Despite the relentless attacks on science, I just wish everyone knew how hard scientists work every day to put forth our best ideas, review and improve each other's work, and do the most rigorous science we are capable of to save lives and promote health. Love, your friendly neighborhood scientist.💖

I learned so much from my colleagues and we all truly did our best to steward $60 million in rigorous new research on preventing domestic violence, treating opioid addiction, reducing postpartum depression, supporting survivors, and so much more.

Every single one of my fellow reviewers were unflaggingly thoughtful and we were united in asking one question - Which of these grants is going to do the most for patients and their families? My own grant got rejected before review, and I am honestly delighted I got to review others' grants instead.

Highly recommend healthybinding.com by Frances Reed which also has a "binder finder" resource! And thanks to doodler for the shout out above for our book as well.

The NIH has reached out and I'm hopeful my K01 will be reinstated soon. My R21 application got assigned to review in October. I am celebrating this victory, I am grieving the 8+ months I will never get back, I am glad we are fighting for our right to do the work we are called to do.🔥

...is at the end, where she says, all caps and bold,

IT IS SO ORDERED.

The government must restore our LGBTQ+ health grants and review our applications.

...from a participant who told us binding gave him the freedom to exist. That quote eventually made it into our book Breathe and reminds me every day why we do the work. Grateful to everyone who has shown up for our studies and taught me what matters. ❤️
