The Stoop Pigeon, a women’s sports hub and cafe, has a new location and plans to open in June

It’s not just a bar, says Watch Party PHL founder Jen Leary. The all-day cafe coming to Broad Street will serve food named after Philly legends like Dawn Staley and show women’s sports at night.

I will always show up, speak up, and stand up to defend science and all it encompasses - including protecting our immigrant colleagues, students, patients and neighbors.

Thx to everyone who did just that today - showed up, spoke up, and stood up together!

The way we treat older adults transitioning to long-term care is ‘garbage’ | Opinion There is no coordinated system in place to help older adults and their families transition to long-term care and navigate the inevitable healthcare challenges they will face.

“With nowhere else to turn to help my loved ones, I reached out to a colleague who specializes in palliative care. They…echoed what seems to be the sentiment of many providers: “Our ‘system,’ it’s garbage.”
