Health services researcher. I like high quality healthcare (esp trans health 🏳️‍⚧️). I love regional sandwiches.
Feels like a miracle each time we get a new paper out using public data. "Respect, healthcare utilization, and affordability among trans and gender diverse individuals" Epub ahead of print in @journalgim.bsky.social

Conference pro-tip: avoid the lunch hour rush by having lunch when everyone else is at the plenary 😅. #arm25

Nothing like taking out every “problematic” pub and project from your biosketch to make you realize how much you’ve done on a topic. 🫠

I want to take this NIH notice seriously. Grant pulled from study section. But I’m reminded of my ultra unserious username every time I see these letters. 😅

PhD programs need to provide seminars on selecting era commons usernames.

OK. Now that indirects are threatened, we’re finally hearing from University leadership about banding together with others to fight. Instead of memos on how to comply.

Would’ve been nice when trans research and programs were slashed.

But better late and self interested than never?

Bit surreal to have 2 new papers out on care for trans veterans.

And not know if the data or resources we evaluated will still stand next week.

Here’s paper 1: jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...
Mental Health Utilization Among Transgender Veterans
This cohort study examines mental health care utilization among transgender and gender-diverse vs cisgender veterans with depression.

Wow. Got my first rejection notice of 2025 at 1:21 am New Year's Day.

This has to be a record. Happy grant writing to everyone in 2025.

No one tells you how much of academia is grant writing.

And how much of grant writing is looking up the same effort %/ calendar months conversion table.

Simply having a snack has solved my afternoon irritation/restlessness/lethargy.

Which means I now need a new excuse to not do work.

Using an old 💻 for travel and on this outdated MS Word, I can add comments without ctrl + Enter.

Gonna comment the heck out of this (already v good) revision.

Happy Friday from a desk where I refuse to turn up the heat 🫰🏼.

(it’s not that cold, I swear)

Big bowl of pasta for lunch. So I guess I’ll be busy this afternoon “in preparation,” “brainstorming” and “considering next steps.”🥱😴🤫

Watching a K drama. Our detective is ONTO SOMETHING. Bc he’s just seen a pic of a room he recognizes- from when he was a 70 day old BABY 🐣.

This is why I love k dramas.

there’s something v jarring about venting with other Connected Healthcare Friends about how we can’t get vaccines or see pcps

then going back to writing grants & papers assuming a system that’ll somehow play by the rules and implement my small fix to ↗️ healthcare quality.

I’m always on the hunt for good looking #qualresearch posters #smdm23

This beaut had large block text for Background.

Pictographs for Table 1.

& just one quote per theme.

This I Believe: Conference posters should include dumb jokes to reward people who read them. #scicomm #smdm23

Heading to the #SMDM23 first-timers reception in a few! 🤞🏼it’s a real mixer and not an elaborate decision science hazing scheme.

Sweet! Can’t wait for my first #SMDM conference (& bsky conference) at #SMDM23!

Rolling out a privatized vaccine during an active pandemic seems… not great. 🙄

Just got email from Employee Health essentially saying “please get vaccinated but we can’t offer any Covid vaccines. How about a flu shot?”

CVS pharmacist. 7:45 am. Wednesday.
“Ah, you missed the rush. I just vaccinated 10 people.”

You love to see it. 💉😊

So a Taiwanese tv show about a campaign led to IRL #metoo wave in politics.

Actress playings the prez candidate has now chosen as IRL VP candidate.

Not sure what type of chaotic this is. Except very.
