Thanks for sharing! Kate Michelson Excited to get this piece out on the importance of prioritizing equitable care for children JAMA Pediatrics #medtwitter

Black & Hispanic children make up the majority who develop MIS-C and increased risk appears to extend beyond socioeconomic status. Identifying factors predictive of #MISC susceptibility is necessary to provide equitable care. ja.ma/3qQdpwK JAMA Pediatrics #medtwitter

Matched into Pediatric GI! Excited to spend another 3 years at Boston Children's Harvard Medical School #matchday #Pediatrics #pedsGI #fellowshipmatch #blackingastro #diversityinGI #RepresentationMatters

As we enter the holiday season, here’s where Boston residents can get free at-home rapid test kits to stay healthy & protect our loved ones. ⬇️ boston.gov/departments/pu…

Happy to share the preprint of my postdoctoral work! Integrated genomic analysis of AgRP neurons reveals that IRF3 regulates leptin's hunger-suppressing effects It still needs to be published in a peer-reviewed journal, but I appreciate this milestone biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Friends like to tease me about my Yeezys at work, BUT: 1) I’ve connected deeply with 2 patients over the past week because of them 2) They’re the most comfortable shoes I’ve ever worn by a landslide #BMIM #RepresentationMatters

Honoring all women physicians today, and every day! The field of #gastroenterology has made noticeable strides in #genderequity, but still has a long way to go, especially for URM women. #blackingastro #nationalwomensphysicianday #womeninmedicine

Dr. Frankie Heyward Frankie D Heyward, Ph.D. from Harvard University is a Duke Next Generation Leader! Dr. Heyward conducts basic research geared towards elucidating the neuroepigenetic basis of hunger and obesity.

why residency program tabling at SNMA’s annual AMEC is an invaluable diversity recruitment & retention tool for URiM students and residents: a brief thread 🧵 …

A COVID story, with permission: A healthy healthcare professional friend in her 30s (vaccinated x 3) successfully avoided COVID for two years by taking sensible precautions within her control, assisted by sensible collective protections in place for much of this period.

Congratulations to the resident doctors at UVM, UMass and Stanford who have voted, overwhelmingly, to unionize. These doctors believe its unfair to their patients and themselves when they are forced to work up to 80 hours a week at very inadequate pay. They're right.

(2/3) Here's the link to the powerful article written by @VirginiaGewin that highlights our fund, the tremendous work of @MariyaSweetwyne, and that of others: nature.com/articles/d4158…

Congratulations to my amazing husband Frankie D Heyward, Ph.D. on landing a tenure-track faculty position at UTSW Media Relations! You have worked so hard to get to this point, and I couldn't be more proud of you. I’m blessed to be a part of your incredible journey!😍#BlackExcellence #BlackInStem

Since the discovery of CRISPR-Cas systems, people have wondered if a similar type of system exists in eukaryotes. Today, we report in nature the characterization of Fanzor, a eukaryotic RNA-guided system that can be reprogrammed for human genome editing. nature.com/articles/s4158…

📢 I'm hiring at all levels for my Nutritional & Behavioral Epigenetics Lab at @UTSWNews!! ❤️‍🔥 If you're passionate about the neuroepigenetic regulation of appetite during obesity and aging I'd love to potentially work with you 🫵🏾 Please RT and share with all trainees🙏🏾

Exciting news! Introducing our newest cohort of PSDP Scholars. Get ready for groundbreaking research and innovation in pediatric science as they kick off their PSDP journeys this July 2024!

My postdoc work is FINALLY out in NatureCommunity!🙌🏾 AgRP neurons control appetite, but their transcriptional regulation is a mystery. Here, we generated AgRP neuron RNA-seq & ATAC-seq profiles and show that IRF3 mediates leptin’s hunger-suppressing effects nature.com/articles/s4146…

Honored to be interviewed by nature while discussing the value of community in academia, especially for the underrepresented. National Black Postdoctoral Association (NBPA) & HMS Black Postdoctoral Association transformed my journey, and I urge everyone to create the supportive networks they wish existed❤️‍🔥 nature.com/articles/d4158…
