I lost my grandpa on Jan 2. He was 97! He gave me my first real film camera and sparked my love of photography and my way of seeing the world, so sharing a photo in his memory seems fitting. <3

Clearly fighting jetlag & a toddler that sings past midnight while trying to do some deep work, so of course, the mind fights back by wandering to other fun papers. Anyway, this chapter on public engagement & an ecological & equitable model of knowledge production is so beautifully written! #scicomm

To all the young people in New York and across our country who count on gender-affirming care:

I won't let this administration come for you, your doctors, or your lifesaving health care. 

Your health care is still legal and protected. 

I'll always fight for you.

Tomorrow, the House of Representatives will vote on a bill that bans gender-affirming medical care for any transgender person under 18, and threatens any medical professional providing this care to youth with 10 years in prison.

Tell Congress to protect trans youth and vote NO.

As wave after wave of extreme measures to criminalize and strip trans people of rights and safety continue, tell Congress to act.

A decades-long municipal scandal that deserves far more attention than it gets: construction and capital projects in New York City schools are inconceivably expensive, never completed on time, and of shoddy, inferior quality. Another form of wealth extraction from the city to parts unknown.

I'm quoted in this @chalkbeat.org piece about the massive problems w/ NYC's School Construction Authority. The agency operates w/ very little oversight, leaving schools in poor condition & costing taxpayers millions in overruns. Students & communities deserve better www.chalkbeat.org/newyork/2025...
