One of the things I am most looking forward to next month at @AcademyHealth #ARM23 is chairing the session that features my friend @AkreEllesse who received best of ARM for the Addressing Patient and Consumer Preferences and Needs. Hope to see you in Seattle at this great session – at Fayetteville, NC

Kevin Griffith’s (Vanderbilt) behavior is unacceptable. How can you claim to care about equity then attempt to sabotage a black woman’s career because you don’t like her tweets? Ppl like him are dangerous! If you know him call him in because this behavior needs to be called out!

Black Covid Care has been in the world for just about a week now and we are so grateful for your support! We are thankful to be a small part of lifting up the care that Black people show each other. Here are a few photos from our DC launch last week! blackcovidcare.com

Wow. 😧 If y’all read *one* thing today, might I suggest this new article in @NEJM? “The belief that Black people have denser bones, more muscle, or thicker skin led radiologists and technicians to use higher radiation exposure during x-ray procedures.” nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NE…

H/T to @AkreEllesse for sending me this article that came out last year that includes explicit recommendations for remedying NIH funding inequities. An important read elifesciences.org/articles/6…
