Excited to share I’ve received pilot funding through an R25 to study substance use among youth in the juvenile legal system. The JLS is a key referral source for adolescent substance use treatment, and we need to do a better job at getting youth engaged in services. Looking forward to sharing more!

The only socially acceptable position here regarding AI is that it's total crap and will never improve.
Completely divorced from reality. But Blueskyers don't want to face reality.
I understand that many feel threatened by AI, but denialism and uninformed attacks on experts are counterproductive.

I'm not sure AI is good for humanity. I think it could very well be catastrophic.
But it's useful, for many tasks, and getting better. It's not going away, much as we might like it to.
And the longer we Blueskyers disparage it, the longer we exclude ourselves from the conversation.

My background is in software development. Absolutely, AI can replace entry-level coders today.
AI could replace weaker educators in my sons' schools.
And AI is rapidly improving.
I'd love to discuss how to regulate it and strengthen the social safety net.
Denialism blocks that conversation.

We need to build some real social stigma around being afraid of cities. You don't have to like them or live there, but a politics built this strongly around watching TV and going "ewww" is embarrassing, and people should be embarrassed by it. It's like "fear of werewolves" being your top issue.

An NIH Grant Is Restored, With a Catch: Cut a Study on Trans Youth
HIV scientists were given a choice: eliminate a study of transgender youth or lose a shot to recover a larger series of grants. They chose the former.

Expected at this point but so so disappointing and unfair. We are effectively punishing some of America's best science students for telling the government they are from an underrepresented community.
