BREAKING: A federal judge reversed National Institutes of Health's terminations of hundreds of critical research grants that were canceled because of their alleged connection to disfavored topics, including diversity, equity, inclusion, and gender identity. This is a major win for public health.

The price of eggs in the US is spiking, mostly due to #H5N1 bird flu. Solving the problem requires urgent, important communications from the CDC & FDA* and rapid development of research by the NIH** * Currently paused by Executive Order ** Grant reviews now all canceled www.kcur.org/news/2025-01...

Egg prices are soaring again. Here’s why and what to expect

Professors love to reminisce about how things used to be harder. I've heard things like, "I remember when I had to go to the physical library for every reference in my dissertation." Now I realize I'll be the professor saying, "I had to write my dissertation without AI assistance." 😭🤣 #AcademicSky

Today’s my birthday! As I reflect on the challenges and disruptions happening around us, I’m shifting my focus to inner peace and liberation - for myself and for minoritized communities. I’m making space to let go of what no longer serves me and embracing healing and empowerment. #BlackSky

If people see me and think #DEI, they are focused on my Blackness, maybe my womanhood (both central to me). But to me, it's that plus: - First generation college grad - Invisible disability - From a rural community - Raised in a working-class family Unfortunately, many don't see it though

Submitted my LRP renewal application yesterday! Fingers crossed! We'll see how they respond to all the focus on stigma, discrimination, intersectionality, and oppression (used correctly, of course). This is always at the core of my work. #HealthEquity #PainResearch #SickleCell
