A week after the Super Bowl, we met Puerto Rican boxer Xander Zayas in our home 🇵🇷. Xander Zayas, and Mexican-American boxer Emiliano Vargas, were the ones who appeared in the halftime show! I’m technically one degree separed from Bad Bunny now. 😂 ¡Orgullosísima de ser Boricua y Latina! 🫶🏽
💯 and not the touristy side, the constant power outages, the watching TV in your family in your cozy living room, piraguas, pinchos 🇵🇷🇵🇷❤️❤️
Feeling pretty great to be from P fkn R! 🇵🇷
Agree with the comment above! Being discussed is a huge deal nowadays, so many great grants aren’t being discussed now. Good luck to you and happy to give you feedback if you need a fresh set of eyes.
they're executing moms and nurses in the street. they're using preschoolers as bait. they're stealing people's dads and grandmas and children. they're tear gassing babies. they're staking out schools. there is no remedy but abolition. any proposal that doesn't start there is an act of violence.
Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.
White. Hot. Rage.
Safe to say I disassociated hard this year. 😅

TL;DR: we wrote a paper on reactions to the 2025 executive orders but it's gotten rejected several times and we're looking for an appropriate venue for it.

After a 7 month delay, I finally received the NIH/NIAAA notice of award for my K08! I’m most grateful to NIH staff for trying their hardest under these conditions.
Just in time to submit a new RPPR. 😅
Timely paper published by our team. #pubs
Exposure to vicarious racism (i.e., witnessing other Latinx individuals experience racism) was related to generalized anxiety and internalizing symptoms 1 year later, for youth whose sleep quality was less stable.

I miss seeing these types of posts on my feed. Keep sharing good news, all! Congratulations, Dr Shick!
One of my summer interns is interested in "radio pharmaceutical, researching radioactive drugs, and general drug development." Would someone close to this field be willing to chat with him about your educational and career trajectory? Please RT.
Feels rather pointless that I’m about to submit three papers on an NIH project that is 5+ months late on the NOA, effectively creating a 75% salary gap for most of this year. 😐 But, I made a commitment to the funders & participants, and I'm seeing this project through to completion.
Puerto Rican eateries are finally getting their due in the national food scene. If you asked Reinaldo Sánchez a decade ago where he’d be now, his answer was not co-owning ice cream shops with his longtime friend, Lorivie Alicea. (via @ctpublic.bsky.social)
Congratulations!!!

BREAKING: A federal judge reversed National Institutes of Health's terminations of hundreds of critical research grants that were canceled because of their alleged connection to disfavored topics, including diversity, equity, inclusion, and gender identity.
This is a major win for public health.
The plaintiffs did not accuse the NIH of racial discrimination, but Judge Young raised the issue. “I have never seen racial discrimination by the government like this,” in his 40 years on the bench he said, to which there was an audible gasp in the courtroom.

Based on crowd-sourced records of No Kings Day event turnout, and extrapolating for the cities where we don't have data yet, it looks like roughly 4-6 million people protested Trump across the U.S. yesterday. That's nearly 2% of the U.S. pop!
Mobilized anti-Trump resistance is exceeding 2017 levels
Yes! I heard some people haven’t signed because they aren’t a scientist or academic. But this is about all of us.
If you are against harming research participants, sign!
If you want more life-saving treatments, sign!
If you value free speech, sign!

Genetic material shed by tumors can be detected in the bloodstream three years before cancer diagnosis, according to a study led by investigators at Johns Hopkins University.
That study was made possible with federal funding. Now, many studies like this are canceled. hub.jhu.edu/2025/06/04/...
I would have a section describing several related theoretical models and bring them together to set up the study and hypotheses.

See how NIH employees are standing up for the health and safety of the American people and faithful stewardship of public resources. Read the Bethesda Declaration and add your name in support. actionnetwork.org/forms/add-na...
Finally some good news today. EVERYONE deported to CECOT is now part of a single class action case.
“Oof, what a day 🥵,” I say, seemingly surprised, despite saying this every day this year.
