Our @emoryrollins.bsky.social/Ho Chi Minh City UMP team found that sexualized media use was linked to sexual misconduct exposure, behavior, and health in high-school students in Vietnam. We recommend tailored programs to improve young people's well-being in a digital age. medrxiv.org/cgi/content/...

The threat hanging over South African HIV/AIDS researchers for the past week has become a reality: The Trump administration has begun terminating or putting on hold their grants from the U.S. National Institutes of Health.

Congrats Cohort 3 Fogarty/NIH/D43 CONVERGE fellows for completing your 1-month training. @emoryrollins.bsky.social, @georgiastate.bsky.social & global partners supported their learning. Fellows produced strong research proposals & their findings will support violence prevention in Vietnam! Bravo!

I’ve been pressuring the admin to reinstate CDC employees who were recklessly fired. Today, some of these workers were reinstated.

I’ll continue speaking out until ALL our public health workers are back in their jobs so they can resume important work protecting us from diseases like the Avian Flu.

❗ALERT❗ There are 3 congressional seats up for election (FL-1, FL-6, NY-21), 2 with voting starting in 3 weeks (links below). Media has been strangely silent on this 🤔 Congress is 218 R, 215 D. If we pick up 3 seats, we gain control of the House. A major step towards stopping Trump’s agenda
