🚨New Pub Alert🚨 @sociologylauren.bsky.social and I have a new paper out in SRE today! In "Zero-sum or Coalition? A Dyadic Approach for Testing Discrimination’s Impact on Perceptions of Ethnoracial Outgroups" we use perceptions of discrimination to examine racial group relations. Here's a 🧵!

For my NIH focused peeps, think this through if you have not yet done so. All extramural support keeps your University vibrant. Loss of NSF etc will just pressure other sources of funding including NIH IDC and DC.

This is a VERY competitive opportunity. Lots of talk on “brain drain” from the US, and this is clear evidence that other countries are taking notice! Just because we are told that science is not a part of our mission, doesn’t mean the need stops. Keep doing good work, someone will see the value!

Lifestyle interventions that surround individual behavior are a lot easier to implement if we support this! Activity, healthy eating, etc. are very important! But the infrastructure necessary is expensive and requires inclusivity! Cutting funding + demonizing inclusivity does not support health!

“When I applied to graduate schools in 2020 as an undergraduate senior, equity was deemed a priority in health research... Now, in 2025, the topics that I was told were a long-term institutional priority are divisive…”

Researchers are facing new, challenging circumstances that make our efforts to improve population health harder. The current environment makes conducting research to achieve more equity unstable at best. Thanks @milbankfund.bsky.social @iaphs.bsky.social for giving me and others a space to share!

Check out personal stories from #pophealth scientists about how drastic federal funding cuts are affecting scientific progress & junior researchers' careers. This includes several stories from people here @hsph.harvard.edu who lost all federal funding, including my team's story. @iaphs.bsky.social

When interviewing for Ph.D. programs in 2021, I never mentioned department Chair as my dream career path. I usually said “Sanjay Gupta.” He was at the forefront of providing medical expertise for traditional TV. Media matters more than ever, and we need more experts meeting people where they are!

Unexpected crossover. One of my favorite IG style accounts featured Dr. Keith Churchwell, a man whose style I've admired for 20 years. Dr. Churchwell's tailor is Leonard Logsdail, who made clothes for The Wolf of Wall Street and American Gangster. IG ladiesofmadisonave

Over one in four (27%) physicians and surgeons at U.S. hospitals, rising to one in three in FL (37%), CA (33%), NY (33%), and TX (31%), are immigrants. Policies aimed at restricting immigration could negatively impact the health and well-being of Americans. @kff.org www.kff.org/racial-equit...

Have we lost the plot so much that we need to question if it is controversial or will ruffle feathers to acknowledge the history of slavery in this country, and the consequences that we are currently facing from it? Unequal treatment and disparities are happening TODAY, and likely being widened.

The fact that so many people think celebrating the end of slavery in the US is “DEI” is actually clarifying of what they mean when they use DEI. amp.cnn.com/cnn/2025/06/...

Got a conditional acceptance on a 1st author paper today 🥳🥳. The wins are few and far between but I think it’s important to celebrate them when they come! They give us a chance to reflect on why we signed up to be scientists in the first place!

I am not a lawyer, so take my views with a grain of salt. The combo of having to vacate a termination and the legal fees from all of this seems like a big loss. If your goal is cost cutting and “efficiency”, the opposite is happening here. Let’s get back to supporting good ideas reviewed by experts

This is serious, rigorous analysis and it should change the way the media has been covering these protests. These were, in the aggregate, massive.

Interested in social epidemiology but don't have access to formal training, or do you want more than your current training program offers?

I thought the worst thing that could happen when you get a pedicure is they bring out the cheese grater. Today I learned that there’s a whole other tier of bad calluses where they bring out an industrial sander. Happy Friday!

Is Bluesky kind of a bubble? Yes. Is X very much a bubble? Oh hell yes. Is -- wait for it -- LinkedIn? To a degree that would blow your mind, if you spent enough time there. There never has been a single online "town square" -- they all drift toward certain norms.

The rescission of the rescission has been rescinded. So I guess that’s good? 🤡

I’ve been stuck on not only the implications of explicit censorship (like this article highlights), but also selectively highlighting the accomplishments of researchers doing work in “non-controversial” topics. Universities still want to flaunt people doing great work, but WHO gets uplifted…

NEW: The Trump administration said their research did not "enhance health, lengthen life, or reduce illness." Thousands of scientists disagreed. We heard from +150 researchers impacted by the NIH grant terminations on what is being lost in the cuts. 🧵👇 projects.propublica.org/nih-cuts-res...

I think the eagerness to 'diagnose' public figures as narcissists or sociopaths is misdirected. It's certainly easier than admitting that our current social structures reward anti-social behaviors and attitudes.

As @aniloza.bsky.social says so well, "File it under bureaucratic whiplash." NIH rescinds anti-DEI policy only to reinstate it hours later. Was it a mistake? Will it be rescinded again? HHS not answering questions, leaving researchers only more confused. www.statnews.com/2025/06/10/n...

For non-scientists: the funding rate is somewhere between 7% to ~25% (rare) for NIH or NSF grants, depending on where you are applying. Grants are reviewed by a panel of peers who read the grants, score them, then debate the ratings for 1-2 days to rank them. It is INCREDIBLY competitive already.

Today, my NIH colleagues and I did something scary but really important. We spoke up about egregious harms we are seeing happen to research participants and public health through thoughtless and politicized policies at NIH. 🧵1/3 apnews.com/article/nih-...

You’d think that having dramatically few opportunities for health policy researchers would be good. You’d think, “Wow our healthcare system must be in great shape, and there are clearly very few areas that need improvement!” I think something else is going on, can’t quite put my finger on it…
