This is cool - and there are entirely too many (including several who aren’t on Bsky) but one who I’m always inspired by is @ldscherer.bsky.social Social psychologist and decision scientist extraordinaire, with an absolutely bonkers intellect and the unique ability to translate for the rest of us.

I am deeply worried about our field and how these cuts will direclty hurt the American public.
And we in injury prevention science will continue on as best we can!

Love it. Ingenuity through and through for everyone’s good. #STLstandup
Our latest study in BMJ Open examined how women react to learning about overdiagnosis in breast cancer screening. We found that preexisting beliefs about cancer made it hard for some women to comprehend and accept overdiagnosis bmjopen.bmj.com/content/15/3/e087997

Great to join law enforcement leaders at our first ever POST Colorado Conference. We discussed a range of important issues facing public safety, including gun violence prevention, domestic violence, officer recruitment, and the opioid crisis. See

Such a weird pivot. This isn’t even anti-vax. It’s pro-measles
Hey gun violence prevention research friends! Anyone know what's happening with grants submitted to that CDC RFA back in December? On the one hand, it's just as up in the air as every other review/section, but on the other hand, its SRG (ZCE1 SRC (99)) doesn't show up on rosters, registries...
Sitting at an outdoor bar in San Antonio, eating bar food, watching basketball, drinking beer, and getting ready to talk about how to best prevent suicide deaths among veterans. Same energy.
NIH funding is crucial for us, as Colorado is a research hub for medical research that saves lives and provides jobs; the long term impact on of the Administration's proposed cut would thus be dramatic here. That's why I am fighting them in court. news.cuanschutz.edu/coloradosph/...
Freezing out the NIH's funding means freezing out American innovation.
Research into curing cancer, Alzheimer's, and Parkinson's all delayed.
And ultimately it won't just cost us advancements in life-saving research, it will cost us lives.
Please don’t stop sharing and posting your science because of the current attack on it, it is still valuable and reminds us what the fight is for

Excited that this is now out in JAGS. We talked to care partners of people with dementia about the process of deciding whether and how to have firearms in the home. It’s complex, but there are ways to have honest/helpful conversations. agsjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
The unconstitutional impoundment of funds is unprecedented, very harmful, and dangerous. That is why I am filing a lawsuit today to stop it.
A groundbreaking study led by @jabarocas.bsky.social and published in the American Academy of Pediatrics found that 25% of youth experienced homelessness in Denver in 2021—a troubling trend that's been rising since 2017. https://buff.ly/4h4Lbaw

AI can draw a fake picture of me dunking on Wembenyama but it can’t cancel an email to avoid very obvious embarrassment
Best part of the bathroom - amidst legitimate chaos, there’s a trash can lined with what looks like a plastic grocery bag. They’re just like us
It seems to work out that way - we also have an amazing second dog Sweet, gentle, easy. But we’re probably giving him a complex because he can’t ever actually be the first one.
Them: the study was so uncomfortable. There’s no way I ever slept so I couldn’t have apnea.
Us: Yeah it’s pretty uncomfortable and we appreciate you beating with us. That said, we were watching your brain, so….
