00:00:45.390 --> 00:00:47.880 to capitalize on introduction videos 21 00:00:47.880 --> 00:00:49.020 to share a little bit more 22 00:00:49.020 --> 00:00:51.690 about public health advocacy in action. 23 00:00:51.690 --> 00:00:54.750 Each week I want to highlight an organization 24 00:00:54.750 --> 00:00:58.830 that I feel is doing exemplary public health advocacy work. 25 00:00:58.830 --> 00:01:00.900 This week I wanna talk about Project HOPE, 26 00:01:00.900 --> 00:01:04.560 which is projecthope.org for anyone who wants to learn more. 27 00:01:04.560 --> 00:01:07.890 So Project HOPE

00:01:19.290 --> 00:01:22.440 in one of our modules on the syllabus, 34 00:01:22.440 --> 00:01:24.630 as well as in many public health courses 35 00:01:24.630 --> 00:01:27.060 offered in the MPH program. 36 00:01:27.060 --> 00:01:29.640 Project HOPE works under five different categories, 37 00:01:29.640 --> 00:01:33.300 all working to gain awareness to different disparities, 38 00:01:33.300 --> 00:01:36.540 as well as advocate for and empower changes 39 00:01:36.540 --> 00:01:38.460 in communities to be more resilient 40 00:01:38.460 --> 00:01:40.800 towards healthcare adversities. 41

sure many of you are 58 00:02:25.650 --> 00:02:29.220 who are not familiar with ChatGPT and AI, 59 00:02:29.220 --> 00:02:32.700 on how this discussion of summarizing 60 00:02:32.700 --> 00:02:34.950 an organization and what they do, 61 00:02:34.950 --> 00:02:37.170 their mission and some of their work translates 62 00:02:37.170 --> 00:02:40.530 onto asking AI or ChatGPT. 63 00:02:40.530 --> 00:02:41.640 So for extra points 64 00:02:41.640 --> 00:02:44.340 for anyone who is comfortable fulfilling this, 65 00:02:44.340 --> 00:02:46.740 I would love to hear if there was any differences 66 00:02:46.740 --> 00:02:49.140 between what you wrote about an organization 67 00:02:49.140 --> 00:02:51.810 and what ChatGPT generated. 68 00:02:51.810 --> 00:02:54.690 Please feel free to share some examples and commentary, 69 00:02:54.690 --> 00:02:57.000 and you have a chance for bonus points. 70 00:02:57.000 --> 00:02:59.850 As always, I'm here as a resource for you. 71 00:02:59.850 -->
