The School of Public Health and Information Sciences is pleased to announce that Megan L. Ranney, MD, MPH, Dean of the Yale School of Public Health, will be the 2025 Woodson Lecturer.
Dr. Ranney, who also holds the C.-E.A. Winslow Professorship of Public Health (Health Policy) and is a Professor of Emergency Medicine, will speak on bringing a public health approach to the nation’s gun violence epidemic.
Her research focuses on preventing violence and related behavioral health issues, with particular attention to the role of social media and digital tools.
Elected to the National Academy of Medicine for her groundbreaking work in firearm injury prevention and digital health, Dr. Ranney co-chairs the NAM Firearm Injury Prevention Special Interest Group, serves on the planning committee for the NASEM Forum on Gun Violence Prevention, and leads the selection committee for the National Academies' Eric and Wendy Schmidt Awards for Excellence in Science Communication.
Join us over lunch for this important and timely conversation.
