The Trump administration is scrubbing the CDC’s website of documents on reproductive rights issues, sexual health, intimate partner violence, and more.

I'm trying to save them.

You can find the deleted docs at cdcguidelines.com - I'll be adding more over the weekend.

I thought I’d do a new intro since I plan to be on this app more. I’m Allison 👋🏼 I recently earned my Ph.D. in developmental psychology and just started a job as an Assistant Professor of Psychology in August. In my spare time I love to crochet, read, and, go to concerts.

Hello! 👋 Finally making the transition over to Blue Sky! Wanted to introduce myself in this new space. My name is Allison and I am a PhD candidate studying Applied Developmental Psychology at UMBC. I study undergraduate STEM student motivation and perceptions of support using an intersectional lens.
