Has anyone had recent contact or updates from NIH LRP program? I haven’t had payments or even received emails in quite some time.

@drheatherfarmer.bsky.social
Assistant Professor of HDFS at the University of Delaware. I study stress-related biopsychosocial mechanisms underlying health inequities across the life course.
I also decided to lean into my style and dyed my hair orange (my daughter’s inspiration).
This year, I have grown my lab and found my groove in terms of mentoring. I’m so proud of what I (and we) have accomplished so far and will continue to do.
I need to use this platform more often. Alas, I’m here. I’ve been soaking up all the fun fall moments in this final year before going up for tenure.
I’m training a PhD student who is so great to work with. I get random messages about how excited they are to see my publications using intersectionality. 🥲
A new NBER working paper by @jscottclayton.bsky.social and colleagues shows that about two-thirds of the unexplained gap in post-college earnings by family income may be due to challenges in finding that first job. Family connections and resources matter.

How’s everyone doing? I am tending to some areas that I had to get stitches on and also searching for my chemical romance tickets that are less than $200. I’m also still so happy from seeing my favs The Dollyrots on Friday with my kiddo!
Twyla wants you to have a great Friday. She says you can do this!
And because I can only (1) never post at all or (2) post multiple times consecutively…look at this sticker I got for my car at a punk rock flea market. I couldn’t not get it.
Kids are great. Even when they assume that movies were only in black and white when you were a kid.
From the administration that erased trans people from Stonewall's history:
Hegseth on restoring a Confederate monument in Arlington cemetery: "We recognize our history. We don't erase it. We don't follow the woke lemmings off the cliff that want to tear down statues ... we're proud of our history."
I grew up hearing relatives describe feeling brushed off in clinics and spoken to like their concerns were a nuisance. Those stories pushed me toward a PhD in Population Health Sciences and my 1st project on discrimination in healthcare. @journalgim.bsky.social link.springer.com/article/10.1...

I know I have great collaborators when I’m excited to set up recurring meetings with them and counting down till we meet. @jeffstokes.bsky.social 🥲 I cherish our friendship and working together. Sorry I hid from you that time at GSA so u didn’t have to be social with a new person.
🧪 Attention those with terminated grants, including for NSF, NASA, EPA, NIH, etc: Let Congress know about the impact of terminations via this form: democrats-science.house.gov/grantcancela... Only Dem staff on the House Science Committee will have access (unless if you explicitly state otherwise).
I’m recovering from another surgery and have fallen into the labubu craze. I love them and want some of the energy ones and the pumpkin one.
A rare and honest statement from @alzassociation.bsky.social about the dangerous myths being perpetuated by RDK Jr about Alzheimer’s disease and our incredible research and progress. Please read. www.alz.org/news/2025/ke...

The Alzheimer's Association calls on HHS Secretary Kennedy to stop dangerous fabrications about the state of Alzheimer’s and dementia research.

My glasses are breaking and @warbyparker.bsky.social is not being as helpful about it as I’d hope. Who’d yall recommend that’s got great selection, high quality, and not overly expensive?
"Women are PIs on 58% of the canceled grants, although they are PIs on only 34% of all active NSF grants. Similarly, Blacks are PIs on 17% of the terminated grants, although they make only 4% of the total pool. Hispanic PIs and those with disabilities were twice as likely to lose a grant."
Another scoop from Jeff Mervis (@policyhound.bsky.social): NSF's ~1400 grant terminations have disproportionately affected PIs from groups underrepresented in science: women, racial & ethnic minorities, & those with disabilities. 1/3 www.science.org/content/arti...
