Could not get thru phone lines to @SenWarren or @SenMarkey, so I went to their Boston offices to express support for an end to horrific violence in Gaza. This crisis affects acute, chronic, and multi-generational health. Their staff were so kind and willing to speak, thank you.

Thrilled to see this paper out in the world!! We propose a decision tree to advance science and regulatory decisions on assessing chemical classes or groups. Thanks to @mvmaffini @SwatiRayasam @TraceyJWoodruff and many others for making this happen!

Adopt a class-based approach to evaluate chemical risks rather than evaluating hazardous chemicals one at a time. https://t.co/GJsZzkifdc @mvmaffini

It's a fair question to ask what the impact of 3 fossil fuel burning power plants has on the surrounding communities. Glad my report for @MassClimate was used in this hearing on the #PeabodyPeaker. You can hear more in my interview on the Climate Minute podcast.

At a public hearing last night about the proposed Peabody "Peaker," North Shore residents and environmental activists were clear: They don't want more fossil fuel infrastructure, period. And they certainly don't want it in an EJ neighborhood. https://t.co/HsCRKaKJ3E

Three brand new flex posts obliterated within days of being installed on Mass Ave x Huntington. This is the intersection where a dump truck driver killed a cyclist four months ago. @bostonbikeunion @CityOfBoston https://t.co/uSjcAs4Kea

My research with @MassClimate shows populations who live near a new power plant in Peabody already have higher disease prevalence and live in #EnvironmentalJustice neighborhoods. Thank you @bu_urban for the support to do this work! https://t.co/j1ZXq8KjEA

Cambridge covid-19 wastewater data hasn't been updated in 2 weeks. Do we have a new testing schedule? @CambridgeDPW @CambHealth @realBurhanAzeem

Alexandria Villaseñor @AlexandriaV2005

our team at @Earth_Uprising just compiled data comparing the voting records of U.S. Senators who confirmed anti-abortion judges to the Supreme Court, to the amount of funding they receive from fossil fuels. And the correlation is undeniable — and totally infuriating: /1

New study today! Since products don't come with an ingredient list, we wanted to know if product labels predicted presence of #PFAS. The headline sums it up.. we found PFAS in stain/water resistant clothing, pillow protectors, upholstery, other products marketed for children.

PFAS are showing up in children’s stain- and water-resistant products – including those labeled ‘nontoxic’ and ‘green’ https://t.co/dIerOw4occ

New #PFAS study out today with @laurelschaider! We tested 93 children's products. Water/stain resistant products had more total Fluorine detects and higher PFAS levels, even if they had "green" certifications. Obvious question- do these things need PFAS? https://t.co/dA0eubz8Tk

Delighted to present alongside colleagues at @SilentSpringIns @laurelschaider @ToxFreeFuture @Mike_Schade #KathrynCrawford on #PFAS in consumer products at the Northeast Conference on PFAS Science. Thanks #newmoa for making my first in-person conference in a long time so great!
