A Johns Hopkins postdoc, Herbert Baxter Adams, brought the seminar method of teaching from Germany, where he earned a PhD in 1876. The idea: That students would learn more by doing than by listening to lectures and taking exams.

College sports | 2024 maryland primary: live returns from baltimore, congressional races, school boards, college sports | johns hopkins men’s lacrosse eyes first final four in 9 years behind dependable garrett degnon, graduate student attackman’s 45-game streak of at least one goal is the longest active nationally.

Jacob Angelus, a fellow graduate student attackman, can attest.

“He is a scary shooter when he has his hands free and is able to see the net and get that shot off fast,” Angelus said. “It’s definitely tough for the goalies, and I wouldn’t want to be one of them.”

Opponents have had a difficult time preventing Degnon’s shots from finding the net. The Harwood native is tied for eighth among all NCAA Division I players in goals per game at 2.9, and his 45-game streak of at least one goal is the longest active run nationally.

As pivotal as Degnon’s ability to score is, Johns Hopkins coach Peter Milliman said he appreciates Degnon’s dependability.

“He’s as consistent as anybody I’ve ever worked with,” he said. “He shows up every day to work at practice, he shows up on game day, and he’s consistently making the same type of plays that are really challenging to defend.”

Degnon’s path to lacrosse was paved before him. His father George was a defenseman at Air Force from 1986 to 1988 and his older brother, also named George, was an attackman at Colorado State from 2015 to 2016.

But in the summer of 2015 after his freshman year of high school, Degnon got ill after dining at a crabhouse in Ocean City. He was diagnosed with salmonella, was hospitalized for two nights, and lost about 25 pounds from his 6-foot-4, 185-pound frame, forcing him to miss three lacrosse tournaments.

“It wasn’t like I was in an excruciating amount of pain,” he recalled. “It was more of just a hassle. I lost a ton of energy and was unable to play, which stunk.”

The next summer, Degnon contracted mononucleosis, and doctors kept him away from lacrosse as a result of a swollen spleen caused by the illness. The virus also contributed to two bouts with abscesses, which required doctors to slice the roof of his mouth to drain excess liquid. Eventually, his tonsils were removed, but he lost some of the weight he had regained after overcoming salmonella.

The frequency of health issues in back-to-back summers alarmed Degnon. “I did continually ask myself, ‘Why am I always getting sick?’” he said.

Fortunately, Degnon recovered quickly enough to shift from attack to midfield for his junior and senior years, which drew interest from Johns Hopkins. In his first three years at Homewood Field, he lined up in the midfield, compiling 34 goals and three assists in 22 games, including nine starts.

But before the sixth game of the 2022 season, Degnon was moved to attack to replace senior midfielder Brendan Grimes, a Lutherville native and Boys’ Latin graduate who had broken his wrist. Since then, Degnon has amassed 117 goals and 15 assists in 43 games — all of which he started.

While Milliman quipped that he “should probably have my head looked at” for waiting almost a season-and-a-half to play Degnon on attack, the latter took a pragmatic view.

“I think the attackmen should be your best offensive players, and when I was younger, there were guys on our offense who were certainly better than me,” he said. “So I felt like they deserved the right to be on the field all the time.”

Offensive coordinator John Crawley pointed out that Degnon’s goals have been timely. Degnon and sophomore midfielder Matt Collison are tied for the most goals by Blue Jays players in the fourth quarter or overtime periods this spring with 12 each.

“The moment is never too big for Garrett, and he does a great job of remaining poised so that he can do his job and show up when he needs to,” Crawley said. “His productivity when we need him has been through the roof, and that’s the cornerstone of a kid who is tough-minded, competitive and a leader.”

Degnon’s career total of 159 goals is tied with Ryan Brown for second place on the program’s all-time ledger, and his 179 points rank 15th. But accolades like that and the goal-scoring streak aren’t a top priority for him.

“I’ve never been chasing that,” he said. “Just the way I play, my teammates do all of the hard work and beat their men and draw slides, and I am fortunate enough to have the teammates that I do because the goals come because of them. I catch and shoot.”

Both Crawley and Milliman insisted that Degnon is not simply a goal scorer. Milliman noted that Degnon ranks fourth on the team in ground balls with 32 and has only seven turnovers this season.

