Our Editorial Staff Spotlight this week features our wonderful Design Intern, Anaya Marei! Anaya “does language” across mediums. Sometimes, she is succinct.

I've arrived at @CANSERRATart, in El Bruc & the foothills of Montserrat mountain, where I'm hoping to buckle down and get some writing done this month ☀️

[Sarah Roth @saraheroth]

I've got a prose poem—an ode to MRI-guided biopsies—in the beautiful June/July issue of @real_wildfire 🌱

Glad to vent about how terrible these things are and glad to be included in this summer's "Body" issue!

[Sarah Roth @saraheroth]

Giving a talk today on partnering with trans & gender diverse communities in breast cancer research—drawing on a study I led + my experiences as a queer BRCA1 carrier (and now breast cancer survivor).

Grateful to @CABreastCancer for centering community-based research! 🌈🧬

[Kristina Jenei @kjmeetswrld]

I am so happy to see social science methods//topics published in top medical journals like @TheLancetOncol - there is so much we can learn from medical anthropology in cancer policy.

Really important read on therapeutic geographies from @mac_skelton @SullivanProf et al.

[Sarah Roth @saraheroth]

Over at @synapsisjournal, I wrote about some of the the media I consumed during recovery from surgery, and about diagnosis and bodily change as invitations into 🌀 queer becoming 🌀

[Synapsis @synapsisjournal]

Next up, Sarah Roth discusses recovery from a double mastectomy, and the crucial supportive role of queer media (like FX's Dying for Sex and Miranda July's novel All Fours) and communities in their processes of self-fashioning. Read it here!

Grateful my work on gender expression & cancer risk is cited in Zayhowski et al.’s review of care practices for LGBTQ+ patients in genetics. They highlight themes & gaps in the research lit and critical areas for research, policy change, and education. 🌈
