Dr. Cicero focuses his research on understanding and addressing aging amongst trans and nonbinary people. #FeatureFriday #emancipatorysciences
Ethan Cicero Assistant Professor, Emory University, Nell Hodgson Woodruff School of Nursing, Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Future of Nursing Scholar, Butler-Williams Scholar Dr. Cicero’s program of research focuses on the interrelationship between social inequities and the effects of adverse and affirming social conditions on the health and well-being of transgender and nonbinary (TNB) adults. With a particular emphasis on promoting healthy aging and reducing the risk of Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias, Dr. Cicero’s work is at the forefront of addressing critical gaps in our understanding of aging and cognitive health among TNB populations. Throughout his research career, Dr. Cicero has pioneered methodological innovations in studying TNB adults, employing advanced epidemiologic, community-engaged, and mixed-methods approaches #emancipatorysciences #FeatureFriday Ethan Cicero His research contextualizes healthcare experiences, holistically examines health trajectories, and investigates cognitive function and decline while filling longstanding methodological voids in transgender health research. Notably, he was among the first researchers to document health differences and disparities across TNB subgroups, including transgender women, transgender men, and nonbinary adults. His leadership has shaped clinical guidelines for gender-affirming care, informed inclusive healthcare education and nursing curricula, and influenced national policy. His scholarship has been cited in landmark U.S. Supreme Court cases that have advanced civil rights for transgender people in education, healthcare, employment, and military service. The most notable case, Grimm v. Gloucester County School Board, set legal precedent that Title IX protections extend to transgender students #emancipatorysciences #FeatureFriday

So far, we know of 5 women who have been killed because of their state's abortion bans, 4 of whom are women of color. That's not an accident. Abortion bans are intentionally racist, and Black women already have 3X greater maternal mortality rate than white women. This deadly result IS the point.
