Today I had one of those wonderful days when you are recognized and sought after for your expertise. I was asked to join a center grant because I have the unique combined strengths of big data analytics and community engaged/based research.

Today, I participated in “Faith for Black Lives Matter” peaceful protest. As folks were walking onto the State House grounds, they played “Preach” by John Legend. It was so moving that tears ran down my face...#BlackLivesMattters

Yesterday, I had to tell an amazing woman and academic good-bye. @BlondeScientist will be moving to St. Judes Cancer Center to lead their HPV Vac initiatives. We had a special guest who made a surprise appearance to wish her well in her new role. @UofSCNursing @SC_CPCRN

This is the new “normal” for dissertation defenses- Dr. Bevel and his committee. On a positive note- virtual defenses mean that family members can now be a part of the process. It was great to see the Bevel family supporting their student!

@WhitneyZahnd The skills that you have to develop as a health researcher are highly specialized and honestly quite difficult and complex methodology that I think that it is important to convey this rare skill set. No different than calling yourself a cancer epi, MCH epi, etc

So excited to share some recent work examining endocrine therapy adherence in breast cancer survivors. It highlights the work still needed to close the gaps in racial and geographic cancer disparities. https://t.co/2iLZTJ2mAe @UofSCNursing
