In their new Forefront article, Scott Kaplan and Sofia Villas-Boas from @NavalAcademy and @UCBerkeley discuss how bridging the gap in outcomes between intended policy and realized behavior requires careful study of actual responses to taxes. healthaffairs.org/do/10.1377…

"It's hypocrisy to call yourself a Christian and chase away a refugee or someone seeking help, someone who is hungry or thirsty, toss out someone who is in need of my help... If I say I am Christian, but do these things, I'm a hypocrite."

Cancer rates have declined for people with HIV (2001–2019), but racial/ethnic disparities remain. #LiverCancer rates dropped 23% for white individuals vs. 11% for Black individuals. Addressing #HealthInequities is critical. bit.ly/3BzzU2K @theNCI Image of DNA Genotyping.

An endometriosis diagnosis that doesn’t take 10 years would be THE gift. 💜
Some gifts can’t wait—and shouldn’t take a decade or more to receive.
While endometriosis affects more than one in ten women of reproductive age in the United States, getting a diagnosis can take over 10 years. However, investigators at Magee-Womens are working to transform the future of endometriosis care with faster diagnoses and better treatments.
This holiday season, give a gift that helps women get the answers they need: bit.ly/4hYCYWB

Trauma teaches you to stop dreaming, hoping, and expecting goodness. It teaches you to shut down and shut off. It tells you to cling to crumbs and embrace the minimum.
It’s beautiful to see you dreaming, opening, and soaring.
Healing looks good on you.

Never normalize this.

I’m gonna say this now.
Black Women (no matter your stance), the type of disrespect we are about to witness MAY chip away at your spirit.
Our “value” will definitely be the topic of every discussion.
Please take care of yourself.

1. Knowing your status
2. Using PrEP
3. Understanding that Undetectable = Untransmittable or U=U
