With 70% of Latinos now US-born, we need to rethink our approach to studying #LatinoHealth. Acculturation is complex, blending cultures and affecting health outcomes. Invest in inclusive research to better support Latino communities. 🔗 buff.ly/46CQ0nl

Thank you @Latinx_Studies for creating a space where I was able to connect with these amazing #UIUC Alum. It's completely surreal to have gone from reading their work in classes to being in the same room with them.

My toxic habit is that I will delete PAGES of work and start over if the vibe is wrong. I keep saying I'll stop. But I don't. Maybe in 2024?

Signs I'm entering my señora era . I told my undergrad mentees that "I'm not raising academic malcriados" when they told me they didn't send a thank you email. . Do I regret it? Not at all.
