I can't sleep, I keep hearing from friends all over with bad news

Dear friends fired from CDC in the middle of the night at an overseas posting. Absolute devastation after decades of service to our country and global health.

A fucking travesty.

I am writing this because it has swiftly become crystal clear to me that many people have no idea what is happening or how this works. Here is a thread for non-academics to put into context what just happened to Dr. Mark Bray, a fellow historian.

I do ok, but sometimes my imposter syndrome gets the better of me. Like today, when a very senior colleague reached out to recommend me for a cool opportunity, and I just assumed it was a mistake. It wasn't an error, y'all, she really did mean me 😭

Yep, I know I'm hitting bottom when I have a physical sticky note that looks like this stuck to my phone 😭

I would enjoy (lovingly! politely!) interrupting you!

Short interruptions are my love language, and I'm always trying to remember not everyone loves that 😅

Lab dinner! It's a rough time to be fighting for global health equity, but I'm lucky to be doing it with this crew in the Emory Co-Design Lab for Health Equity @emorycshh.bsky.social @emoryrollins.bsky.social
Me and the lab crew outside on campus!
