After today’s lecture in my substance use course, a student hit me with “you ate.” Guess I served more than just the curriculum.

The removal of #HIV- and #LGBTQ-related resources from the websites of the CDC and other health agencies is deeply concerning. Access to this information is crucial for ID and HIV health care professionals. Our full statement: bit.ly/3PYun9v

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

Given recent events with federal grant funding, I’m curious—where are folks in the HIV/SGM research space looking for funding opportunities? Always open to sharing insights and ideas! #HIVResearch #SGMScience #Funding

Excited to present at SBM in San Francisco next month! 🎉 Catch me in Poster Session E, where I'll share our findings on how different delivery modalities of long-acting injectable PrEP (LAI-PrEP) impact willingness to use it among Latinos. See you there! #PrEP #HIV

Excited to have attended the UCLA CHIPTS NextGen conference! Such a great opportunity to be in a room filled with academics, community-based organizations, and frontline individuals tackling HIV inequities—especially in these challenging times.

Academics, how do you explain your workplace hierarchy to non-academic friends/partners? I just say: "my boss" (chair), "big boss" (dean), and "big big boss" (president). There has to be a better way! 😂

Match Day is almost here! 💙🧠 No matter the outcome, your worth isn’t defined by a result. You’ve worked hard, and your impact in psychology is just beginning. Take a deep breath—you’ve got this! 💪✨ #PsychologyMatchDay

My diversity supplement has been stuck in the Twilight Zone since early March. The main R01 that the supplement is attached to is neither renewed nor canceled—just…vibing in the void. Anyone else trapped in grant purgatory?

So excited to go to the SBM SBM conference this week. Are any of my academic friends going?

Many of my academic colleagues can’t attend #SBM2025 due to funding constraints—a harsh reality of research today. That said, our commitment to this work remains strong. Let’s connect! #HIV #LGBT #SGM #PrEP #Research #Latinx

A decline in funding for #HIV response could result in millions of preventable new infections and deaths, with up to 120 000 of these deaths affecting children. International cooperation is essential to sustain the advances we’ve made in HIV prevention, testing, and treatment.

Can someone from Nelnet please contact me? I've struggled to get my loan repayment award sorted and applied correctly to my account. You state I owe a payment (due today) yet your website is down. I would like this resolved ASAP.

Even though the PrEP posters were tucked away in a back corner, separate from the other HIV posters, I’m grateful that a few people still showed up to hear about my research! #SexualHealthEquity #HIVPrevention

Received notice that my diversity supplement was canceled. I'm sad and frustrated—this support would have made a real difference. Still, this work remains necessary, and I remain committed to doing it. #HIVprevention #LatinoHealth #LGBTQIA
