Connecticut now has the strongest #mentalhealth parity enforcement legislation in the country. Proud to host state leaders for today’s bill signing and contribute to this important bill.

Home is not
just where we are from
but what we choose to build
line by line
brick by brick
memory by memory
even across borders.
Happy (complicated) #CanadaDay

What is home if not a place that exists only in interstitial memory? A mirage. A blurry image of something that will never materialize. A destination one will never reach.

Every physician carries the residue of our work in our veins
We carry the sorrow
We carry the grief
We also learn to let it out
We learn to laugh and cry at the same time
We learn to love and be loved
We learn to give ourselves space and grace
Thanks to #thePitt for a brilliant season

Our paper explores how researchers can better recognize and navigate the emotional dimensions of doing inquiry that matters.
Because when we ignore these feelings, we risk misunderstanding not only ourselves—but also our work.

Happy New Year everyone!
2024 has been a year of ups and downs. This past year will always be remembered as the year we lost my Dad.
Thinking of all those carrying the heaviness of grief into 2025 and praying for a lighter year full of health and happiness for all of us.

Since bluesky seems more academic I wanted to share here that I finally had a chance to meet Jack Dovidio. His work was a huge inspiration for my PhD thesis. I shared that I went from being a social scientist to a health leader to leverage my role and make meaningful/sustained change in healthcare.