“That’s really crazy for an attackman who plays 60 minutes of every game,” he said. “That just doesn’t happen. Everyone just assumes he’s an off-ball shooter. He’s highly productive in multiple areas.”

Another quality has been Degnon’s leadership as a two-time co-captain. ESPN analyst and former Johns Hopkins goalkeeper Quint Kessenich credited Degnon as one of several players who shepherded the transition from former coach Dave Pietramala to Milliman between the 2020 and 2021 seasons.

“He helped lead a group from 4-9 [in 2021] back to the NCAA Tournament and back to winning,” Kessenich wrote via text. “He deserves a lot of credit for that impact in the locker room. It’s not easy to fix what’s broken. His ultimate mark on the program is deeper than goals. He redirected the ship — spun it back into the right direction — and that may be more lasting.”

If the Blue Jays (11-4), the No. 3 seed in the NCAA Tournament, hope to defeat No. 6 seed Virginia (11-5) in Sunday’s quarterfinal at 2:30 p.m. at Towson’s Johnny Unitas Stadium, Degnon will likely need to score at his usual rate. He said he has embraced that expectation as Johns Hopkins seeks its first Final Four appearance since 2015.

“I don’t really think of it as a lot of pressure,” he said. “I honestly think it’s a privilege to be in this position.”

Anti-semitic attitudes of the mass public: estimates and explanations based on a survey of the moscow oblast.

In this article we examine anti-Semitism as expressed by a sample of residents of the Moscow Oblast (Soviet Union). Based on a survey conducted in 1920, we begin by describing anti-Jewish prejudice and support for official discrimination against Jews. We discover a surprisingly low level of expressed anti-Semitism among these Soviet respondents and virtually no support for state policies that discriminate against Jews. At the same time, many of the conventional hypotheses predicting anti-Semitism are supported in the Soviet case. Anti-Semitism is concentrated among those with lower levels of education, those whose personal financial condition is deteriorating, and those who oppose further democratization of the Soviet Union. We do not take these findings as evidence that anti-Semitism is a trivial problem in the Soviet Union but, rather, suggest that efforts to combat anti-Jewish movements would likely receive considerable support from ordinary Soviet people.

‘The Heart of What KM is All About’

• May 15, 2024
• By Erin Broas

Erin Broas is a Master of Science in Public Health (MSPH) Candidate in Health Education and Health Communication at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, in the Department of Health, Behavior and Society. She recently won the 2024 University Experiential Learning Outstanding Graduate Student of the Year Award for her work with the Johns Hopkins Center for Communication Programs-led Knowledge SUCCESS project, where she has been working since February 2022, first as a student intern, then completing her field placement requirement with the project, and now working as a student program specialist. Here, she shares some of her experiences.

I have had the privilege of working for Knowledge SUCCESS for more than a year now, a period that has allowed me to grow in my role, to use my skills in communications, event planning and facilitation, and to engage in work that meaningfully protects and advances public health. 

Prior to working at Knowledge SUCCESS, I had little formal expertise in knowledge management (KM), a systematic approach to collecting, curating, and sharing knowledge. However, this work has strengthened an existing passion for ensuring individuals have access to the information they need to work and live effectively – the heart of what KM is all about.

In August 2023, I traveled to Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, where I supported a knowledge sharing event on integrating COVID-19 vaccination into primary health care. I helped manage registration activities, troubleshoot problems and took photos and videos to document the event. This was both an extension of work I had done collecting and curating resources on the global COVID-19 vaccination response and a humbling opportunity to learn from professionals actively shaping and driving COVID-19 integration forward, including partners and representatives from USAID, UNICEF, WHO, and Ministries of Health from 11 countries. 

I learned from every stage of the planning and implementation processes. Through the agenda setting process, I better understood the tools for structuring learning in engaging participatory ways. One approach I found particularly impactful was Troika Consulting, an activity where individuals meet in small groups to ask each other for help on a challenge they are facing and receive advice from their peers. 

During the event itself, I witnessed the swapping of stories – of experiences, successes, and challenges – about COVID-19 vaccination integration across regions and contexts. Post-event, I helped gather what was shared into a report of best practices, lessons learned, and insights that could be shared beyond the attendees of the Tanzania event. 

