Honored to receive my department's SPIRIT Award, given to "someone who is visibly enthusiastic, brings people together, and boosts morale." In a difficult moment for many of us, connection is one of the most powerful things we can offer each other. Showing up for people, even in small ways, matters!

Cannabis has become more legal. It's time to update laws around use by pregnant people

It's time to rethink punitive policies around cannabis use by people who are pregnant.
