- Reposted by Reina Kiefer, M.A. (she/her)President Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill" will jeopardize rural hospitals that depend on Medicaid to keep their doors open. Sacrificing rural health care to give tax breaks to billionaires is blatantly unAmerican, & every Republican representing rural communities should be standing against this bill.
- Reposted by Reina Kiefer, M.A. (she/her)There's nothing holy about writing discrimination into the law.
- Beyond proud of my cohort-mates, Allegra Opiela & Emily Kenyon — who also matched at their #1 internship sites (Boston VA & Seattle VA, respectively)! Couldn’t have done it all without you two and every late night frantic text / call / Zoom we’ve ever had. Can’t wait to see what you do next!
- Hi 👋 This is me!

- Reposted by Reina Kiefer, M.A. (she/her)SIP is a two-year F31 awarded to @reina-kiefer.bsky.social by NIAAA. This project uses alcohol administration and emotion induction paradigms to investigate the effects of positive and negative emotion states on sexual assault risk perception during acute alcohol intoxication.
