Fascinating talk today by Interim Chair and @uwbiostat.bsky.social Prof Lianne Sheppard about the behind-the-scenes work of proposing a new & more protective air quality standard for soot. She chaired the EPA's Clean Air Sci Advisory Cmte for three years. #CleanAirAct

Understatement of the year: there's a lot happening with science and the environment...

Here's how I plan to cover these issues. Contact me if you have a story idea.
A card with contact info for reporter Lisa Song (at ProPublica). "I cover how environmental regulations -- or the lack thereof -- affect communities. I'm interested in talking to current and former employees at the EPA, NOAA, USGS and similar agencies with tips on policy changes and political meddling in scientific research." Email: lisa.song@propublica.org. WhatsApp: 646-712-0120. Signal: lisasong.42

Want to "make America healthy again"? Then EPA needs to use and follow the best available science rather than give the chemical industry free rein to poison our air, food, and water.

Devastating news. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, the world's premier worker safety research agency, is being wiped out. NIOSH's research has saved the lives, lungs, and limbs of millions of workers.

Please raise your voice. Demand RFKjr & DOGE reverse this destruction.

Walkable/bikeable communities =

When you need to drop a bike off at a bike shop for maintenance you can ride the bike there & walk, take a bikeshare bike or transit home.

Being able to choose how I get around my city is a gift.

Forced car dependency (in cities) is a mistake that we should fix.
