Here’s why 🧵

I’m a Harvard-trained epidemiologist.
In the past decade:
✔️ Mentored 75+ rising health leaders
✔️ Published 100+ peer-reviewed papers
✔️ Ranked top 10% in NIH funding across Harvard
✔️ Built one of the largest LGBTQ health research programs in the world 🏥
I don't say this to brag...
Now, it’s all been erased — because it’s no longer “aligned with agency priorities.”
Dangerous for every American who relies on evidence-based health care
But that’s not what hurts most
What hurts is this: vital, life-saving LGBTQ research is now in the trash — defunded, silenced, erased
Another studied suicide risk in queer youth under anti-LGBTQ laws 🧒
It’s about whether truth 🧬 will survive in a democracy 🗳️ — or if science will be rewritten by ideology 📉
That’s why I'm filing a federal lawsuit ⚖️ against RFK Jr. & the NIH
