Me: Just submitted my reviewer comments. Feeling good, felt like I knew the topic and gave solid suggestions for the authors to consider.

Also me, after reading the other reviewers’ comments:
Not me being Reviewer 3?! 🫣💔

Yall, I'm so shame lol #AcademicTwitter #TwitteRx

To these professional orgs, your silence is noted. Just know that.

@JayCdoesID @Vanthida_Huang @jackiecusumano Love this! She was my PhD advisor when I first started my program. Glad to see her!

I'm quoted in @CNBC on the rise of pharmacy deserts 🏥📉 and the role of PBMs in drug store closures. We need to find solutions that ensure all communities have access to medications and care.

My fellow citizens of tiny country towns:

What's the big thing going on right now?

My town's losing its mind because we're getting a Jersey Mike's.

Last month I received the @NCTE_CCCC Braddock Award for my article on the literacy & rhetorical practices of incarcerated people & the podcast @earhustlesq. Grateful to have something that I wrote deemed “best of the year” but also honored to amplify work happening behind bars.

I’ve officially been a PI for 1 year, thought I’d be further along by now but I guess things are happening as they should… trying to give myself grace and trust the process, I’m sure I’m doing fine 😬

[Tamera D. Hughes @TamTransformsRX]

@DrLJBrady I'm sure you're doing great! I definitely understand the feeling.

[Tamera D. Hughes @TamTransformsRX]

@RedWoofer Great work, Margo!

[Preston Igwe, MD @PrestonIgweMD]

Although just having Black people represented in medicine is not enough, it is still very important. Cause our very existence is therapeutic. It makes a difference. We also need the support and systemic changes to actually thrive in this field.
