    I’m going to say this in caps bc I strongly believe this: PUBLISHING ARTICLES DOES NOT REDUCE HEALTH DISPARITIES. If you want to improve the health of poor or minoritized patients, you need to work alongside these patients. Get off your ivory tower. Bye.

    I completed my first ever research experience in medical school (systematic review) and I am just so proud of myself. I was confused and lost at every turn but I kept showing up and completing the deadlines. Go me.

    Can I just acknowledge all of the Black healthcare and public health professionals across this country who have mobilized with urgency in this moment to ensure that our communities are vaccinated? In case you don't know, this is what love looks like.

    To my fellow researchers, esp junior ones, fellows, residents and med students. Please remember, "race" is a 100% social construct, not a biological one. Please stop "throwing" race into your regression models if you're studying something biologic. Thanks

    Like the time somebody reported me to my boss after speaking on NBC news about the George Floyd protests. — that’s what I’m calling this anon resident. I wonder how many Black/Latinx med students & doctors they’ve also reported. Karen’s are everywhere.

    To the Tulane resident who reported my tweets to my school: I hope that you spend more time supporting your co-residents than you do reporting tweets about your program's racism. I won't be quiet. But thanks for trying.

    Despite assertion that I was terminated for “poor work product”, used ALL of the sessions I wrote. The last session I wrote was taught today. I never had the opportunity to teach ANY of sessions I wrote but benefited from my hard work.

    Shout out to the strong allies like ! Check out the thread to see what it's like to be an ally who speaks up when it makes others uncomfortable & refuses to be silent when others *try* to make it inconvenient.

    If only Americans felt half the outrage they feel about Texas about Puerto Rico, the commonwealth would not have suffered the largest blackout in US history. Eleven months— that’s how long it took government to restore power to the island after Hurricane Maria. Never forget.

    Tonight, I successfully defended my dissertation, and officially became Dr. Brittany A. Lopes! I know y’all have a lot of nicknames for me, so whatever they are, just make sure to put Dr. in front of it! 🧡🦃
