A bit late to the parade... but a huge congratulations to @misbath_d for her truly excellent dissertation defense and her new position at UC Berkeley! Working with you has been an absolute delight and I can't wait to see what you do next.

So excited to launch our new “faces and places of energy insecurity” on TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook. @hotandcold_nyc. Learn more about a hidden hardship affecting millions of Americans 🔥❄️
