@afondulas Thank you! Unfortunately we already published but I’ll keep these mind if and when we do another story on him. Thanks again!

@c_werth Please do! I have plenty if you’d like more to chose from

@afondulas I'm an editor with Gothamist and WNYC. Would it be possible to use this photo you took of the Flaco memorial for a story we're planning to publish this afternoon? We would credit you on the story page. x.com/afondulas/stat…

A developer tore down Greenpoint’s historic Meserole Theater and gave us this in its place

@quietguynoises Residential building lobby. I think it wants to be fancy

@c_werth It’s a fancy hotel lobby?

“It just makes me mad that he could do that and get away with it,” says John Henries. His son, Matthew, died at age three after being born with a brain injury due to the malpractice of Dr. Thomas J. Byrne. Grantees @KarenShakerdge & @c_werth for @Gothamist.bit.ly/46mF7nU

This A.M., we heard from @KarenShakerdge and @c_werth who discussed their new @WNYC podcast “Imminent Danger." In it, they uncover a system that allows doctors who've harmed patients to evade punishment, putting patients in harm's way. wnyc.org/story/when-pat…

This series and podcast is incredible.

In 1990, New York revoked the license of Dr. Thomas J. Byrne, an OB-GYN, after considering him an “imminent danger.” How did he regain his medical license and practice again? Story by grantees @MoNscience, @KarenShakerdge, & @c_werth for @Gothamist. 👉 bit.ly/3tMc6o3

Donita initially trusted Dr. Byrne. That would change after she gave birth. She was one of 11 patients the state of New York would later determine were harmed under his care. Listen to this podcast by grantees @KarenShakerdge & @c_werth for @WNYC. pulitzercenter.org/stories/podcas…

In 1991, New York health officials declared Dr. Thomas J. Byrne, an OB-GYN, an “imminent danger” to the public and stripped him of his medical license. Yet Byrne is still seeing patients today. A podcast by grantees @KarenShakerdge and @c_werth for @WNYC. pulitzercenter.org/stories/podcas…

A little side project I’ve been working on for a long time is finally out. Imminent Danger. It's a five part @WNYC investigative series about an OB/GYN who has managed to practice in multiple states for decades despite revoked licenses, continued allegations of negligence + more

Part 1 of Gothamist's and WNYC's new five-part investigative series Imminent Danger examines the track record of one OB-GYN across several states and what it says about how doctors are vetted before being allowed to treat patients. gothamist.com/news/one-docto…

Powerful, disturbing new series by @KarenShakerdge w/ @c_werth and @MoNscience on the injuries and death caused by one OBGYN whose license was revoked in NY but who still managed to practice in other states before returning to work at Harlem Hospital gothamist.com/news/one-docto…

@WNYC & @Gothamist has a new podcast series out today. It’s about an OB-GYN whose NY medical license was revoked decades ago after the state investigated several tragic cases involving his patients, but had that license restored and is practicing in NYC. Listen at link below:

Unbelievable Story Alert ‼️ NYPD sergeant drove from his Long Island home every week to his old block in Brooklyn & littered thousands of pages of paper — old pornos, a Poe novel, etc. — under cover of darkness. Why?? No one knows. Punished?? He was docked 1 vacation day.
