taylor Swift's work. So much of the coverage of Swifties (& more casual fans) is judgmental and condescending — it's so refreshing to see genuine insight. nytimes.com/2023/06/17/opini…

A school program for teen parents in Madison is facing major changes — a longtime partnership and new research from @UWMadEducation occupational therapy students & faculty is helping in a big way. My story: education.wisc.edu/news/uw-m… (@uwmadOT, @uwmadKines)
This story was a joy to write and truly shows how researchers and academic work can make a "real world" difference. Learning about the supportive relationship between OT and Capital High Parenting was inspiring. Also — please enjoy the adorable toddler photos. (LOOK AT AYLA! <3)
These cheeks think you should read about how important the Capital High Parenting program is, and how the program is navigating some big changes with the help of @UWMadEducation.
Okay, you may continue your Thursday now. :)

Reminder! I want to hear how you’ve been affected by the end of legal abortion in Wisconsin.
If you’ve never talked to a reporter before, I’d be happy to explain how it all works before we do an actual interview. I know it’s a sensitive topic and I will respect that.
