Working w/@povertyscholar.bsky.social-first as a PhD student looking for advice from a new AP and then as a research partner-has shaped how I approach many aspects of my work. She is *brilliant*, compassionate, and genuinely dedicated to making things better for people. So thrilled for you, Jamila!
As of today, I am a FULL professor. I do not care much for occupational status markers. Still, it is not lost on me that only 2% of full professors are Black women. This goes beyond personal accomplishment. It is a responsibility to do as much as I can for others. That is exactly what I aim to do.

Once I saw a paper on condom use among bear-bear* couples that was indexed under the Animal Studies heading in PSYCinfo. Always test your filters, #MedLibs friends
*It was for a review on a gender & sexuality topic, so yeah. That kind of bear.

Just sent an e-mail to Embase Support Centre about a very strangely indexed paper... I'm used to funny 'mistakes', but this definitely gets the cake. Any other #medlibs ever seen something like this before?
