My 2nd first-author paper, on predictors of self-stigma among individuals with alcohol use disorder, was accepted today!

Also, on my commute this morning, I captured this special sight. Happy Tuesday all around :)

When you follow a leader, consider what would lead you to withdraw your support.

If the answer is nothing, your integrity is in jeopardy. Your highest loyalty belongs to principles, not people.

No leader deserves unconditional love. Commitment is earned through character.

(I can't accept it as a state employee, but I think the offer alone is worth celebrating!)

Important read on how the attacks on science are going to destroy a generation of scientists and a generation of opportunities to advance science.

❤️ this important piece.
Yes, this is beyond science funding and speaks to the heart of how people become scientists in the first place.

I wrote an op-ed for the Albuquerque Journal about moments that shaped my journey as a young scientist and are being taken away from the next generation of scientists. Because, as any passionate scientist knows, funding is not all that is at stake. www.abqjournal.com/opinion/arti...

2025 just sucks ya'll.

It just sucks.

Everything is complicated and has gotten brutally harder for so many people.

To those who make life easier for folks, thank you. You will be remembered.

A new documentary on PBS shows what it's like to care for adult family members and recounts the history of caregiving policy in the U.S. revealing why those caring for family are often on their own.
Why is caregiving so hard in America? The answers emerge in a new film

Loved working with @hannahcarlon.bsky.social who used critical discourse analysis to assess how US opinion news media portrays harm reduction. Spoilers: Over 80% of opinion media in 2023-2024 was positive, yet stigmatizing language abounds. 50 days free access: authors.elsevier.com/c/1kvxI3PEro...
