Cuts to public health funding are detrimental for our community. Listen to one perspective.
I am begging my fellow relationship scientists: stop describing mixed-sex couples as "heterosexual" in your papers if you didn't actually measure sexual orientation. Please.
I'm always so proud to talk about my work with colleagues @ISGMH, and this video is the proof of why. Watch, enjoy, and please join us in our mission to advance #lgbtq #healthequity!
Emīls on Day 2 of #LGBTQhealthconf talking about substance use in @radar_nu, and absolutely killing it!!
I am also so happy at how well @afiyasajwani presented key findings from Plume Health Inc!! #LGBTQhealthconf
This #LBGTQhealthconf has been wildly amazing!! I might be biased, but the presentation by Nia Sosa on FAB400 was one of my favorite parts!
My brilliant colleague @CindyBVeldhuis with the best shirt gift for @SoqirS ever!!

We found that romantic support buffers the minority stress-HIV transmission risk association for both partners, EXCEPT when the person providing the support is heavily burdened by minority stress.
A trainee I mentored was accepted to a PhD program today, so if anyone has bad news for me, it's a perfect time because NOTHING can touch this feeling. 🥳
