#ADA2024 excellent session on the future of GWAS for diabetes! Amazing work by @miriam_udler is so popular that she needs two microphones!

While we work to overcome barriers to trial enrollment for Black, Hispanic, and Other race or ethnicity individuals, we must also work to ensure they receive equitable care within trials - examining our own biases and working to overcome the ongoing effects of structural racism.

Altogether, we learned: 1. Disparities in treatment goal achievement exist even within RCTs, more so with more intensive interventions. 2. These may be partially mediated by implicit bias or other factors contributing to different implementation of trial protocols.

Within the supportive context of a clinical trial (incl. regular access to healthcare, health education, free meds), you might expect health disparities to resolve...right? Read on to see what @tthaweethai @DeborahWexler and I found in ACCORD. link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Grateful to be a part of this fantastic team of people raising awareness about disparities in bone health. Article is open access through mid-august!

We are creating a #Science-themed playlist. What songs MUST we include? 🎵

@hsdash @MGHanesthesia @MGH_RI @MassGeneralNews @harvardmed Congratulations!!! Well-deserved!

I’m excited to share the opening of my clinical nutrition research lab today at @MGHanesthesia. I’m incredibly grateful for my mentors, friends, and family who have helped make this a reality. Hirings and lab website coming soon! @MGH_RI @MassGeneralNews @harvardmed

A succinct and informative reminder that men and women have different risk factors, presentations, and experience of diabetes!

Many congratulations to Dr. Enrique Caballero-Robles - a wonderful teacher, mentor, collaborator, and patient advocate!

@miriam_udler @Riudecanyenc and I are hiring a postdoc experienced in genomics and computational biology to work at the intersection of social determinants of health, genomics, and food choice behavior. Motivated to move the field forward? Apply today! partners.taleo.net/careersection/…

Public health efforts to mitigate the impact of metabolic disease should take a whole-person approach and may have benefits for people across the genetic risk spectrum. Now let's work on policies to build health equity!

The best collaborators are the ones who beat you to the tweetorial! Thanks, @Riudecanyenc! Read on to see what we learned about the intersection of genetic and socioeconomic risk factors and metabolic disease.
