Probably my favorite part of #srachicago2024 so far! A reminder of why we do science to support the lives of our bold, creative, forward-thinking teens. They have SO much to teach us. #adolescentscience

Queer disabled teens are more likely to experience LGBT- and disability-based bullying, greater average stress, and lower levels of school safety compared to non-disabled queer teens. @benrenley Ryan J. Watson sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

For #LGBTQ+ youth, systemic barriers often impede participation in organized #physicalactivity. This study takes a unique approach to understanding these, & other barriers, by using an intersectional, person-centered analysis 🏳️‍🌈 doi.org/10.1123/jpah.2… Currently 🆓 to read

A personal story about how the potential grant funding freeze might affect science. Right now, I'm in my fourth year of a 5-year NIH grant and my last year of funding is supposed to start February 1st. I'm supporting a postdoc, two graduate students, and two lab managers
