Personal news: I'm looking to expand the perreo contingent at @statnews. We badly need more Latinxs, more Caribbeans, more flavor in science journalism. Know an early-career journalist? Tell them to apply to this fellowship. Deadline is May 1. https://t.co/64v3Fgsyy7

My TWO year old is having her first active shooter drill tomorrow. This is America. Politicians line their pockets instead of passing any kind of laws that could protect our children from gun violence, which is now the #1 cause of death for children. https://t.co/0WOI1hxaSf

Firearm-related injury is now the leading cause of death among children and teens. We continue to fail to protect our youth from a preventable cause of death.

devastating. But I have to fight. And I will not stop until real change has been made, and even then I will continue. Our kids deserve better. We deserve better. It’s been 4 months!

It’s much faster to bike to work! Quit waiting in line and hop on a @RideBluebikes or invest in two wheels! You’ll get around quicker than most people these days! 🚲🚲

Remember this picture every single time you hear someone in your city say "we're not Amsterdam." This was #Amsterdam in the 1970's via @fietsprofessor. The cities we admire made better choices regarding cars, and are still making them today. Better choices instead of excuses.
