There are days in life that shake you.
I’m shattered 💔 to share that I just found out that the US Government terminated my 2024 NIH Director’s Early Independence Award (~$2 million), threatening my long-promised assistant professor job at @Columbia & academic career... 1/🧵

98% of NIH grants that should have gone out this month, didn't. Despite court orders 'unfreezing' the funds, they are frozen. Biomedical research will grind to a halt. Clinical trials will end. All for no reason: the total impact on the US budget is miniscule

It's time to say it: The T is working again. But we aren't in the clear. State leaders must commit to ensuring the MBTA's long-term stability.

Fine, but let's elevate every crosswalk and bike lane then too. Way more than 31 people walking and biking are hit in crosswalks every year.

With nearly all votes counted, it’s official: Proposition K passed 55% to 45%—a 10% margin!—and Upper Great Highway will be converted into a new, inclusive, accessible, and equitable oceanfront park 👏
Thank you to the leaders of the Yes on K campaign and everyone who voted Yes!

This year for Halloween, I am MASSIVE ADDITIONAL FUNDING FOR THE MBTA. As your State Rep., I have consistently fought to tax the rich and large corporations so we can fund bigger investments in public transit. This work is starting to pay off — and there’s lots more to do! 🚊💰
