Queer disabled teens are more likely to experience LGBT- and disability-based bullying, greater average stress, and lower levels of school safety compared to non-disabled queer teens. Benton M. Renley Ryan J. Watson sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Probably my favorite part of #srachicago2024 so far! A reminder of why we do science to support the lives of our bold, creative, forward-thinking teens. They have SO much to teach us. #adolescentscience

That's a wrap! Feeling energized after an incredible few days of programming at Society for Research on Adolescence - caught a ton cool research (much of it queer!). A joy to see several of my RAs present & catch up with dear friends, old and new. #SRACHICAGO2024 Eric Layland, PhD🏳️‍🌈 Vanderbilt LGBTQ+ Policy Lab

Really proud of this work, motivated directly by young people and made specifically for them. 🗣️🗣️🗣️ We find that MOST transmasc youth bind. We, as scholars and practicioners, owe them science about binding! Grateful to Antonia Caba Ryan J. Watson and Jessica Fish, PhD for collab!

One of the first articles on chest binding using a large national sample of LGBTQ youth. Check it out! nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%…

We are hiring a Post Doc and Project Director for an exciting project in collaboration with the CT Office of Early Childhood that brings home visiting expertise to child care settings. Post Doc: jobs.hr.uconn.edu/cw/en-us/job/4… Project Director: jobs.hr.uconn.edu/cw/en-us/job/4…

The study conducted by InCHIP at UConn researchers underscores the importance of enabling sexually and gender diverse youth to have control over when and how they disclose their identities to others. today.uconn.edu/2024/02/stress…

“In recent years, we’ve seen an increase in anti-LGBTQ+ legislation targeting kids ... Even the introduction of the bills may have an immediate and real impact on kids’ lives and their mental health.' --Ryan J. Watson
