Congratulations to C3EN Joyce Chapman Community Grantee John Martin, Assistant Professor of Orthopedic Surgery at Rush University, on receiving an JOR Spine Early Career Research Award and a Spine Section Early-Stage Investigator Award at the Orthopedic Research Society 7th International Spine Research Symposium!
On April 23, 2024 from 6 to 7:30PM, C3EN cohosted a virtual violence prevention town hall with Phalanx Family Services featuring a keynote by Pilot Awardee Chuka Emezue, “Trauma- and Equity-Focused Support for Men and Boys on Both Sides of the Gun.”
At February Town Hall, community members agreed that researchers must take time to be present in the communities they are researching, build trust, and observe people in the environments in which they live.
“Mental health is health,” says C3EN Pilot Awardee Rachel Boutté. “There is no way to separate mental health from physical health because they’re connected in the same way that all of us have a brain that is connected to a body.”
