Kevin Frick (he/they)

It was a pleasure to meet @ryansuk_health in person for the first time yesterday after years of SMDM e-interaction. I look forward to collaboration and bidirectional mentoring opportunities. It was worth the quick trip to Philly, although my schedule was too crazy to attend SMDM.

@MyaLRoberson That is excellent advice.

Submitted my grant materials to pre-award this morning ✅ Twirled myself around some fabric this evening ✅ The duality 🤌🏾 My unsolicited advice for new faculty? Find something that has 0 to do with your academic self, that you don’t even have to be good at, to keep you grounded

@girlislandfilm Can’t wait.

@KathyMcDonald Fortunate to have you and so many others who continue to inspire the research, teaching, and community building that have been integral parts of my experience.

@ProfKevinFrick Super energy and staying power, lucky Hopkins. Glad to have you as a colleague!

Today, I begin year 28 at Johns Hopkins. I've had quite the adventure with promotion and tenure, teaching, amazing collaborations, switching schools, mentoring, administrative roles, and the opportunity to lead on DEIB topics. I look forward to many more.

@mclemoremr I have not doubt you will misbehave in all the best ways possible. Can’t wait to hear more about your journey.

@dr_katon Cutie!

@LeahMasselink Awesome!

New email signature! 🎉🎉🎉 It has been a very long journey, and I’m so grateful to my family, friends and colleagues for their support. Onward!

I am here and looking forward to more of what I can contribute over time.

If you'd told me 27 years ago, that I would be sitting at home on a summer Saturday wearing one of my son's Temple shirts (two got accepted there, neither went, but I got hand me-ups), looking happy with a style I've developed over just the past year, I would have been skeptical.

@dr_katon Looking very happy

@SchuethAnna @brooksrunning Love the Brooks!

@MorganCShields Crazy

@sunny_c_lin @areshasays @AkreEllesse @ElleLettMDPhD @pbaJackson great group!

I'm sure I'm missing some really interesting sessions on the last day of @AcademyHealth #ARM23, but I'm back in the office attending the virtual opening meeting of a National Academies workgroup I'm privileged to co-chair. nationalacademies.org/our-work/focus…

Happy pride from LGBTQ+ health policy and health services researchers (and their allies) at @AcademyHealth!! #ARM23 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

Thankful that @dr_katon told Shanise to find me at last year's AcademyHealth meeting. We had a great first coffee in DC, and now have had coffee in Seattle twice. Never the biggest chain because she knows her coffee. We have great conversations about life and joy.

@JoanneSpetz Both the posters and the conversations are parts of why I come to this meeting. It’s a great way to invest time.

#ARM23 At a poster session, I chatted with 2 researchers about barriers to receipt of VA care for the SOGI minority population. We talked about predisposing, enabling, and need factors and the 5 A’s of access. These have stuck with me for 30+ years since undergrad days at PSU

#ARM23 Last night me and @AkreEllesse. It was great meeting her at the conference, and I look forward to having her as a colleague as she brings her energy and wisdom to JHU in the near future!
