Getting to see these awesome VA implementation scientists in action + a very motivational meeting with a Veteran engagement panel has me feeling all sorts of inspired! #dandi @AmandaMidboe @ranielwy

Thanks everyone for your incredibly kind words and support. I would be remiss if I didn’t mention my stellar team of CDA mentors who suffered through MANY rewrites and edits 😂: @AmandaMidboe, Susan Frayne, Rachel Kimerling, & Diana Burgess. #rockstars

Put some positive emails in my positive emails folder today. Being an academic is a hard life, but so, so rewarding when it’s good.

A little late on this but our work on mental health care fragmentation was published in @JournalGIM earlier this year. Check it out!

[VA HSR @vahsrd]

"....LESS care fragmentation..." Take that in, folks! Great work by @RanakTrivedi, @DrFernandaRossi, @mevanneman, M Goldstein, S Singer, and @DonnaZulman in @JournalGIM.

.@VAPaloAlto & SHP postdoctoral fellow Sarah Javier tells @KQED attacks on Asian Americans have exposed the dark reality of being Asian in America. "The historical trauma we are experiencing is very real and, at this moment in history, will not be erased."

Look forward to sharing on my first-ever VA paper during the Medication Addiction Treatment in the VA journal club.

Grateful to my mentors who helped make this paper possible and my friends & colleagues who are leading in this space. #HealthEquity

The bar to publish on racial health inequities is too low.

So @mclemoremr @EdwinLindo @Lachelle_Dawn and I set a new bar in @Health_Affairs.

Rule 1. NEVER reify biological race (it is not a thing)

Rule 2. Examine racism as a cause of health inequities

@RanakTrivedi I am late to this Twitter game. Forgive me! @RanakTrivedi

Psychological research suggests that when leaders communicate a clear, consistent and science-informed response during a pandemic, it can mitigate psychological distress.

Unfortunately, the opposite looks like this ⬇️

After seeing patients all day, my Dad is going to settle into his office, open up his weekly copy of @NEJM and see his son’s name in it. And that makes all of this worth it. 🙏🏾

Thanks @QuentinYoumans @DrQuinnCapers4 for the collab.
