Bridgette M. (Brawner) Rice, PhD, MDiv, APRN, FAAN, delivered the keynote, Bitten by the Bug: The Joys and Impact of Nursing Research, at the University of Minnesota's 2023 Nursing Research Day on April 14.

“We are really at a key and pivotal time in our nursing history,” said Rice. “I think we are in a reparations period of nursing research where we can no longer ignore the fact that racism, poverty and the way we mistreat people who migrate and immigrate to this country, all of those things matter and people will continue to get sick and die unless we start to tackle those root issues.”

Cognizant of the role of geography in health, Rice spoke about her spatially-based research that explicates and intervenes in factors such as neighborhood disadvantage to prevent disease and promote health equity.
