@cwhogg It’s going to be simply amazing.

Starting a NewCo and am raising $5M at $50M. All I can say is that we are going to assemble the best technologists and scientists in the world and we will use the latest in AI and computation to examine the health records databases of our nation to solve chronic disease. DM me for wiring instructions.

@BriannaABaker Wait what??

Bro my professor just had us line up from lightest to darkest in the classroom. I as the only dark skinned and only Black person in the Room am feeling unnecessarily humiliated. But I’ve already used my 1 absence and can’t flee 😭

Dr. Megan L. Ranney (@meganranney), an internationally recognized public health leader, investigator, advocate, and clinician-scientist, will become dean of the Yale School of Public Health on July 1, President Peter Salovey announced today. More: news.yale.edu/2023/01/31/meg…

CVS Health has created the Community Equity Alliance, an initiative aimed at addressing barriers to care in underserved communities. #GDBHT partner @MeharryMedical joined the initiative to gather and share data with @CVSHealth on local community needs. fiercehealthcare.com/providers/cvs-…

Setting intentions for the new year instead of resolutions is probably the better way to go. Here are my thoughts on how I’m doing it + why: andreblackman.substack.com/p/intentions-v…

@DtheNP Definitely check out @HealthInHerHue and what @AshleeWisdom is doing.

I’ve lost both my primary care doctor and my gynecologist in less than a month. There’s an added layer of hell when as a Black woman, you find someone great and they leave. It’s hard to keep putting yourself out there when it’s so much work to be seen as human. Sigh ….

Also, as others have tweeted, let's be clear about *who* conducted this study. The official name of the study is the The U.S. Public Health Service (USPHS) Syphilis Study at Tuskegee, not the Tuskegee Syphilis Study, and it should be referred to as such.

Thank you @brexHQ for featuring @HelloKnac as a top startup in ATL! Excited about our growth and what’s to come. Special s/o to @JeanineSuah for this campaign and being awesome. Excuse me while I go scream some more 🤣🥲

What a year.

@RomiyaGBarry thanks so much Romiya! Finally reaching out about this shortly -- stay tuned

@mindofandre Medtech Color profiles industry professionals and hosts events virtual and in-person Black Women in Clinical Research/ Black Men in Clinical Research have active social media communities Also willing to talk with your mentee on my experience & to provide further connections

One of my mentees is a recent Biology grad working in a busy lab — interested in career pathways at the intersection of life sciences/clinical trials, tech and Black representation/community impact. Thoughts on resources, programs or people to connect him to?

@ZinaSarif I'm late on this but would love to connect you to the mentee, Zina! Let me know how best to make that happen -- love the work you're doing.

The teaser for Kindred, a Hulu series based on Octavia E. Butler’s novel, is out:

@tiffanyiwaddell My thoughts exactly.

I built an entire community, network, and framily on this app. I made real life friends on here — and scaled a professional brand and subsequent business here. The wide access on a *free* digital tool since 2012 to gain, share, and collaborate / build has been unmatched.

@jasminecrowe Oh no…I’m so sorry, Jasmine.

I went to my friend’s funeral today. Her kids just reached me last night to tell me she passed and about the funeral today. I haven’t cried this much in a while it was sooo sad to hear and see the heartbreak of her kids man oh man it was so sad.

Make space for the unknown. Create space for the joy. The unknown is going to happen regardless. Be intentional about joyous experiences in your life. Have a great week, folks.

@hellonecole Yep. 1Password has been the lifesaver for me for the couple of years.

I can not believe I've been functioning all of this time without LASTPASS. That lost password struggle daily was unbecoming ...

This is your reminder to apply for that job. Don’t self-eliminate. I talk to too many people who say they didn’t apply because they didn’t perfectly match all of the requirements. You won't get the interview if you don't apply.
