Dr. Laura Calloway @lkcalloway.bsky.social · 11/04/2026last time I checked biologics accounted for approx 37 percent of drug spending even though only about 2 percent of the population is using them the most expensive one i've used would cost about 10k/month without insurance (for subcutaneous self injection option) 050

Dr. Laura Calloway @lkcalloway.bsky.social · 02/08/2025Pretty sure you already found a piece but happy to make something in the future if you're interested. :) 010
Dr. Laura Calloway @lkcalloway.bsky.social · 05/05/2025like a huge part of my dissertation was literally, "do you need that feature online... do you need that at all... why?!?" and trying to imagine a world where whatever this hellscape is was not assumed to be inevitable. honestly it was kind of an infuriating set of projects. 0152
Dr. Laura Calloway @lkcalloway.bsky.social · 05/05/2025yep. i used to be able to remember everything without writing it down. at first i thought grad school ruined my brain, and it probably did, but also everything has so many more moving parts for no reason! 1143

Reposted by Dr. Laura CallowayJess McLaughlin, PhD (they/them) @jfmclaughlin92.bsky.social · 21/12/2024It's really important in general (but especially this time of year, with lots of gatherings) to make sure you have *good* options for guests who don't drink. It's not just great for those I'm recovery- it also includes those who don't drink for medical or religious reasons, or just don't want to. 04615

Dr. Laura Calloway @lkcalloway.bsky.social · 01/12/2024i went to the mall (not on Black Friday) for the first time in forever and immediately wanted to leave. too many people and nothing looked good. 110
Dr. Laura Calloway @lkcalloway.bsky.social · 01/12/2024the only places i really want to buy from are small businesses and this is usually the one time they have sales. but then i feel bad for cutting in to their (probably already small) profit margins. 110
Dr. Laura Calloway @lkcalloway.bsky.social · 29/11/2024also, a lot of things really don't need to exist solely online. not everyone has a phone, not everything is accessible with a smart phone, etc. like, i don't really eat in restaurants anymore but a really good example of this is qr code menus. 030
Dr. Laura Calloway @lkcalloway.bsky.social · 29/11/2024this! but also you don't even have to be old(er). needless changes can make using tech incredibly frustrating to people with chronic illness & disabilities (the likelihood of having one or both of these increases with age). certain changes can make tech impossible to use for a variety of users. 1145
Dr. Laura Calloway @lkcalloway.bsky.social · 29/11/2024oh great idea! maybe i will do this for one of your books that I don't already have. :) 110
