[Bei Wu @beiwu66]

Thrilled to be quoted in this insightful piece about loneliness in middle age. It's crucial to recognize and address this issue, especially in today's fast paced world. Let's foster stronger connections and support systems! #Loneliness #MiddleAge #Community

[Scientific American @sciam]

The lack of a safety net in the U.S. is a big factor that explains why Americans feel lonelier than Danes or Swedes https://t.co/PxhKXpAJ8Y

[Xiang Qi, PhD, RN @xiangqi2019]

I’m happy to share this paper with my advisor @beiwu66 is now a Wiley Top Cited Paper - It is one of the first studies that idenfitied the association between social isolation, loneliness and oral health! @CommDentOralEpi @nyumeyers #TopCitedArticle #dentistry

My colleagues and I are shedding light on a concerning trend we've termed 'domestic helicopter research.' This involves researchers dropping in marginalized communities, conducting studies, and leaving w/o any true community or local researcher engagement. https://t.co/4tvBFHOvyP
