A week ago I got to celebrate being the first person in my family (including my husband’s side) to get a graduate degree!! I’m incredibly thankful for my family that flew out to celebrate & the family and friends who joined the ceremony via zoom. Here’s to 3 (or 4) more years until the last one!

For the first time in 25 years the United States is on the brink of losing its measles elimination status due to misinformation about vaccines from RFK Jr.. Measles weakens the immune system and opens doors for other illnesses that can become deadly. #RemoveRFKJr, Save Lives.

On my way to the Supreme Court where I'll be proud to support 15-year-old Becky Pepper-Jackson, West Virginia's only transgender athlete, as she opposes the state's effort to ban her from playing as herself.
Win or lose, Becky and her family are heroes for standing up for what's right

I’m happy to see the new American Cancer Society report showing that the U.S. has reached a historic milestone in cancer survivorship, where 70% of patients live for 5+ years after diagnosis.
But I also see it as a requiem, because the systems that made it happen have been destroyed.

Just now, a national trans healthcare felony ban for youth has passed the US House, with 10 year prison terms.
3 Dems crossed party lines to vote to jail providers.
4 GOP crossed party lines to vote against.
It is not expected to pass the Senate, where Dems hold filibuster power.

This is extremely troubling news for those of us who conduct human subjects research.
RFK is undoing human subjects protections so he can conduct placebo trials of vaccines. That means infecting people knowingly. I wonder who will “volunteer” for these trials? If history is any guide, a lot of incarcerated and other powerless people.
Dismantling the Institutional Review Board (IRB), that oversees all human subjects research, is bad. Really bad.
