Well this was my best new year's resolution ever. I had the distinct joy and privilege of co-writing a research-based comic book with the inimitable Maia Kobabe. You can put it on your goodreads now and it will be stocked or banned in bookstores + libraries near you in 2024!✊🏽🎉

[Dr. Sarah Peitzmeier @SarahPeitzmeier]

Should you spend as much time on dissemination as you do on writing articles? Ever thought to publish a version of your research as a graphic novel? Lots of cool ideas in the link on how to translate research to impact and get it into the hands of community. #NewYearsResolution

I am hiring a research coordinator at @UMDPublicHealth on an RCT of a sexual assault prevention intervention. Please share with your networks! https://t.co/JF9IqkOx43

Wow this ADHD screener the school gave us for our kindergartener really went off the rails 😅 fortunately we're at never/rarely for armed robbery.🤣 Remember friends just bc your measure was "validated" doesn't mean validated in your population, always check the original study!

[Dr. Sarah Peitzmeier @SarahPeitzmeier]

@drnursenick I got majorly dinged by one reviewer on my last submission for having a sample size of "16" (it was actually 64). Mentors told me there was nothing I could do to get it fixed, but admittedly I didn't try.

Embarrassed of how little I have accomplished after learning that Judith Butler wrote Gender Trouble while they were a lecturer teaching 5 classes 🙃 https://t.co/vjOaJneOcZ

[Dr. Sarah Peitzmeier @SarahPeitzmeier]

about how we can do more to ensure our work does more good (moves policy, or gets in the hands of the communities who need it) and less harm (becomes more impervious to weaponization). Would love to hear others' strategies! ✊(4/4)

All the complex feelings coming across Rob Garafalo's wonderful editorial sharing that the generation of LGBTQ+ health researchers before me faced the exact same issues of having their research twisted against us. Part of why we wrote Breathe was (1/4) https://t.co/YmxU8AFv6N

[Dr. Sarah Peitzmeier @SarahPeitzmeier]

justification for prohibiting people from affirming their gender. If you're an LGBTQ+ health researcher, check Altmetrics to see if this is happening to your work. I feel we have an ethical responsibility as researchers to "do no harm" and it keeps me up at night thinking (3/4)

[Dr. Sarah Peitzmeier @SarahPeitzmeier]

Wow. Beyond humbled to have Breathe featured in @MsMagazine beside some of my fave authors as a response to the question "How do we maintain hope and strength in the face of...violence and fear?" Thanks @karlajstrand and all the readers who see why Maia and I wrote this book 💖

@TiaraCWillie We wrote a graphic novella/ comic book! Super fun.

[Dr. Sarah Peitzmeier @SarahPeitzmeier]

PSA 📣 that there are two books out on binding! Frances was doing the work before anyone and has tremendous clinical expertise. We had the privilege of Frances contributing to our book but if you want 318 more pages I can't recommend their new book enough! https://t.co/WDdVjFTC2e

Happy #BookBirthday Maia Kobabe and @SarahPeitzmeier!

Breathe: Journeys to Healthy Binding is on shelves today!

[Dr. Sarah Peitzmeier @SarahPeitzmeier]

I had the most fun doing this interview. Librarians are the best! Our book will be out tomorrow and probably banned somewhere shortly thereafter - grateful to librarians for fighting to keep books on shelves at a time when people most need access to evidence-based information.

TFW when the editor starts their comment with "There are numerous APA-style problems in your reference list, including but not limited to..."😅😬😬 not me trying to sneak my public health self into a psychology journal and getting busted for not getting ANY of the rules right 🤦‍♀️

[Dr. Sarah Peitzmeier @SarahPeitzmeier]

@Stu_Fiction Hi, feel free to send me a note!

[Dr. Sarah Peitzmeier @SarahPeitzmeier]

Thanks @ThisIs_DrB for this look back at our 2020 systematic review on IPV against trans individuals. I still remember running that meta-analysis and seeing the 2.2x disparity show up on my screen. We expected a disparity but that magnitude was a gut punch and call for action.

[B. Ethan Coston @ThisIs_DrB]

@AMJPublicHealth gave me 1500 words/15 references to tell you why @SarahPeitzmeier @DrShannaK @MadinaAgenor @SariReisner et al's 2020 piece on trans people's experiences of intimate partner and sexual violence is so widely cited and still relevant today.

@NBedera I do prevention research! Many survivors sign up for our intervention and it reduces revictimization and helps them reframe their prior assault with less self blame. Prevention is also for survivors. We need both.
