So excited to continue to work on this awesome project! Huge thanks to Vaughan for being an amazing partner in this opportunity to give needed attention and solutions for improving care for our #SickleCellWarriors ❤️#SickleStrongNetwork

Loved getting to talk with @DigitalDocMD about my favorite subject, the Streetlight Gaming League!
Streetlight Gaming League is a peer-to-peer #support network that allows adolescents and young adults living with #chronicillness to connect, game, and heal together.
The effects have been outstanding.

Excellent thread of scholars who study immigration tweeting out their alarm (and their research) about why restrictions like the H1B ban are impossibly, recklessly destructive. Experts are clear: bans won’t help anyone they are supposed to help, and will hurt everyone in America.
