the Epstein files are really devastating because they remind me of how many girls and women miss out on professional opportunities, mentorship and careers because of how many powerful, rich and influential men only view girls and women — and interactions with them — through the lens of sex

News from central Jersey: I'm running to represent New Jersey's 12th Congressional District.
By entering the fray, I hope to bring ideas of repairing our frayed republic. Not only to defend it in 2026, but to build something stronger, for generations to come!

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.”
That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.
Want to join me to donate for essentials for parents like diapers and warm food? Or care of pets whose owners are suddenly gone? Or rent for people who can't get to work?

People, we need you in the streets today. Really, we do. We need to show them we won’t accept a regime that kills its own citizens. They do not have the consent of the governed.

Standing on the shoulders of giants. Researchers (nodes) at early (red), mid (blue) and late (grey) career stage who have built on one another's work (edges). Large nodes are researchers whose work would not be recognized with journal level metrics but would be recognized with article level metrics. Credit: B. Ian Hutchins
Are authors fairly judged by assessing the #journals in which their work is published? @bihutchins.bsky.social &co reveal that most influential papers are published in lower tier journals, and more authors would be better recognized with #ArticleLevelMetrics #ALMs @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/4oV58Ed
