I know someone who had rhabdo last year after a workout. We haven't found resources about if working out should change going forward, and what else to keep an eye on (drs don't seem to know). Would appreciate recommendations if you have them.

Y'all couldn't write "Connie Ballmer"???????

The PATH used to take metrocards, but now won't take OMNY?

THE HOUSE JUST VOTED TO EXTENDED TPS FOR HAITI!!! Thank you, Rep. Ayanna Pressley for your leadership on this. Proud to help co-lead this effort for our Haitian brothers, sisters, and siblings. What a day.

i feel bad for our country but this is tremendous content

Screenshot of article which reads: An increasing number of scholars and artists are likely to pursue these fellowship opportunities in the wake of disruptions in federal funding. Private funders’ choices will play a key role in determining which scholars are able to explore under the “freest possible conditions,” in the process revealing their vision for the future of research and creative pursuits. There is no shortage of talent and brilliance across the country and the larger world. Funders get to decide how they identify that talent—and, equally importantly, whose talent they choose to cultivate.

Screenshot of article which reads: The historical trends show that the longstanding methods of selection, which often overlook the cumulative advantages provided by prestigious institutional affiliation, tend to coincidentally find talent in the same places, year after year. Ignoring this reality will result in replicating the status hierarchy of the past decades, all too often rewarding those already flush with resources at the risk of slowing or even halting innovative work from those less well-connected.

Got the idea for this project when I applied for one of these and couldn't find any research on who wins them. I honestly don't know that I would apply again after collecting this data & having to think hard about what it means to hope you're the exception that allows status to maintain its power.
