In order to create systemic change, we need more than small projects.
#SocialMovements have huge potential for creating systemic change.
We would love to see more integrations of #SocialMovement & #ImpSci
https://t.co/2bB1XFAoZY Similar to Dr. King's admonition that we not allow the nation to return to business as usual, we urge IS toward a position of resistance against a status quo responsible for the reproduction of inequitable health & distribution of translational benefits.
I am delighted to share my 1st,1st author pub that only took...3 yrs to articulate (And worth it). In honor of Dr. King, I share my reference to his remarks on America's "failure to fully deliver on its promises" & the present impetus for health equity in translational science.
This article discusses applying the PRISM framework w/ an equity lens in public health & health services research & practice, emphasizing the importance of representation, unintended consequences, capacity building, & sustained assessment of equity.

I chose the explicit lyrics deliberately because this a gritty, grimy reality of injustice we are up against that is constantly trying to diminish our press for justice! To paraphrase in #ratchetinspiration (if you wanna call it such) It’s our Mutha🖕🏾Moment: Fight on! @MatiH_ID
I am so thrilled to see @Dr_S_Jefferson Shining Yah! https://t.co/d2ysYZ3E9L Reading this morning, i am renewed in my thirst for transformation, grateful to “get to work” FOR the power of people! To MAKE the science CARE & #bearwitness: hearing THIS voice today has RE-minded me.
My 1st graduating doctoral student published her 1st paper from her dissertation, coauthored with some SEED Lab members, & this is my 1st senior authored paper😭🙏🏽✊🏽
Read & cite @DrBFrancis ! She went HARD on this *for* Black mothers! SO proud! 🤩✨🌟 https://t.co/wVy8cPVmrZ
Cease and desist with this binary of theoretical and pragmatic/practical as opposing realities. It is unintelligible, especially given that after all, we are all theorists, even if we aren't always or don't wish to be aware of it.
and I will state explicitly that meeting IRB requirements does not address coloniality. In fact, in my experience, some IRB requirements actually conflict with safeguarding/being anticolonial, & this is where I've had to ask myself what my goals are as a(n) (African) researcher.
I'd like Global South researchers to interrogate their research for coloniality, incl who they collaborate with, study design, how they conduct informed consent, & whether/how they integrate anticolonial safeguarding for researched populations. This goes beyond IRB requirements.
