Super proud of this project, and all of my awesome co-authors that made it possible! @MikeKelberman @DR_RAGEBERG @AnuKorukonda

Some people can’t see racism in health care. A Cree teen male went to the ER bc he was unwell. He sat, became delirious & security was called as they felt he was intoxicated. No vital signs were taken. He died 4ish hours later due to septicemia. I reported this. Nothing happened.

Next time you hear a land acknowledgement, please remember that acknowledging the land where one is standing does not make up for the history that it was taken from Indigenous people.

Mvto to Emory University President @gregfenves for acknowledging the Mvskoke people and announcing that Emory will now recognize Indigenous Peoples' Day! Actions like this are imperative for the inclusion of Native people in academic spaces.

Yesss! This is NATIVE land.

“ Step 1 score ... an indication of whether a student had highly educated parents, attended well resourced schools, had exposure to years of test preparation ... and access to .... role models ...” Thx, @NEJM for letting me, @QuentinYoumans @UREssien get something off our chest.

The Navajo Nation has more confirmed cases per capita of COVID-19 than 48 US states! Navajo has depleted all of her limited resources to battle. Funding to fight is now grassroots fundraising - help if you can: Navajo & Hopi Families COVID-19 Relief Fund gofundme.com/f/NHFC19Relief?…

What little Americans know about the Trail of Tears and Indian Removal, they tend to conflate with one Native American nation—the Cherokees. So many nations were removed and Andrew Jackson had absolutely nothing to do with most. Each nation had their own unique tragic experience

Sometimes your experiments fail and you feel beaten down by science, but then you hear someone like Huda Zoghbi give a brilliant talk about her neurodegenerative disease research, and you can't help but be inspired to keep going!

Thanks to everyone who made the Frontiers in Addiction Research and Pregnancy course possible! Stellar talks by diverse speakers covering basic science, clinical practices, translational research, and human rights as they relate to addiction. #FrARP #NIDA

Dear @nytimes , "Person with opioid addiction" may be 3 more words than "addict" but you'll save countless lives. Consider this: with stigmatizing language, ppl feel more discrimination & less likely to seek care MDs spend less clinic time = SUBPAR Care. Rise to the occasion.

YES

Happy Indigenous Peoples Day! I choose to use this day to honor my fellow Natives who fight to keep our culture vibrant & our land clean. It's a great day to be Indigenous!
