Today I lost an NIH grant training clinicians to do research about intimate partner violence with perinatal women.
More women are murdered in the perinatal period than die of obstetric complications.
I didn't just lose a grant. We lost an entire cohort of people building careers to prevent that.

If you'd consider wearing a mask again, it doesn't have to be all or nothing. Highly recommend doing so on public transit, healthcare settings (including pharmacies) and grocery stores.

Every vaccine already requires informed consent by law. This is pure antivaxx disinformation, now coming from the CDC.

Fact: DEI policies level the playing field and are still very much legal.

How do we close out a Valentine’s Day such as this. By saying we’re proud. Only 423 of us took the fork offer. And while Trump and Musk slashed 1 in 10 of us this week, others found a way to keep on working. Because unlike them, we take our oaths seriously. Take time to grieve. Don't give up hope. 🥄
