Tobacco taxes are a proven win-win: they curb smoking and raise government revenue. So why aren't more policymakers sold? Presented in a hybrid format this month, this Innovations in Tobacco Control special event welcomes Johns Hopkins Research Professor Jeffrey Drope for a lecture titled "Making a Stronger Case for Health Taxes."

Charles W. Mathias, from the Texas Consortium for the Non-Medical Drivers of Health and Rice University's Center for Health Policy, will give a talk titled "Practical Advocacy for Busy Scholars: How and Why it Matters for Your Career" for the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Equity.

Celebrate Constitution Day with small group discussions about the Constitution's lasting impact on our society, the importance of understanding court interpretations, and how we can each contribute to constructive dialogue about the role of the Constitution in our daily lives.

It has been five years since the start of COVID-19, and the world is still reckoning with its impact: millions of lives lost, strained health systems, and divisions that continue to shape our politics and daily lives. Public health agencies like the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and World Health Organization (WHO) were asked to respond to fast-moving science and intense uncertainty while societies faced the challenge of trust, misinformation, and compliance with evolving guidance.

In recent months, the field of global health has been marked by funding disruptions involving vital data systems, policies, and processes. This dialogue asks how we, as teachers, researchers, and practitioners in global health, can seize this moment to shape a future where global health is defined by equity, shared leadership, and strong community voices—and to chart a practical pathway toward that future.

This workshop is for people who want to learn R, an open-source software for statistical computing and graphics, but have little or no experience in any programming languages.
