Friends, from my profile you can tell that in the race for NYC mayor I strongly favor Zohran. But it's also true that for today and tomorrow, perhaps the single most effective intervention Z supporters can make in the race is to give $10 each to Adrienne, Brad, Jessica, & Zellnor. Here's why. 🧵

I've already had two federal grants terminated and face a 33% pay cut due to future terminations. It's painful, but not as painful as the conversations I'm having every day with brilliant trainees in graduate school and postdoctoral positions who see little future for themselves in US science.

This #ValentinesDay #IHeartEstuaries! Estuaries make up only 4% of the continental US but 🏡 to 40% of the US population and 47% of the US GDP. Intact, healthy estuaries and coasts are critical in the protection against the worst effects of climate change. Where in #NYC was this 📷 taken? Comment 👇🏼
Op-ed: The Mets’ Metropolitan Park proposal masks the exploitative nature of a potential casino, which would prey on vulnerable Asian and working-class residents.

“Cohen frames Metropolitan Park as an all-or-nothing choice, but we don’t have to settle…a casino that would increase congestion, prey on Asian communities and exploit the earnings of the working class should not be used to justify the creation of green space.“
