A field of sunflowers bathed in golden light

Maneesh Juneja is a dynamic person, both in person and online, and I’m proud to call him a friend and community colleague. Unfortunately, he has been living with LongCovid, the long-term effects of the COVID-19 virus, for nearly 12 months.

98% of LGBTQ+ youth have used digital tools for health purposes

The complete survey findings, methodology, quotes from participants, fact sheets, and questionnaire […]

Half of those with moderate to severe symptoms of depression have looked online for people with similar health concerns and 75% have used health apps

I am thrilled to share that my research partners and I will release a new survey report on March 17: Coping with COVID-19: How Young People Use Digital Media to Manage Their Mental Health.

From stunt to solution

I’m so nostalgic for breathing in other people’s ideas and aerosols that I’m re-reading notes from past meetings.
