Heads up to faculty: Consider introducing your program's job market candidates in random order or, better, separate tweets.
The drop off in views and engagement in long threads is dramatic, so early-alphabet names tend to get more attention!

Unfortunately, RFK Jr. is exactly the kind of politician who resonates with people with poor health and disabilities.
This population tends to gravitate towards anti-establishment politicians who promise a "fix."

This isn’t just a review of exciting research, done by two fantastic scholars. It’s also very, very important stuff that helps explain some of what’s been going wrong in politics - distrust, radicalization - and things health policymakers and clinicians can do to address it.
