A4: Funding is tight across the board. Having the right expertise on a team helps to ensure that you make the most out of what funding you are able to secure, which hopefully will lead to better research outputs and increased chances of securing future funding. #behavioralmedchat

A5: My early teams were built by researching faculty in my own institution to figure out who had the right expertise for what I needed. I managed to build some amazing teams from just cold calling those experts and setting up a meeting to talk about my ideas. #behavioralmedchat

A5: Don’t be afraid to ask senior experts in your institution for an hour meeting. They may not be able to meet tomorrow, but chances are, you’ll get that meeting. If they don’t have time to work with you, they’ll know someone with the right expertise who does. #behavioralmedchat

A6: Have someone who can act as a bridge between disciplines. Team building is important whether a bridge exists or not. People need to be comfortable with one another and have mutual respect to be able to work through disagreements and challenges effectively. #behavioralmedchat

A7: Having your multidisciplinary team in place at the outset and actually utilizing their expertise throughout the design process is essential. It’s not good enough to bring a near final product to your team at the end as their expertise will have been wasted. #behavioralmedchat

A7: Development of products (apps, tech, papers...) always take longer than expected. If you wait until the last minute to consult your diverse team of experts, it may be too late to incorporate their thoughts/perspectives, which leads to missed opportunities. #behavioralmedchat

If you’re still wearing a mask, washing your hands, and staying away from people, please share this because sometimes people try to make me feel like I’m overreacting.

Anytime someone in academic medicine asks “why aren’t there more Black physician scientists / scientists?” I want you to show them this picture. #AcademicChatter #DiversityandInclusion We, as a profession, are failing to diversify this profession.

Research led by Dr. Laurie Buis Laurie Buis & published in JMIR Publications found that a pharmacist-led, app-based intervention can be effective at reducing blood pressure in patients with uncontrolled hypertension. bit.ly/2Ta5Lgs

As a computing/engineering researcher, how do we engage IRB beyond paperwork and reflect on how our seemingly benign research may present harm beyond physical harm. w/ amazing collaborators Laurie Buis, Reema Kadri, and Gabi Marcu. ieeexplore.ieee.org/abstract/docum…

As digital health researchers, we always think about IRB, but how often do we truly THINK about and internalize the ethical implications of the work we do? Check out my new paper with the fabulous Jina Huh-Yoo! #mhealth #GoBlue U-M Family Medicine ieeexplore.ieee.org/abstract/docum…
