“I just wanted to say thank you once again for the support in the last few years. I’ve been thinking a lot about it recently! I’m working with academics in public health and queer equity, and everyone gets very excited when I talk about our research – which is a really cool feeling. 😊  The research about spatial disparities in access to health services and community organizations left a lot of lingering questions, which then turned into my thesis. Very full circle moment.” Trent Baldwin
