Selfie with my research coordinator Nicole Garcia 🤗. I could not do this all without her attention to detail & dedication! I’m excited for our next journey in intervention development. Her cultural humility & diligence will help us to recruit this underserved population.

You have to really be careful about ambition. In high doses it can be counterproductive and destructive. Opportunity will chase greatness. So be great. Be patient. Let demand chase supply. And don’t forget that opposition ALWAYS comes with opportunity. So shake the haters off 😉

Would you all be surprised if I started senior authoring papers about genetics? I think you would. Why don’t scientists seek expertise in disparities when they write on the topic? Why don’t editors check for expertise as they would in any other domain? Questions that need answers

standard of care doesn’t matter if our patients can’t access it improving access to care should be a 🔝 priority #ISaidWhatISaid #MedTwitter #GITwitter
