We saddened that Susan Watkins passed away. She is the "mother" of Let's Chat, and we owe to her the legacy that helped create @MLSFHresearch. We are proud to be continuing the work she initiated in 1998. Memories of our times with her stay with us forever. @PennPSC @PennPARC

Mortality risk misperceptions matter! @MLSFHresearch in @PNASNews shows that providing individuals with accurate information about survival risk improves health behaviors 5years after intervention during Covid19. doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2315677…. Great work MLSFH team @PennPARC @KUHeS_mw
Does a better understanding of mortality risks translate into less risky sex? Quite possibly! At least in SSA countries where pessimism about survival is common. See new @MLSFHresearch in the Economic Journal doi.org/10.1093/ej/uead116 Great work @CiancioAlberto and team @PennPARC
