    Received reviewer comments back today. Claimed that attributing health disparities to "racism & racial discrimination" suggests "the authors come in w a preconceived political bias & not an objective scientific view of the evidence." 🙃 We have so much work to do, #MedTwitter

    I am in shock as an alum. The Black Justice League students have been calling for this since '15, threatened w disciplinary action incl suspension/expulsion, gaslit by events/committees/Trustees report. Students put themselves on the line, @Princeton doesnt get the credit here.

    Wearing hoop earrings into lab today. May not seem like a big deal but I didn't put on a pair of hoops after age 11 until I was a sophomore in college bc I was told it was "too Latina." Well, as a #LatinasInMedicine + #DiverseDoubleDocs, I am now always proud to be too Latina 💁🏽‍♀️

    When I started college, I didn't know what scientists did, let alone a physician-scientist 👩🏽‍⚕️ Yet here I am a decade later, getting my first independent F30 fellowship grant from the NIH as an MD-PhD student ☺️ #DoubleDocs #LatinasInMedicine @TriIMDPhD @BayliesLab @NICHD_NIH
