Itβs often overlooked that MLKβs dream was divisive in his day. Resistance is not a signal of failure. Itβs often a clue that youβre ahead of your time. Visions for change elicit opposition from defenders of the status quo. Rocking the boat is a precursor to progress.

The person who talks the most is the most likely to become the leader. Data: regardless of intelligence and expertise, groups elevate those who command the most airtime. It's time to stop rewarding people for dominating the discussion, and start valuing quality over quantity.

No child should experience discrimination or the threat of discrimination. Trans and gender diverse children and adolescents are some of the most vulnerable in our community. They need and deserve our support, respect and protection. https://t.co/ggUQwA8ngj

Trans and gender diverse kids need and deserve our support, our respect, and our protection. Any action that leads to their exclusion and increases their vulnerability will likely cause unacceptable harm.
No child should experience discrimination or the threat of discrimination. Our research & clinical work tell us that trans & gender diverse children & adolescents are some of the most vulnerable in our community. Read MCRI's joint statement w/@RCHMelbourne

In this study two thirds of public health trials had an impact on health policy or practice - far more than anticipated. And trials with more comprehensive knowledge translation strategies were more likely to have impact. https://t.co/XSpODf7nHE
