Very interesting 👀 incredibly important considering the need for a “overamp” reversal and growing popularity of combination opioid / stimulant use

New (v topical) pub with Dr. Fleckman and colleagues! “Getting at the Root: Structural Racism, Policing, and Youth Homicide”.

New open access science❕❕

People living with HIV in New Orleans (N = 69) contributed 14-day micro-longitudinal data.
