Reference excerpt

Renee M. Johnson is an American scientist specializing in the mental health of adolescents and young adults. She researches substance abuse, substance use epidemiology, and violence in marginalized youth including persons of color, LGBTQ, and immigrants. Johnson is an associate professor in the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.

Education Renee M. Johnson completed a B.A. at Spelman College in 1996. She earned a M.P.H. (1998) and a Ph.D. (2004) in the department of health behavior and health education at the UNC Gillings School of Global Public Health. Her dissertation was titled, Psychosocial Factors Associated with Women's Behavioral Intentions to Store Firearms Safely: An Application of the Theory of Planned Behavior. Johnson's doctoral advisor was Carol W. Runyan. Johnson was also a Yerby Fellow at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health from 2004 to 2006.

Career Johnson was an assistant professor at the Boston University School of Public Health from 2009 to 2013. She was also a visiting scientist at the Harvard Injury Control Research Center (2009-2014) and an investigator at the Harvard Youth Violence Prevention Center. Johnson is currently an associate professor in the department of mental health with a joint appointment in epidemiology at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, and a visiting scholar at the Colorado School of Public Health. Johnson researches adolescent health and substance abuse and violence in marginalized groups including persons of color, LGBT youth, and immigrants. In June 2020, Johns Hopkins University was awarded nearly $1M by the PhD Professional Development Innovation Initiative. Monies from the aware will be used to support programs in professional development for PhD students. A portion will be used to fund a four-part event series, on which Johnson collaborated, that provides "current and future doctoral students who are interested in the field of public mental and behavioral health with the range of potential non-academic career pathways".

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Renee M. Johnson

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Renee M. Johnson claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In astronomy, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Renee M. Johnson before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Renee M. Johnson ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Renee M. Johnson

In research: Renee M. Johnson appears in astronomy research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Renee M. Johnson in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Renee M. Johnson is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 20th-century births, 21st-century African-American academics, 21st-century African-American scientists, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Renee M. Johnson outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
