Hi, Dr. Ruvvy here!

If we have ever communicated through email, you may have noticed that I always sign my emails ‘With gratitude,’.

To me, this is a reminder to myself to do everything with gratitude:

For the people I work with
For the mentors who support me
For the stakeholders we aim to serve through our research

With gratitude, for YOU!

Thank you for tuning in to this newsletter every week.
Thank you for sharing your feedback, questions, and ideas.
Thank you for being apart of our growing community.

You help us grow stronger and more resilient!

We hope this inspires you to reflect on what you are thankful for as well. Reply to this email and share with us!

Giving Tuesday

Giving Tuesday is this Tuesday, December 2^nd.

In a season of spending and gifting, giving Tuesday is a reminder for us to give back.

We invite you to consider donating to the Ruvvy Resilience Lab this Giving Tuesday.

Your donation supports three core activities:

Our volunteer team members who create our newsletters, YouTube videos, podcasts, and social media posts (Naga Alyamani, Miracle Craft, and Edmund Alyn Jones).
Our 8-person community advisory board, who meets with us quarterly on a volunteer basis to share feedback and insights that guide our research directions in alignment with stakeholder wants and needs.
Our annual collaboration with Brain Day at the Michigan Science Center, to support free admission for students at schools across the Detroit metro region, like Chandler Park Academy.

Help Support Science Content & Communication

Our team is so excited to get the word out to the people we serve and inform for FREE … and your support will allow us to put more resources and energy into doing precisely that.

Your donations help fund the creation of content that translates our research into practice.
