I'll be presenting about DTSC's work on EJ in AA during this free GC&E Friday webinar this week! Great lineup of women working in alternatives assessment! #greenchemistry event.on24.com/wcc/r/496064...

I feel like if the article is more than 30 years old it should just be open access at that point!

NIH cancels participation in Safe to Sleep campaign that decreased infant deaths NIH has cancelled its participation in Safe to Sleep, a 30-year campaign to prevent babies from dying in their sleep

🚨 URGENT RESPONSE CALL 🚨
The NIH just withdrew from Safe to Sleep®—a campaign that helped cut SIDS deaths by 50%.
This quiet decision will cost babies’ lives.

We need noise. Fast. Here’s what to do ➡️🧵(1/3)

Flyer for Berkeley Center for Green Chemistry seminar on 6PPD in tires

It was a busy Earth Week! Had a fantastic time discussing California's approach to the 6PPD problem and catching up with colleagues in green chemistry 💚

High schoolers gain experience through hands-on experiments at Sacramento State A groundbreaking outreach program is giving high school students a unique opportunity to gain real-life science experience while learning about environmental protection and STEM careers.

I had a blast working with the talented students of Oakland Tech this week thru DTSC's toxic crusaders program (can you peep me in one of the photos? 👀)

Thank you Assemblymembers Ward, Ortega, and Quirk-Silva for standing with state workers and scrutinizing the unknown and unnecessary costs of the 4-day RTO order ✊
@asmchrisward.bsky.social @asmlizortega.bsky.social

How does asking thousands of state workers to commute to an office 4 days a week align with California's climate goals, Governor?

This right here is a person who punches down ⬇️ Newsom doesn't stand for anything but his own desire for more power. Get fucked Gavin.

Gov Newsom issued a new RTO mandate of 4 days in office for state employees, a slap in the face to all CA civil servants, particularly working parents, and a huge blow to California's climate goals 👎🏻

As he eyes a presidential run, I hope you all remember that
@governor.ca.gov is anti-worker ❌

Remember when NIH got an increase in funding during the first admin? What a time

Well, even cowgirls get the blues

WHAT THE LITERAL FUCK

I am skeptical about the effectiveness of the COVID tests I have at home. In the absence of CDC comms, does anyone have any useful info to share about home tests in light of current surges?

My kingdom for Adobe to default to Enable Scrolling page display 😩

A reminder
Ongoing outbreaks the US is navigating blindly with a pause on CDC communications:
Pertussis everywhere
TB in Kansas
Measles in Texas, Georgia and soon in New Mexico?
H5N1 everywhere
Seasonal flu, RSV, COVID
Norovirus
Internationally, outbreaks of Ebola, Mpox & Marburg

Uhh wtf...

Perfection

Came here to suggest this. I am grieving the loss of a friend and currently reading it. So very poignant.

Woke up today thinking about grad students and postdocs, especially those with identities under threat, my heart just hurts for you all and I want you to hear that you are so valuable and cared for. I remember (vividly) living paycheck to paycheck as a grad student and nearly leaving so many times

It's nice here :)

I decided to be more efficient in my doomscrolling & made my first starter-pack!😅

These are folks that IMO have been great sources of reliable info during the federal communication ban.

Please
1) tell me if you want to be taken off, and

2) give suggestions for others to add

Incredibly poignant after losing a dear friend a few months ago ❤️‍🩹

I would very much like to raise chickens (yes these egg prices suck). I would also very much like to not be at risk for bird flu due to unchecked corporate practices in the industrial food system coupled with rampant distrust and disinvestment in the public health system 🫠 what's a girl to do

I'm debating how/if I want to track fanfic in my Storygraph. I'm tentatively thinking about just converting word count to % of Order of the Phoenix, so I'm counting the length toward my reading goal at least. And then tracking the individual fics in my notes app separately. Idk!

shout out to me for following the vaccine schedule recommended by our pediatrician bc it made school registration a breeze!
