I’ve linked to her in the past, but she deserves a whole post. Rosetta Thurman’s blog has a plethora career of advice for young non-profit professionals, including personal branding and how to use social media to advance your career. She has also written a book on how to be a nonprofit career advice.
Some of my favorite posts:

Better health through social networking
MIT studied how your social network influences your health.
What a difference a year makes! Last year I wrote a post on MTV and the Kaiser Family Foundation’s Get Yourself Tested (GYT) campaign. I noted that while the campaign is awesome, I had a hard time finding links to the campaign’s social profiles on Facebook and Twitter.
This year, that has definitely changed! I was just on Facebook and saw Fenway Health posted the Advocate’s article, Shout Your STD Status on Foursquare.
I think a lot of it has to do with how social media has changed in the last year. Facebook has made some great changes like tagging users and fan pages.

Federal agencies can, and should, be the first responders to health questions. Social media can help.
With 85% of American adults carrying cell phones these days, it is time to think about how mobile, social technology can help public health officials do their jobs.
Here are two examples of mobile, social technology and the democratization of health information.
The first example is PatientsLikeMe, a social network for people living with chronic conditions.
The second example is the text message campaign created by Connected Health. The messages were nothing fancy, just a weather report and a reminder to apply sunscreen, yet they increased adherence. What other reminders or alerts can be sent via text messages? How can you enable the sharing of those messages?

Really interesting article in the American Journal of Public Health, Using Seminar Blogs to Enhance Student Participation and Learning in Public Health School Classes.
Conclusions
Small seminar blogs offer opportunities for increasedstudent participation, interaction, and learning. To be mosteffective and appealing, assignments for postings need to allowsufficient time for commentary. This educational technologyhas potential to expand the classroom experience and is worthyof further development and testing.
