I lead two Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Justice (DEIJ) committees and am a member of several other DEI groups at BU. Part of my research focuses on the impact of racism and social discrimination on brain and cognitive health, which intersects with LGBTQ+. In addition, I have been mentoring students with LGBTQ+ identities.
