We analyzed data from 2.48M people in 159 countries (2009–2024, >95% pop) to track global isolation trends. Findings: growing isolation + major income disparities. The world must respond--together!

Pleased to share our paper published in Sleep Medicine today. Results show that social class discrimination, assessed with our new measure, explains a significant portion of socioeconomic differences in sleep problems among high school students. https://t.co/R9tLAvivrM

Nicely crafted opinion piece in The Guardian includes useful evidence and resources and adds momentum to movement for rational policies to address urgent issues of rising inequality. More debate and action is needed to iron out the policy details. https://t.co/v4ptsGhH31

A lot of emotions this week. It's been hard to know what to write.

In the end I just wrote this, for Fortune, in America.

It's sad, but I like it. Check it out.

Good luck.

Forgot to mention that the increase in experiences of discrimination among Black young adults occurred during the pandemic. The increase from pre-pandemic levels may reflect a tendency for people to enact their negative stereotypes more in times of stress.

[Dr. Thomas Fuller-Rowell @DrTomFuller]

Pleased to share our new paper published in Cultural Diversity & Ethnic Minority Psychology (@apadiv45). Results show that Black young adults experienced increases in discrimination which exacerbated Black-White racial disparities in social isolation. https://t.co/tBYJ3cKwGF

I see these kinds of restaurant and bar policies in action all of the time in Atlanta and have no doubt that racism is behind them. Do better Atlanta!

[Keisha Lance Bottoms @KeishaBottoms]

Odd that a restaurant in a mall parking lot turns away customers in “mall” attire. Asked if I could sit in the bar area and was told, “No.”. Rules are the rules, just wonder if the woman who came in immediately after me, who I did not see come back out, was also denied service.

"We are a little bit of all the universes through which we have once traveled"
--Author not known

Among other things, this quote struck me as a poetic illustration of the concept of Embodiment within Nancy Krieger's Ecosocial Theory.

Roses are red
Violets are blue
The child tax credit
Could cut child poverty in two.

Wealth, Race, and Place: a recent Demography article by Brian Levy examines how disparities in neighborhood disadvantage & homeownership in emerging to middle adulthood contribute to wealth inequality at age 50 and the long-standing racial wealth gap.

Six months of the expanded Child Tax Credit offered a glimpse of what's possible in the fight to end #childpoverty. Studies project that in a typical year, it could reduce child poverty by at least 40%. So why are we letting it lapse? https://t.co/Kba5uuRdeo

Our new paper just out (w/ @atubbs_sleep @gjeanlouis1 et al)! A linear decline in sleep over the past ~10 years. More than double in Black/Af-Am and Mexican populations. Partially accounts for changes in observed cardiometabolic risk.

Important new inequality report from Oxfam. Key points: Incomes of the 99% have dropped during the pandemic while the super-rich have seen their wealth double in two years; policy solutions to rising inequality are urgently needed! https://t.co/j1O6pzvNOL

[Dr. Thomas Fuller-Rowell @DrTomFuller]

Pleased to share our new paper published in the COVID-19 special issue of @EmergAdulthd. Results show disparities by gender, socioeconomic status, and race in the degree to which indicators of sleep and health changed during the pandemic. https://t.co/oHfgcbJQr7
