I have been hearing a lot recently from female mentees about discomfort with sharing accomplishments publicly on platforms like Twitter. Let’s amplify the voices of female scientists and also support them to find their own voice to share accomplishments.

I hope we can all be extra gracious and show kindness and love to parents of young kids under 5 who don't have the option to get their kids vaccinated in the omicron surge. Sending peace and strength. I see you all. I haven't forgotten how hard it is to have unvax kiddos at home

True story. I was rejected from Penn for undergrad, law school, and psychology PhD (it took me a tiny bit to figure out what I wanted to do with my life 🤣🤣). Now I'm an Associate Prof at Penn Med. Never give up on your dreams and the road is windy.
To any high school students out there right now that may be absolutely crushed because you were rejected by your dream school...know that ~ 10 years later you could be teaching medical students surgical skills at that same dream school.

Stressful for so many reasons. The right thing to do was to keep him home. It shouldn't be so hard to get tested. We are putting parents/schools in an impossible situation. We are incentivizing parents to turn a blind eye to mild symptoms. We have to make it easier to test.

I'm always jarred by how hard it is to find MH care when I help family and friends navigate as a psychologist. The reality is that there are a number of mountains to overcome. Access, quality, and barriers to engaging all major issues. Need federal resources and coordination.
In rural Texas, I looked for mental health providers for one of my kids for 2 years.
When you add insurance limitations, waiting lists, and the lack of infinite time..
The reality is there's no one to "reach out" to.
