Most importantly, the intervention worked. Teens reported increased readiness to eat more veggies and less salt after the intervention.

We piloted JMGC-SA with Somali American teens in 2021. Even during a pandemic, school-based delivery of the digital and culturally tailored intervention was feasible. #HealthEquity 🧵⬇️

Teens appreciated that the program materials reflected their lived experiences as Somali American youth.
“I liked how they included that a person can belong in more than one culture.”

My friend and former lab mate, Aurora (2nd-year clinical psych PhD student) has been diagnosed with cancer.

Any donations to help cover her imaging and treatment costs would be immensely appreciated.

Thank you for your support! ❤️

@a_wiglesworth @JoseCausadias @Ferguson_Lab Thanks, Andrea!! 😀 Such a good experience!

[Tori Simenec @TSimenec]

It was an absolute privilege working on this paper with @JoseCausadias and @Ferguson_Lab!

Their communication of some pretty COMPLEX ideas into simple and easy to understand figures is nothing short of magic. 🪄

Air pollution warnings are becoming more and more familiar in the United States. Newly published research suggests that even air pollutant levels deemed safe by the @EPA are linked to changes in brain network connectivity development.

@sarahpanumn When @J_kunks and I went to a high school to chat a few weeks ago, they wanted to know about how COVID impacted teens, how early experiences might be related to mental health, and what our typical days looked like as grad students!

[Tori Simenec @TSimenec]

Being a first-time instructor of record was a doozy, but I loved watching students reflect on what they learned this semester!!
