It was a pleasure to join Kathryn Anne Edwards on this work. Her approach is critical for thinking about preparation for careers, not just the first job. Job placement is an important goal for subbac workforce dev programs, but shouldn’t be the whole goal.

My op-ed in FORTUNE We found that doubling funding for research on rheumatoid arthritis in women would deliver an ROI of 174,000% and add $10.5 billion to our economy over the 30-year timespan. Thank you The OpEd Project for the training. fortune.com/2022/02/11/wom…

How have historic discriminatory housing policies shaped cities? A new tool from RAND and Jaime Madrigano @Sameer_Siddiqi @SRStephenson Grace Gahlon Ramya Chari and Carlos Calvo Hernandez allows one to answer this question. rand.org/well-being/com…

The tool allows one to visualize how environmental hazards and amenities (including air pollution, traffic volume, flood risk, temperature, and tree canopy) align with historically redlined neighborhoods in 200+ U.S. cities.

Register for the Cochlear Center Research Day at Johns Hopkins University! Hear from our amazing researchers and enjoy a poster session by our trainees, including my work “Satisfaction with Care, Hearing Loss, Hearing Aids, and Race” with Nicholas S Reed @2E_Garcia

Excited to share that I’ve been awarded the Cochlear Center Epidemiology Scholarship for Sensory Loss in Aging! I am looking forward to continuing research with Nicholas S Reed at the intersection of medical device technology and sensory loss.

FDA writing in NEJM on the use of Real World Evidence in drug development and post market Pharmacovigilance “In general, the pandemic has accelerated awareness and adoption of RWD and RWE, but their use was already increasing before the pandemic.” nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…

This hits extremely close to home for me. I am horrified. No reason this should be happening anywhere.

For anyone seeking an overview of what scientific evidence says about the effects of various gun policies, RAND maintains a thorough, easy-to-use resource. rand.org/research/gun-p…

It’s hard for me to believe that this study first began when Carrie Nieman, MD MPH began working with me as a resident. Seven years later, Carrie and her team have seen this project through to completion with the first hearing loss RCT ever published in JAMA in its 139 year history!

New in JAMA - a study by Alison Huang PhD found that older adults with greater severity of #HearingLoss were more likely to have #dementia, but likelihood of dementia was lower among hearing aid users compared to non-users. bit.ly/3X2OLYV

Research letter out today with Nicholas S Reed and Esther S. Oh on patient-centered care and hearing loss! cc: JHU Cochlear Center for Hearing and Public Health agsjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

New read by Nicholas S Reed Esther S. Oh & Grace Gahlon: - #HearingLoss is assoc'd with⬆️odds of perceiving ⬇️patient-centered care - When stratified by race, assoc only remained among minority participants - More work needed at the intersection of race & disability/hearing 👂
