Third culture kids problems #TCKproblems include saying phrases like "holding thumbs" for decades thinking it's a universal saying but actually is very much only a South African saying

My NIH Loan Repayment Application stayed on "Pending IRG Review," meaning it was never reviewed. It was also not funded. My student loan repayment costs more than my MORTGAGE!! (over 30% of take home salary). Although I am committed to health disparities research, this is a burdensome price to pay.

What a wild switcheroo to go from telling your new employer that you're the best candidate to begging for guidance on how to navigate tenure and be the most insecure version of yourself 😆

Looks like someone used ChatGPT to prepare a report!

Omg...is it coming!?

That Spotify Deep Focus playlist wasn't playing around! It got my attention into the ZONE!

So excited to present during the DADR Webinar!!!

During a psych #mentalhealth clinical, I fell in love with coloring again. This #coloring book is such a great way to #learn more about #LGBTQIA+ history while de-stressing! www.glsen.org/sites/defaul...

TLDR: Twitter starting sucking before DOGE; jump ship!

"It has nothing to do with the controversies surrounding owner Elon Musk and his chaotic attempts to dismantle much of the federal government. Instead, the site simply isn’t getting anywhere near the engagement levels it once did..." www.bostonglobe.com/2025/03/17/b...

Happy Miami Day! Why is it Miami day? Because the area code is 305 (March 5). Please consider donating to the Florida AIDS Walk for Miami Day- Miami still leads the nation in HIV incidence. #305tillidie!! #FAW

Breaking: Hours after Elon Musk reassured Cabinet that efforts to contain the Ebola outbreak in Uganda had only been “accidentally canceled very briefly,” the Trump administration terminated at least four of the five contracts for Ebola-related work in that country. nyti.ms/4ikHi1Q

Since voters of the Trump administration want to play stupid games- here are your stupid prizes. Hoping that no one has to deal with this...please vaccinate your kids!

I've never really had any major health issues, but I've been ill since early Jan. Flu, sinusitis, strep, and then a severe adverse reaction to antibiotics. I miss feeling healthy, and this longing is compounded by fears of where we're headed as we roll back science, public health, & medicine...

“At the National Institutes of Health, the nation’s premier biomedical research agency, an estimated 1,200 employees — including promising young investigators slated for larger roles — have been dismissed.” Yes. Breaking cancer research. @sherylnyt.bsky.social

This feels so relevant right now.

US politics are just one episode of Arrested Development after another. Trump is George Sr. and Musk is Gob. Or maybe vice versa 😂 now how do I stop binge watching this irl?

At this point, I'm not even studying for my mental health exam- I'm just reflecting on how I'm feeling...Anxiety? I don't struggle with her- she comes very easily to me. 😅

Thank you to everyone who stands with USAID. Share far and wide. Unfortunately we don’t have $40 million to buy up ads during the Super Bowl. Even if we did, we’d use it to support the U.S. economy while feeding kids around the globe. #StandWithUSAID #SaveForeignAid m.youtube.com/watch?v=PqUE...

THIS IS IT. The special general elections for Florida’s 1st & 6th Congressional Districts are on APRIL 1, 2025. If we flip these seats, we can STOP Project 2025. No excuses! Mark your calendars! Show up!

Thank you Mexico and Canada for keeping Mr. T in check!

Interning at USAID in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, showed me the importance of the work that USAID does. Delivering insecticide-treated bed nets to prevent malaria to remote areas of Tanzania, working with clinics to bolster breast cancer awareness and treatment in a country that had only 1 MRI machine,

This #BlackHistoryMonth2025, we join in celebrating the contributions of Black Americans across society & particularly in the workforce. We also pay special homage to the Black social workers who have been leaders in the profession.

“You could open the funding floodgates again tomorrow and you will still have children dying months from now because of this pause,” the scientist said. 😡😡

“A group of researchers and students at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health is gathered today for a data preservation marathon, scraping and downloading data related to health equity from U.S. government agency websites before they disappear.”

This Black History Month, as our communities battle attempts to whitewash history, use us as scapegoats, and undo our civil rights, we must show up louder than ever before. Let us celebrate the Black LGBTQ+ leaders who came before us and let their legacy guide us.

According to a new report from the Washington Post over 3,000 Native children were killed at US-run boarding schools. This estimate is 3x the number cited in a recent federal report. www.washingtonpost.com/investigatio...

🚨Excited to share @chshrader.bsky.social and Dr. Angel Algarin published comments where they discussed their excitement for innovative HIV prevention methods, but concerns exist surrounding what happens to comprehensive care.🚨 #PrEP #HIV Access here: link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Good morning Blue Sky! Will today be a day of "radical optimism" or "pessimistic despair!?" Stay tuned and find out! @melissaertl.bsky.social

Somewhere in the U.S., there’s a scientist staring at their NSF/NIH grant application wondering why they bother. This post is for you. Science and society both need you. Hang in there and know there is a whole community supporting you.

This is garbage, pure and simple. The short version is: 1. White supremacy must be maintained 2. Cis-Het people are the only people.

We owe a debt of gratitude to the thousands of trans servicemembers who’ve risked their lives to protect our country. Donald Trump’s ban on trans people serving in the military is cruel and unconstitutional — and we’ll see him in court. Join the fight back: hrc.im/transmilitaryban

BREAKING: Federal judge temporarily blocks Donald Trump's federal funding freeze

Thanks to AmfAR for analyzing the effects of Donald J. Trump's Stop Work Orders for PEPFAR Programs.

새해 복 많이 받으세요!!!! As we enter the year of the Snake, I am so happy to leave the year of the Dragon behind! I am ready for relief from this difficult year in which "overworked" doesn't even begin to describe my journey... I am hoping this flu will stay behind too! multimedia.scmp.com/infographics...

he identified the demographic that he wants to keep uneducated and placated! so now he is dismantling systems which can empower and educate folks.

Please repost! We’re trying hard to sort out rumors from truth + would like to hear from anyone affected by the new federal orders + NIH pause.

So far here’s a list of companies reinforcing their commitment to Diversity, Equity & Inclusion: Apple Costco Bank of America Delta JP Morgan Marriott Microsoft Procter & Gamble Goldman Sachs American Airlines Southwest Airlines United Airlines Catholic Health

The fact that this was pulled at all, which implies Air Force officers thought teaching about Black and women pilots was only relevant because of DEI efforts, says volumes about why DEI training is important. apple.news/AY1tWzAtXTwW...

‘The most potent weapon in the hands of the oppressor is the mind of the oppressed’ -Steve Biko. Let us stay reminded that many of these threats will manifest into action but some are meant only to oppress and flex power.

Finishing up my last semester of #nursingschool! Clinicals are in a community-based mental health center this semester. Spent Thursday in the #crisisunit, and was reminded of my days back at @APEB. Mental health disparities truly are consistent and persistent across the nation.
