This project will focus on industry thought leaders on social media and their potential to create cultural change, especially with respect to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). Thought leaders in the diversity and inclusion space on LinkedIn use their platform to address social issues related to DEI, but there is not a lot of research that has examined this aspect. To fill this gap, this study will propose interviewing thought leaders who regularly post about diversity topics on LinkedIn to gather information on their posts.

i. Patient sitters provide 1:1 supervision to patients at risk of injury to themselves or others. As there are no existing national policies that define sitter responsibility, this responsibility is left to hospitals. Current policies largely utilize sitters to provide patient safety; however, sitters often find themselves in situations which require far more than safety skills, leading to ambiguity in the role. Through my project, I will explore the experiences of current sitters and ultimately use this data to create a more comprehensive training module that reduces the ambiguity of the sitter role.
We are studying how myasthenia gravis (MG) affects women during important life stages like menstruation, pregnancy, and breastfeeding. MG is a rare, chronic condition causing muscle weakness. Many women with MG notice changes in symptoms during their periods or pregnancies. We want to understand these changes better to help doctors treat female MG patients more effectively. By collecting information through surveys, we aim to learn about symptom fluctuations related to hormonal changes and identify patterns. This study will provide valuable insights into the unique experiences of women with MG during these life stages, guiding future medical practices and improving care for individuals managing this condition.
