I've got a new #article out!!

"Measuring Geographic Access to #Transgender Hormone Therapy in Texas: A 3-Step Floating Catchment Area Analysis" in #spatial #spatiotemporal #epidemiology journal

Major takeaways:
- #trans care access does not neatly follow patterns of access for primary care
- service planning could tackle overlapping care deserts for primary and #genderaffirmingcare
- spatial methods WILDLY underutilized in trans research

Had a great time at #PAA2023 this past week! It was my first time and didn't know what to expect but it was great!

Got to present my work on #geography methods for access to #genderaffirmingcare in Texas

Chaired/organized two panels on #SOGI #demography that were standing room only (like 50-75 people!)

Met a bunch of new colleagues and friends

and now there's talk of a #queer #trans demography affinity group     🥰

Really excited and grateful to announce I won this year's #AAG2023 #digital #geography outstanding #dissertation award for my dissertation "Incomplete Data & Insufficient Methods: Transgender Population Health Research in the US"

Can't say thank you enough to the digital geographies specialty group, the reviewers, and everyone who supported me during that dissertation (which I only defended 10 months ago! 😳 )

Brimming with pride :)
