Teens appreciated that the program materials reflected their lived experiences as Somali American youth. “I liked how they included that a person can belong in more than one culture.”

Even better, teens liked it! “The video wasn’t one of those soulless informative videos you’d see playing during class.”

🔥Hot off the press 🔥 We piloted JMGC-SA with Somali American teens in 2021. Even during a pandemic, school-based delivery of the digital and culturally tailored intervention was feasible. #HealthEquity 🧵⬇️ https://t.co/hinlmetQby @BanegasJasmine @SarahCGillespie @Ferguson_Lab

It was an absolute privilege working on this paper with @JoseCausadias and @Ferguson_Lab! Their communication of some pretty COMPLEX ideas into simple and easy to understand figures is nothing short of magic. 🪄

Air pollution warnings are becoming more and more familiar in the United States. Newly published research suggests that even air pollutant levels deemed safe by the @EPA are linked to changes in brain network connectivity development. Found out more: https://t.co/dGHjmEdhGk

Being a first-time instructor of record was a doozy, but I loved watching students reflect on what they learned this semester!!

Very cool to see this work being cited by many other awesome researchers interested in this topic and the pandemic. Can't wait to talk with more people about my follow-up to this work at @SRCDtweets this year and at my dissertation defense in May @UMN_ICD!
