Very excited about our upcoming paper on the adverse effects of policing on population health in @socscimed

Even more excited that this is grounded in my dissertation research! @uwepidemiology

@lindleyashline Send it over. The antisemitism here is too much.

If you believe the murder, kidnapping, and rape of Israeli civilians is some sort of legitimate form anti-Israel protest, please unfollow me now.

@hutchleah Wow. So black and white. That’s disappointing. Bye.

@snapthennap @kadamssl @joeolivermd It’s a little bulky but I like it. Brought it on a flight we had to take. https://t.co/HueLLglTFP

@syderature I 100% know it 😭😭😭

[Maayan Simckes, PhD MPH @DrMaayanSimckes]

My bestie makes me a better person and this interview snippet, as short as it was, shows the world why I love them. Thanks to @syderature for seeing it too 🥰

[Sydney Nicole Sweeney (she/they) @syderature]

green jacket lady snapped as well but can we talk about the younger person in the beanie and glasses who said "um.... crime is a social issue... that could be solved... by giving people their basic needs..." i stan them

[Maayan Simckes, PhD MPH @DrMaayanSimckes]

So proud of my bestie.

[Kat Abughazaleh @KatAbughazaleh]

Fox News tried to do a bunch of scary man-on-the-street interviews about crime. It didn't go well.

[Maayan Simckes, PhD MPH @DrMaayanSimckes]

@hutchleah Bought the same one last week to use on an upcoming trip. It’s adorable and seems really simple to use. Hoping it’s as helpful as people say!

[Maayan Simckes, PhD MPH @DrMaayanSimckes]

Update! My free tests arrived!

[Maayan Simckes, PhD MPH @DrMaayanSimckes]

I had no idea! Now that our state program has ended, I definitely signed up. Took 2 minutes!

[Dr. Lucky Tran @luckytran]

Not enough people know about this, but there's a NIH-supported program giving out SIX FREE COVID TESTS.

Sign up here: https://t.co/MiSmFzdBGa

No insurance required. You also get access to telehealth, as well as free treatment (if eligible).

Please share and get the word out!

Disrupting the hierarchy of bodies, to them, is more unacceptable than literally promoting unhealthy behavior - otherwise they would be just as loud about eds. They’re only mad because we’re trying to take away their punching bags.

[Maayan Simckes, PhD MPH @DrMaayanSimckes]

Especially in the wake of the massive dashboard boom that C19 brought to PH agencies, what are the potential harms of these tools? Will we get lazy and call it justice when we post disaggregated data with no actual work? No community partnership across the data lifecycle?

[Maayan Simckes, PhD MPH @DrMaayanSimckes]

I was trying to remember during a talk this week where I had picked up the term “dashboard-ification” and am glad I finally remembered so I can give a shout out to @Arrianna_Planey
This landed well (with a bang) at my agency this week.

[Dr. Lucky Tran @luckytran]

This is how you look whenever you say we are in a better place with COVID because only "vulnerable" people are dying.

[@[email protected] @Imani_Barbarin]

What if I told you most in the medical field regardless of specialty think this way.

It’s a feature of the profession, not a bug.

[victoria ♀️ @fatfabfeminist]

if ur fatphobic to me in public, i promise to make you as uncomfortable as you make me.

and news flash, no matter how much you don’t wanna sit next to a fat person on a flight, I *promise* you we wanna sit next to you less.

nobody wants to sit next to an asshole for 5 hours.

@prof_goldberg I agree with others who have said they sometimes use different sig blocks for different audiences!
