Been quiet here for a few weeks. Mostly that’s because I’ve been busy and overwhelmed with summer classes and conference travel! But I promise that I’m hanging in there and finding rest. ♥️

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.

Was in NYC for 30 minutes and
1. Saw one rat
2. Found $20 in a puddle
3. Took a selfie for proof of life
4. Was verbally harassed to take an Uber by a strange man not in an Uber (Law and Order taught me not to)
Thanks Midtown for the rapid fire NYC experience! See you eventually.
