It was an honor to go back to @michigantech.bsky.social and give the King-Chavez-Parks Visiting Professor Lecture on #stemcareers, #entrepreneurship, #nonprofits, and being an #author. I also touched on #neurodivergence. It is great to see cancer research and the students were great. #speaker

It was an honor to be invited to speak today to the H-STEM faculty and T32 grad students at @michigantech.bsky.social about #nonacademiccareers, #entrepreneurship, #stemcareers, #nonprofit and being an #author. They asked such great questions

Our Founders 3 year term on the PCORI Advisory Panel on Comparative Clinical Effectiveness Research has just ended. They sent this plaque. PCORI does a great job of bringing together stakeholders to advance #clinicalresearch, ensure that patient-voice is centered, and fund research others avoid.

Sometimes life throws you curveballs, and getting down is easy, but how you get back up is important. Our challenge turned into writing a book. It's about navigating a world when you don't fit in spaces. Oct 13 #blackauthors #adhd #mentorship #misread #leadership Tinyurl.com/TooMuchAndNotEnoughBook

#Science Friday was about medical records. Does how you write your message to your clinician impact the likelihood of them responding? Tang and colleagues recent paper in JAMA Network Open suggests yes. #digitalhealth #patientportals #insurance #healthequity

#Science Saturday is on #neuroscience and #aging. There was just a presentation at FENS about whether speaking multiple languages reduces the relative age of the brain. Those that spoke 4 languages had brains that appeared 13 years younger.

Laney and colleagues just published NIOSH surveillance data that shows that #blacklung rates are up to 32.5% in coal miners in Appalachia w/ more than 25 yrs experience. Silica dust is a contributing factor. #publichealth #occupationalhealth

#Science Sunday. There is a new NJP Digital Medicine article by Harrison and colleagues that look at randomized #clinicaltrial outcomes across 5400 studies between 2010-2024. Some required internet access and self owned devices. Are we still expanding the digital divide?

Innovation becomes impact only when people can access it. SCHEQ focuses on the “how” behind access: health literacy, navigation, and trusted partnerships that reduce delays and missed care. Equity lives in the details.

🎙️ Just wrapped a fantastic conversation with Daniel Lucas. We looked at AI's impact on healthcare. The conversation took some fascinating turns, especially when we explored: "How AI algorithms might miss diverse populations, affecting early disease detection." Full episode is coming soon!

Who counts as a “professional” now? Recent US loan rule changes keep a tiny list of fields (medicine, law, etc.) as “professional” and push out nursing, SLP, social work, education, public health + more. That shrinks equity-focused career pipelines. #healthequity #studentloans #STEMM

Part of our why is helping diverse and underserved patients navigate medical care, #advocate for care they are entitled to, and how to address #medicalracism.

What is one reason we were founded? To help underserved populations navigate care and battle #medicalracism.

Jim gave a great summary of the challenges that US Veterans face navigating #lungcancer. One big takeaway is that the decisions on who is "exposed" to carcinogens can change based on location. #LCIS2025 #SCHEQ