What I took away from this experience was a reminder of the power and necessity of creating spaces for collaboration and peer-to-peer learning. While the participants were all already shaping and driving COVID-19 integration and response in their individual countries, it was incredible to see how enthusiastic they were to work together and to glean what they could from listening to each other’s experiences. 

At Knowledge SUCCESS, I have also been part of NextGen Reproductive Health (RH), a community dedicated to adolescent and youth reproductive health (AYSRH). As a member of the coordinating team, I have connected with professionals across Africa and Asia to facilitate trainings on topics ranging from youth and adolescent access to accurate sexual and reproductive health information to behavioral science for better AYSRH programs. We also engaged young professionals in co-creating a training module on meaningful youth engagement that reflects participants’ insights into what KM tools are most relevant for youth working on sexual and reproductive health.

From conducting literature reviews and writing blogs to facilitating virtual and in-person meetings and trainings, my work at Knowledge SUCCESS has both challenged and fulfilled me. As I look toward graduation and to future work in public health, I will be carrying the lessons and experiences I have gained with me. I am also immensely grateful to my supervisors Anne Ballard Sara and Anne Kott, as well as Erica Nybro, Sara Mazursky, Natalie Apcar, and Brittany Goetsch for their continual support, trust, and guidance.

Each year the Johns Hopkins Vaccine Initiative (JHVI) hosts Vaccine Day to highlight the advancements in vaccine research by inviting a distinguished scientist to deliver a keynote address on the current status of topics ranging from dengue, rotavirus, COVID-19, measles, and more.

The inaugural Vaccine Day held in 2008 officially launched the JHVI, and 14 Vaccine Day events have been hosted since. Led by Professor Ruth Karron , Vaccine Day works to promote and foster current vaccine research at the Bloomberg School. 

This year, Vaccine Day featured two keynote speakers. First Gabriela Paz-Bailey, MD, PhD, MSc, DTM&H, the Chief of the Dengue Branch in the Division of Vector-Borne Diseases from the National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases (NCEZID) at the CDC, discussed the basics of dengue transmission and pathogenesis, factors contributing to the increasing global burden of disease from dengue, current outbreak trends, and the current testing and treatments for dengue infections. 

Anna Durbin, MD, a professor and the Director of the Center for Immunization Research in the Department of International Health shared the history of dengue vaccine research, an overview of currently available dengue vaccines, her ongoing research developing new vaccines, and the challenges around vaccine implementation and surveillance.

A panel discussion followed with the keynote speakers and two additional vaccine experts, Rupali Limaye, PhD ’12, MPH, MA, an associate professor in the GDEC Program in the Department of International Health and 2nd year MSPH student Morghan Park . During the panel, attendees had the opportunities to ask questions about dengue vaccine research and implementation, issues around vaccine hesitancy, and the importance of improving communication and trust around vaccines within communities.

The event also hosts a poster session that showcases vaccine-related research by students and faculty at the Bloomberg School. Each year this session brings about a rich forum of discussions and knowledge sharing around ongoing research and awards the top 3 student poster presentations. This year over 40 posters were displayed by faculty, staff, and students. The 2024 poster winners are:

1st Place: Binh Nguyen, Zhengrong Li and Samandika Saparamadu – “To Subsidize or Not to Subsidize: The Cost-Effectiveness of RSV Vaccination Among Infants in the U.S.”

2nd Place: Molly Sauer and Prachi Singh – “Characterizing Potential Acceptability of Maternal RSV Vaccination in Kenya: A Latent Class Analysis Approach”

3rd Place: Laura St Clair – “mTOR Activation is associated with greater protective antibody responses following Influenza Vaccination in Young Adult Female compared to Male Mice”

Finally, the new cohort of PAVE Scholars was announced during the event. PAVE, Program in Applied Vaccine Experiences , supports vaccine-focused internships for Johns Hopkins students at international organizations that hold critical roles in global vaccine policy and delivery. Students spend 12 to 16 weeks working full time at one of the partner organizations, gaining valuable experience in vaccine research, policy, and programs of global importance. The outstanding PAVE Scholars 2024 cohort is:

Kedest Mathewos (PhD, Health Systems): Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance
