Getting this unprompted email from a participant absolutely made my day and gave me a much needed reminder on the role of research in participants' lives, even from something as simple as a daily diary study. Posting with permission from a participant:
Hi Nina, I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude for the survey program you run and the support you provide to people in early recovery like myself. Participating in your nightly survey has been more than just a routine for me it’s been a lifeline. Living in a sober living community and facing weeks of financial hardship while searching for a job has been incredibly challenging. The Amazon gift cards I received for participating in the survey each week made a real difference in my life. They allowed me to purchase the necessities I needed to get by, and that support meant more to me than I can truly express. Your dedication and the care you show through this program have helped me tremendously during a difficult time. I am genuinely grateful for everything you’ve done for me since the survey began. Your efforts are appreciated more than words can say. Thank you again for all that you do. With sincere appreciation,

News from yesterday's UNM rally supported by @standupforscience.bsky.social with @faheypsych.bsky.social @matwmccool.bsky.social and @monizlewis.bsky.social! Great shot of Ikela speaking (feat. me in the background taking videos as if I'm Regina George's mom) @insidehighered.com
Newspaper article with headline "Protesters gather for 'National Day of Action for Higher Education' at UNM" featuring two images, one of a speaker with a microphone, and another of the crowd holding signs that read "Science Not Silence" and other remarks about keeping ICE off campus.

Feeling particularly grateful to have had the chance to end the #CPA2025 conference and march in the Hands Off! rally today in Providence, RI with thousands of others to continue to stand up for science and public goods. @standupforscience.bsky.social @sufsnewmexico.bsky.social

Had an amazing time at #CPA2025! So much fun with colleagues talking about how cannabis legalization, specifically state-level implementation decisions, impacts public health outcomes. @cassie-boness.bsky.social
