One week from today! Learn how and why it is so important to close the gap in chemical exposure assessments and why this issue is critical to environmental justice. Register here: healthandenvironment.org/webinars/96696

As I told @insideclimate, the Administration's consistent efforts to investigate sanitation issues in Lowndes County validates what we have been trying to give voice to for many years – and is hopefully an important step towards long-lasting solutions. insideclimatenews.org/news/10072023/…

SO excited to co-present this webinar with @CHE_healthenv on closing the exposure assessment gap and protecting communities. Hear from @bhavnasham & @BW4WLA abt the patchwork regulatory environment around phthalates & what steps to take moving forward! healthandenvironment.org/webinars/96696

This is for anyone interested in protecting truly independent science 👇🏾 How can #EPA protect your health and prioritize environmental justice when polluting industries are at the table and community scientists are outside?

EPA today took a major step in restricting the deadly #methylenechloride but exceptions leave workers and communities at risk. We urge #EPA to do better.

I have reinstalled Twitter to respond to this story and make sure my voice is fully heard. I am Casey. My real name is Alex but my mom decided it would be best to hide it for anonymity. But this is my story, not hers. This is not the free press’s story.

Our team is getting ready for today’s Hill briefing on how #EPA can use the best available science to better protect communities from hazardous chemicals.

Eastwind books is so close to my heart and one of my most favorite places in Berkeley, I'm so sad to see its storefront go. While they're closing their physical location they do still have online offerings at asiabookcenter.com!

The biggest study in the US to date showing ⬆️PFAS are linked to ⬇️ birthweight. In not just 1, but all 5 PFAS detected in 11 pregnancy cohorts across the US. Thank you @ECHOChildHealth for making this possible and @EPA for starting to regulate PFAS in drinking water!

@Christine_ScD If you were a pizza what toppings would you be. Note this is DIFFERENT from your favorite pizza toppings, but more what toppings your personality would be. I did the same over the holidays with holiday side dishes lol

@YoshikaCrider @SeqH2O Excited to read it!!
