If @chicagodpd really wants to be the forward-thinking branch of local government that it claims to be then bird-safe architecture is non-negotiable for @ChicagosMayor @chicago_sun This is not a "bird lover" problem but a key issue in the #biodiversitycrisis

Today is the day of action for birds that migrate through Chicago. We are calling on our Mayor and DPD to make include mandatory protections for birds in the plan they release on April 15. Please join us by posting a graphic and tagging @chicagosmayor and @chicagodpd today.

Thrilled to share our analysis of over 300 interviews w/ people who use drugs across the US re: attitudes towards sex work & so happy I got to present it to a lovely audience at @AHSRConference yesterday! Feeling very inspired by all my colleagues 🙂 sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Milwaukee County will soon have 11 new “Harm Reduction Vending Machines” located around the county to combat overdose deaths. The machines will provide free access to harm reduction supplies like fentanyl test strips, nasal naloxone, etc. buff.ly/3OM2Xmn


Very happy that this labor of love is now published -- sexual health and pelvic pain are woefully understudied which is a major disservice to our patients. Honored to collaborate with this stellar group! tandfonline.com/eprint/UY8TVDS…

If you're thinking about mass incarceration this #Juneteenth2023, consider the complete scope: not just 2 million people behind bars, but 3.5 million on probation and parole, systems that can replicate prison conditions in the community. 30% of people under supervision are Black.

Beyond grateful for this team and our participants for all of their hard work in addressing the opioid overdose crisis among at-risk populations. Feeling so lucky to have been able to share our work at @CPDDorg this morning!
