@thewellbeingscientist: science isn’t just microscopes and petri dishes. it’s also about studying the people and places that shape the world around us cue: the social determinants of health and disease. we’re living through a political moment that treats knowledge like a buffet, we accept the physics that powers our smartphones, but deny the social science that explains our neighbour’s pain. we’ve watched basic history banned from classrooms and public-health data called “fake news.” This isn’t just an attack on facts; it’s an attack on our collective self-awareness—our ability to look in the mirror and ask, “How are we doing, really?” so when someone dismisses wellbeing research, they reveal a comfort with systems that measure productivity but not peace. They also reveal why we need this work more than ever: because what we don’t measure, we can’t improve—and what we don’t value, we risk losing. #phdstudent #healthscience #socialdeterminantsofhealth #publichealth #healthandwellnessjourney #healthandwellbeing
