Well this was my best new year's resolution ever. I had the distinct joy and privilege of co-writing a research-based comic book with the inimitable Maia Kobabe. You can put it on your goodreads now and it will be stocked or banned in bookstores + libraries near you in 2024!✊🏽🎉
Should you spend as much time on dissemination as you do on writing articles? Ever thought to publish a version of your research as a graphic novel? Lots of cool ideas in the link on how to translate research to impact and get it into the hands of community. #NewYearsResolution
I am hiring a research coordinator at @UMDPublicHealth on an RCT of a sexual assault prevention intervention. Please share with your networks! umd.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/UM…
Wow this ADHD screener the school gave us for our kindergartener really went off the rails 😅 fortunately we're at never/rarely for armed robbery.🤣 Remember friends just bc your measure was "validated" doesn't mean validated in your population, always check the original study!
Embarrassed of how little I have accomplished after learning that Judith Butler wrote Gender Trouble while they were a lecturer teaching 5 classes 🙃 nytimes.com/2024/03/24/books…
All the complex feelings coming across Rob Garafalo's wonderful editorial sharing that the generation of LGBTQ+ health researchers before me faced the exact same issues of having their research twisted against us. Part of why we wrote Breathe was (1/4) doi.org/10.1089/trgh.2023.29…
justification for prohibiting people from affirming their gender. If you're an LGBTQ+ health researcher, check Altmetrics to see if this is happening to your work. I feel we have an ethical responsibility as researchers to "do no harm" and it keeps me up at night thinking (3/4)
Wow. Beyond humbled to have Breathe featured in @MsMagazine beside some of my fave authors as a response to the question "How do we maintain hope and strength in the face of...violence and fear?" Thanks @karlajstrand and all the readers who see why Maia and I wrote this book 💖

PSA 📣 that there are two books out on binding! Frances was doing the work before anyone and has tremendous clinical expertise. We had the privilege of Frances contributing to our book but if you want 318 more pages I can't recommend their new book enough! healthybinding.com/the-book

Happy #BookBirthday Maia Kobabe and @SarahPeitzmeier!

I had the most fun doing this interview. Librarians are the best! Our book will be out tomorrow and probably banned somewhere shortly thereafter - grateful to librarians for fighting to keep books on shelves at a time when people most need access to evidence-based information.
Our May issue is now live—with @mbreeding's annual Library Systems report, an interview with #MaiaKobabe & @SarahPeitzmeier, & stories about libraries hosting spice clubs & lending robotic pets. Read the full issue or individual articles at bit.ly/AL-May24

TFW when the editor starts their comment with "There are numerous APA-style problems in your reference list, including but not limited to..."😅😬😬 not me trying to sneak my public health self into a psychology journal and getting busted for not getting ANY of the rules right 🤦♀️

It was a joy to speak with such an engaged audience about a project near and dear to my heart! Thank you for coming!
Had a great time today at the inaugural @UMichMedSchool LGBTQ+ Symposium! I particularly LOVED @SarahPeitzmeier ’s talk on the binding health project outlining the mental and physical effects of binding coupled with discussion on dissemination of research to the public🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
I've taken AND taught a lot of stats courses, and have never been in one where the students are mostly BIPOC and every example is using stats intentionally to advance equity. It hits different!! Thanks @ProfDiemer and @ICPSRSummer for the gift of learning in community this week✨

More than a century before Trump and his supporters vowed to "Keep America Great," White segregationists were striving to keep California White. They passed the state's flagrantly anti-Asian "Alien Land Law" on this day 110 years ago in 1913. An #AAPIHeritageMonth 🧵 1/
