Women-led movements are more likely to succeed and lead to egalitarian democracies. Autocrats know they have to do everything possible to dampen women's political participation because it’s women who most often emerge as the most powerful forces in the fight against fascism.

"I had never in my life been abused by whites, but I had already become as conditioned to their existence as though I had been the victim of a thousand lynchings” I’m proud to be part of this work. Biology n disease risk are modify by our history

History is salient for health. A new @hrsisr study investigates the impact of historical lynchings on the biological and cognitive health of Black Americans. @pbaJackson, @HigginsTejera, @UM_PSC alum @ProfBrownnnn et al:

@kareem_carr It’s also true that scientific discourse has been used as a weapon to punish dissenting opinions. That’s not to negate the anti-scientific views raising on social media. But to bring attention to the historical processes that have taken precedent

[César Higgins Tejera, PhD 🏳️‍🌈 🇨🇴 🇺🇸 @HigginsTejera]

@kareem_carr IMHO, that’s the whole point of a PhD. To deep our understanding of the boundaries of the discipline and to make sure the new generation of scientists abide and function on the limits of those boundaries.

🚨I've been awarded an @alzassociation grant for my ongoing research into biological pathways linking socioeconomic determinants n cognitive decline. I aim to integrate causal inference n omics data to understand how health inequities are embodied to affect cognition🚨 #ALZFunded

Applying causal mediation analysis, we aimed at delineating systemic inflammation as an important pathway for the embodiment of the exclusionary social system in which minoritized individuals live and survive.

[César Higgins Tejera, PhD 🏳️‍🌈 🇨🇴 🇺🇸 @HigginsTejera]

🚨 Systemic inflammation is an important mediator between the process of racializing individuals and deferentially treating them and the development of dementia 🚨 #Dementia #Disparities
