I’ve said this (last line) to medical students in the past.

Health (including medicine AND public health) is not about just helping people like you. Individualistic policies like this empower negligence and malice in hopes of dividing people.

[Josh Trebach, MD @jtrebach]

I’m an emergency medicine doctor. When you come to my ER, I will take care of you even if your beliefs are different than mine. My job is to take care of patients.

If you would deny a patient care because they have different beliefs than you, then you should not be in medicine

For anyone interested in my delightful ramblings, here's a link to the talk I gave to a mixed audience of clinicians, researchers, and community members.

I highly recommend the talks from other TRANSPORT fellows, too!

I recently gave a talk at @sunydownstate on the use of dried blood spot tech among cis queer men living with HIV who use stimulants (e.g., meth, cocaine). In short, this tech may help supplement ongoing HIV care, incl. among folks more likely to be disengaged. Video below! (1/6)

[José Diaz, PhD 🏳️‍🌈 @josediaz]

Take-home: consistent research shows HIV care-disengaged SMM *may* use DBS tech to supplement ongoing care. Clinical interventions are a GREAT next step to test this in the real world. Costs for Tasso and finger-prick for HemaSpot are 2 major limitating factors, though. (5/6)

Thanks to everyone who reached out! These tickets have found new homes. Wish I had more to share. Everyone should get to see a positive, queer, and affirming band like MUNA without wild scalper costs!!

[José Diaz, PhD 🏳️‍🌈 @josediaz]

Do I know anyone in the NYC area who needs ticket(s) to the MUNA show tonight (face value, $50 w/ tax/fees)?

My friend and I have two extra and hate the idea of trying to resell them for profit, especially last minute. Folks seriously interested, let me know!

“Prison of Regression”!

Do any other quant researchers feel attacked by this video game (Persona 5)? 😆

[Movement Advancement Project @lgbtmap]

MAP's new report, released today, shows how recent attacks on access to medical care for transgender youth are part of a much larger effort to ban medical care for all transgender people. 🏳️‍⚧️ 🧵

Honestly, why do people support Archives of Sexual Behavior as a leading (relatively speaking) journal? The bar they consistently use for reviewing transphobic research and opinion pieces is basically the floor.

Stop publishing with them.

[International Academy of Sex Research @TheIASR]

1/Dear IASR members,

In the interest of transparency, we want to communicate to the Membership about recent concerns regarding a publication in our official journal, the Archives of Sexual Behavior. On March 29th, the journal published an article authored by ...

So proud of Bobbi. We were able to turn a horrible event into a celebration of her brilliance! Thank you @nytimes for writing such a wonderful piece. Not only do we need to view Black children as children, but we need to love & nurture them!❤️
