So thrilled to share our latest work reporting on the mental health impact of #discrimination during the early phase of the #COVID19 pandemic in the @AllofUsResearch cohort - a truly amazing @IHCCGlobal collaboration led by @jorsmo, @BrunoniProf, and @S_Bauermeister 🙏✨

In this cohort study, everyday discrimination was associated with depressive symptoms and suicidal ideation among Asian and Hispanic or Latino individuals during the early phase of the #COVID19 pandemic. https://t.co/qkwCFyVzTm

Out in @LancetRH_Europe today #LongCovid

After 2 years of work, I'm very excited to share this joint 1st-authored paper w/Shen, Joyce & Didrikson on

Severe physical symptoms after #COVID19 infection in 65 000 adults across 4 countries up to 27 months 🧵

Last day of the excellent #WCPG2023 and all those present have had an excellent meeting

BUT getting a visa for Canada is difficult with long delays. Many people are absent because their visa didn’t arrive in time

We missed you.

@caina89 Bummer I couldn’t make it this year! Looking forward to hanging out with you in Singapore next year ☺️🎈

[Younga (Heather) Lee 🇰🇷 @EpiHeather]

@cathrynlewis I also couldn’t be there for visa-related reasons. Hope everyone had a great time, and I hope to attend the meeting in person next year ☺️🍀

Thanks to medical technology, the older American population is growing & living longer than before. @AllofUsResearch wants to make sure they’re represented in health data so researchers can find solutions that address their unique needs. #JoinAllofUs at https://t.co/w0Dtuden2Y

❗️NEW PREPRINT❗️

Brain size varies ~2-fold across adults, ~100 fold across primates, and nonlinearly changes across the lifespan. How is this reflected at the molecular level?
