Great work from Keegan, a doctoral student in the lab, highlighting the lack of #physicalactivity interventions for sexual minority folks. This call to action is important to promote #healthequity

Physical activity is good for your mental and physical health. New research led by Melissa Bopp demonstrated that physical activity at work and during transportation constitutes a large part of some college students’ exercise. https://t.co/wK4hjfl2St

Great to see work from the lab being talked about. Active travel among children can be a great opportunity to increase PA.

Grateful to have received 1st place in the DEI category at Penn State's Grad Research Exhibition! Even better, during #NationalPublicHealthWeek! I take great pride in being a public health professional and will continue to incorporate those values into my research. @PSU_PAPH_Lab

🏳️‍🌈 A call to action: https://t.co/9HHXC6lF6j

Limited research & acknowledgement of the impact sexual orientation has on PA requires a shift in measurement & reporting of sexual orientation to ensure better understanding of LGBTQ+-specific PA patterns & health-related outcomes
