Longitudinal Links Between Vicarious Racism and Mental Health Among Mexican-Origin Adolescents: The Moderating Role of Daily Sleep Quality To investigate how exposure to vicarious racism for Mexican-origin adolescents is associated with subsequent generalized anxiety and internalizing sym…

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.

Out-of-this-world, James Beard-nominated ice cream shop arrives in New Haven from San Juan The co-owner of Vía Láctea explains what drew him to plant-based ice cream –– and Connecticut.

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.

"No Kings Day" protests turn out millions Our unofficial estimate is that around 4 million people attended a protest event yesterday. Anti-Trump resistance is outpacing 2017.

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!

Cancers can be detected in bloodstream three years prior to diagnosis Detection of cancer before a clinical diagnosis could give patients and caregivers more time for intervention and may lead to better outcomes because tumors are more likely to be curable

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.

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.
