🚨 I have gotten word that PRAMS will restart (possibly April) Nonetheless, this reinforces several main points: 1. Reliance on Fed efforts (/$) is risky 2. Good partnerships between academic, gov, and community is essential 3. Efforts to build robust epi data systems locally remain critical ✊🏽

Made some slides for scientists to talk about what's been happening & what we should do next. There are probably many people better qualified than me to talk about these issues. If that's you, please, please, please consider holding some virtual advocacy training sessions for researchers this week.

Hi all, I am in contact with a reporter at Science magazine who would like to talk with a trainee or mentor who successfully applied for an equity/DEI-related NIH training grant or a training supplement but have not received the Notice of Award and probably won't get the grant.

Seeing my biggest platform destroyed, then watching many younger women in SciComm have their biggest platforms destroyed is weighing on me. I’ve rebuilt here. I know they can rebuild too. Having our delicate careers subject to billionaire whims has me wishing for a stability I don’t think exists.

We made a website to help find and notify the 60,000 legal NC voters whose votes for the NC Supreme Court race are in peril, due to Jefferson Griffin. Please share - we are hoping to make this go viral and as a small collective, we don’t know how to do that. thegriffinlist.com

There is so much wonderful art made by people who have done terrible things. When I say I love(d) Buffy the Vampire Slayer, I mean I owned multiple DVD boxed sets, went to the singalong at the Coolidge Corner theater until it got shut down, named my dogs Buffy and Rupert Giles... (1/n)
