Had a fun time hanging around Cambridge w/ #RandallAkee, listening to a fascinating lecture from @dynarski.bsky.social , & getting 5 papers moving along. I’m grateful to have this time to learn and grow.

I wanted to thank @nber.org #SummerInstitute2025 #KittCarpenter #AmyFinkelstein #RandallAkee & #EmiliaSimeonova for the opportunity to attend, learn, & socialize w/ some great authors & researchers. It was a great experience & I gained valuable insights. Looking forward to next year!

AIAN populations have higher risk of long-CVD & lower vaxx rates. Food insecurity worsens the problem while access to Medicare helps. AIANs are affected positively to pandemic induced economic impacts wrt job loss & reduced hours. #ASHEcon2025 #NIMHD #RandallAkee #EmiliaSimeonova @nber.org #UCLA

I can't thank #RandallAkee and #EmiliaSimeonova enough for all they have done and the hope they've instilled in me, even if temporary. But the NIH is still ghosting our grant. I avoided the job market last fall and moved with consideration of my work continuing through 2026. 3/?

Special shout out to #RandallAkee #EmiliaSimeonova @nber.org & #UCLA for making this trip possible, @shooshan.bsky.social #MonicaDeza & #TimHodge for being awesome co-authors, and #BrandynChurchill for inviting me to discuss other papers.
