We will not be able to overcome the legacy of mistrust of our government and medical institutions overnight, but engaging these community leaders is an essential first step that I wish had been part of the state’s strategy from the start.

@HealthEquityDoc Wow! 🔥 Indeed!

What if they tried a rose ceremony instead?

Schoolhouse Rock didn’t prepare us for this

Love your ability to engage folks in conversations on racism, policy, and public health @DrNataliaLinos

[Natalia Linos (Linou) @DrNataliaLinos]

Thanks @GlobeIdeas for the opportunity to chat w/ Dr. Mazer on a pressing "debate" in public health on how political our scholarship should be. My message: If we pretend scientific knowledge can be neutral we fail to interrogate a status quo responsible for inequities @FXBHarvard

Did you know that we've tried amending the flat tax in the Massachusetts constitution six times over the past 100 years? The century of flat taxes is OVER because we built the power to win @FairShareMA!

@ErikaWatersPhD Almost 10 years out from getting my doctorate, I can say that not doing a postdoc is one of the best decisions I made. Hired as a research associate with reasonable pay. Not a setback to staying in research, but likely would be if I was set on TT.

[Boston Globe Opinion @GlobeOpinion]

Editorial: Because of a broken federal immigration system, thousands of people are living in Massachusetts illegally — they work here, they pay taxes here, and they drive here. The question is whether state law should adapt to that reality. https://t.co/ioO59HwT2U

Loving how @RegTuckSee describes the ingredients of a trustworthy research partner - must be competent, honest, and reliable. Yes! #CCIS panel on #impsci and #equity

"She can't get inside the building because of her wheelchair."

No. She can't get inside because the building is not accessible. The building has a barrier that does not let her in. The wheelchair is not the problem; the building's lack of access is the problem.

Words matter.

These are the leaders I seek to follow

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

The true leader in a group is rarely the person who talks the most. It's usually the person who listens best.

Listening is more than hearing what’s said. It’s noticing and surfacing what isn’t said.

Inviting dissenting views and amplifying quiet voices are acts of leadership.

[The Center for Implementation @TCI_ca]

Shortest abstract we have seen, yet a piece with many insights and practical advice on a topic of great importance:

"Implementation science offers a rigorous set of tools to help mitigate long-standing and worsening gender disparities in academia." https://t.co/1smjm8o3hz ➡️

[Bekka Lee @BekkaLee4]

Loving the vision of #civicengagement @Tanisha4MA has for our state! Easy decision #mapoli

[Kimberlé Crenshaw @sandylocks]

It's clear the Court's assault on fundamental rights will not stop with abortion. They are coming for contraception, LGBTQ rights, gay marriage next. Combined with the GOP dismantling of voting rights, we are on the brink of autocracy. Democrats must act.

[Rev. Dr. William J. Barber II @RevDrBarber]

The state can’t make laws to enforce gun laws but can regulate a woman’s body. Hypocrisy. This is the criminalization of a woman’s health decision.

[Ayanna Pressley @AyannaPressley]

You don’t say 👀

Learned so much about the intersection of D&I and cancer center community engagement thru this project!

[NCI Cancer Control @NCICancerCtrl]

New: Read #NCI cancer centers’ case studies on community outreach and engagement activities that span the translational research continuum. #cancercenters #communityoutreachandengagement

@Christine_ScD I know a couple of people who have rebounded - all younger. Several ppl I know who are 60+ didn’t rebound. Agree we need some more science, and then solid guidance on this asap.
