So, when people say stress at work is giving them palpitations, they mean it literally.

Read a new study showing psychosocial stressors from job strain and effort–reward imbalance are associated with an⬆️risk of #AFib. #AHAJournals #CardioTwitter https://t.co/s6VxzfFjhq

Better adherence to AHA's Life's Essential 8 (LE8) and Life's Simple 7 (LS7) is associated with improved carotid artery health in young adults, including lower arterial thickness, stiffness, and lipid deposition. #AHAJournals @latinoscientist @TracyBastain https://t.co/kECQxgRUTQ

NHGRI scientists are currently looking at how not having enough of certain vitamins can affect your DNA. By studying the tiny, mitochondrial genome, researchers can assess the potential effects of nutrients and other environmental exposures on DNA.

If you ever wondered how much universities pay assistant professors, and how that compares to the local cost of living, wonder no more..

My worst experiences with Diversity training have involved facilitators who are themselves part of the problem.

During one instance me and several other postdocs had to stop pulling our punches to address the shenanigans

The MADRES study reveals a diet high in vegetables, oils, and fruit may help prevent #preeclampsia in low-income Hispanic/Latina women. #AHAJournals #GoRedforWomen #JAHASpotlight @latinoscientist @TracyBastain @RimaHabre_ScD https://t.co/5DPjADeWn7

🚨New Publication🚨

Our findings show a high prevalence of preeclampsia (12.6%) among low-income Latina pregnant women and suggest that certain combinations of foods in the prenatal diet matters for the development of preeclampsia in this population. https://t.co/xcbInnv57U

@ArborQuist I second @Jason_Zh_Niu! Very well deserved!

Highly recommend training with @cardenaasca ! He is the best!

Standing room only in the “Environmental Inequalities & Health Risks” session at #ISEE2023! So many fabulous talks by early career researchers — rather disappointing that @ISEE_global discounts the value of (and interest in!!) this research by providing the tiniest of rooms.
