Such a treat to meet with Rhode Island Senator @SenJackReed, a huge champion of @Fogarty_NIH. Sweet to reminisce about the legacy of my mother, RI energy czar and established the policy framework for the first USA offshore windmills off Block Island.

Fun fact: @JeromeAdamsMD was a @Fogarty_NIH research fellow in the 1990s. He visited @NIH in 2019 and saw the stairwell enhanced for the Surgeon General’s #StepItUp call to action for walkable communities.
