As a mom and a woman in science, I’m positioned and ready to fight RFK Jr.’s misinformation and drive meaningful change aimed at improving women’s and children’s health. My oped with @EHNewsroom ehn.org/rfk-jr-women-s…

.@BostonGlobe article on study that found previously unmeasured quantities of #nanoplastics in bottled water also picked up my comment that phthalates, bisphenols (with their own sets of health effects) also leach from micro- and nano-plastics bostonglobe.com/2024/01/10/met…

Check out the latest #podcast by Silent Spring's Dr. Elissia Franklin on "Chemicals and Cosmetics: Understanding the Risks." Produced by @theresearchher in partnership with @ResilientSP. #endocrinedisruptors #beautyjustice open.spotify.com/episode/0H1jAw…

Could not get thru phone lines to @SenWarren or @SenMarkey, so I went to their Boston offices to express support for an end to horrific violence in Gaza. This crisis affects acute, chronic, and multi-generational health. Their staff were so kind and willing to speak, thank you.

@drdavidmichaels @jdforward Oh my goodness, what a life. I'm a big fan of your work, it all makes sense now!

Lovely piece about my mother Ruth Gruber, who led a truly remarkable, impactful life, wrote 18 books, and was a role model for many women and girls. She died seven years ago at age 105. @jdforward tinyurl.com/y8mbhj4n

@spidermaani the little sneakers!! too cute

Find something you love as much as Milo loves bus journeys

I had some great company testifying on Act Relative to Toxic Free Kids at the MA state house!

Did you know the first female crash test dummy for car safety testing was just introduced this past year? It's no wonder women are 73% more likely to be injured & 17% more likely to be killed in a car crash because cars have been designed to protect men.

Assessing and managing the risk of chemicals based on groups or families makes more sense and has many advantages, chief among them reducing exposure to many harmful chemicals at once which can improve public health. More on how to do it here prheucsf.blog/2023/01/31/its…

Thrilled to see this paper out in the world!! We propose a decision tree to advance science and regulatory decisions on assessing chemical classes or groups. Thanks to @mvmaffini @SwatiRayasam @TraceyJWoodruff and many others for making this happen!

@ERJ_Lab @TJamesTodd_PhD @robinedodson Heck yes, @robinedodson makes some noise!! 📢📢📢

We’re back with a new episode! @TJamesTodd_PhD is joined by @robinedodson in a conversation about chemicals of concern in personal care products marketed to and used by women of color and the drivers behind the racial inequities in these exposures.

It's a fair question to ask what the impact of 3 fossil fuel burning power plants has on the surrounding communities. Glad my report for @MassClimate was used in this hearing on the #PeabodyPeaker. You can hear more in my interview on the Climate Minute podcast.

Three brand new flex posts obliterated within days of being installed on Mass Ave x Huntington. This is the intersection where a dump truck driver killed a cyclist four months ago. @bostonbikeunion @CityOfBoston

My cat's enthusiastic reaction to "Use of a piecemeal, linear approach [as opposed to systems approach] does population health an injustice." in new #CommercialDeterminantsofHealth book! 🔥🔥 edited by @spidermaani @sandrogalea Mark Pettigrew

@dharnanoor @MassClimate Thank you for covering this!

new @MassClimate analysis on the under-construction Peabody peaker plant found that those living within 2 km of it already experience significantly elevated rates of cancer & other serious health problems (and more) bostonglobe.com/2022/11/04/sci…

@spidermaani @OUPAcademic @petticrewmark @sandrogalea My copy arrived!! Going to be a wild Friday night for me 🥳🥳🥳

🚨 Our new book "The Commercial Determinants of Health" is now available for pre-order from @OUPAcademic! V grateful to co-editors @petticrewmark @sandrogalea for their partnership on this project. #CDOH global.oup.com/academic/produ…

My research with @MassClimate shows populations who live near a new power plant in Peabody already have higher disease prevalence and live in #EnvironmentalJustice neighborhoods. Thank you @bu_urban for the support to do this work! #bgmp-comments" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">bostonglobe.com/2022/11/04/sci…

Congratulations to Dr. Susmann for a great dissertation defense today!! @herbps10 🥳

@cedenolaurent @RutgersSPH Congratulations!

🥁drumroll please… I’m joining the faculty @RutgersSPH this summer to lead the Climate Adaptive & Restorative Environments (CARE) Lab. Very excited to start a program focused on the development of climate solutions to protect human health. #AcademicTwitter #climatechange
