Since the countdown is now weeks, not months, I'll share that I'm making a career change. At the start of the year, I'll join the faculty of Washington University in the Department of Psychiatry. I'm excited for a new opportunity & grateful to be able to continue my work in STL.

Humanity in healthcare matters. As a caregiver and patients these little things change your day.
Once, a woman stopped me in the lobby. "I'm sorry, I can’t find the ICU.” I showed her where to go. An hour later, I was called to the room—her husband was dying from cancer. That was the day I decided to treat every person in the hospital as if it were their hardest day.

My condolences and prayers to the @isleybrothers family on the loss of their beloved brother Rudolph Isley. I performed on the @apollotheater stage with them when I was 11 yrs old. My first professional show I opened up for them when I was a teenager. Hold the family in your 🙏🏾💐

This #BannedBooksWeek, I am appalled that we are here - again. As the daughter of a librarian, an avid reader from the time I could hold a book & a grateful writer of children’s lit, this is a fight that matters to us all:

Wow reading this really hurt. It seems citations for grants submitted to @nih is dependent on the RFA. Read the thread… each discipline has a style so why does it matter? Plus, good reviewers will read citations.
R01 application was administratively withdrawn because we cited “Doe et al.” instead of using numerical citations. I understand it was our mistake and appreciate the need to anonymize, but why not check at the time of submission and give us a chance to correct? @NIH @NIHDirector.

Best news I've heard all week! Here's why: * The research is DOPE! reporter.nih.gov/search/Py7X… * @brendesha gives hope to every Black researcher who wonders if they'll ever be funded by #NIH. This is her 2ND #R01! * Her team includes @HeyArtez! * When one of us wins, we all win!

Prof @Brendesha Tynes will use the #NIH grant to study how #digital and #medialiteracy training and the development of an immersive #VR experience can help combat online racism that disproportionately impacts the #mentalhealth of students of color. buff.ly/3PJMy2f #K12

I’m about to speak at a conference at I’m trying to make sure that I ask for my dad’s presence to be with me on this day. It is the anniversary of his passing. He fought for healthy equity. I do this to work to honor him & those giants before me. #HealthEquity

Thrilled to share our latest @MayoClinic @KerUnit publication. This is the FIRST meta-analysis to explore coaching interventions ACROSS chronic conditions and ON patient-important outcomes. @nbchwc this publication will be of great interest to your organization.
Replying to @VaqueraH_md
Check out the latest work by @krboehmer in which we systematically reviewed the effects of HWC on patient reported outcomes in chronic illness care (4/5) authors.elsevier.com/c/1hnvA…
