When my son and husband include me on the group text about today's @OhioStateFB game.

The @OhioBWC puts on a great conference each year. But this year they're bringing in @wendytroxel to talk about sleep - so I'm really looking forward to it! Great line up, BWC. Sleep is a game-changer for physical and mental health.

“We need a few Ohio senators or representatives to step up and be the hero and introduce legislation like Florida and California did,” Simera said. “I will be more than happy to help any of those heroes if they want to introduce that kind of legislation.”

If you need ethics CEs, I'm conducting my "Top 5 Online Ethical Mistakes" workshop for Cleveland State University on May 3rd - virtual - 9am to 12:15pm.

Registration is now open for the Ohio State University Addiction Studies Institute conference July 17-19. I'll be presenting on the role of sleep in addiction and sobriety on the first day.

Registration is open for the Trumbull County, Ohio Alliance for Substance Abuse Prevention Summit on Friday May 17th. I'll be one of the presenters, discussing the research on the role of sleep in substance abuse prevention and relapse management.

I look forward to hearing more progress on @NvstateED efforts to protect student health and wellness by promoting later school day start times for teens. It's a smart fiscal decision as well.

It was nice being interviewed about the Nevada proposal, but I'd like my next interview to be about Ohio. Any lawmakers in our great state ready to be the hero of student health and fiscal responsibility? @GayleManningOH @brennerforohio @DrVernonSykes @DrGailPav @steve4ohiohouse

Experts worry about the rise in problem gambling in Ohio:

SB 83 could jeopardize Ohio degrees & licensure. See OAC 4757-19-01(C)(6) on licensure requirements in Ohio which includes diversity educ. And see OAC 4757-3-01(M) that equates cultural competence to ethics. @SenatorCirino @cingram32 @BillReineke @_Reynolds4US @NASWOhioChapter
