“When we have the energy locally, we also have local resilience, and we have a strong social fabric, which gives us a different kind of power," @mscammell.bsky.social tells @dialogueearth.bsky.social. In her town of Chelsea, MA, microgrids help supply reliable electricity.

The City of Boston is working with Boston University's School of Public Health on temperature sensing projects to understand and address extreme heat exposure across Boston's neighborhoods. @boston.gov @bostonu.bsky.social

Thank you for this opportunity to monitor heat at work and pilot cooling approaches with workers MA as part of the Chelsea & East Boston Heat Study.

Researchers can fight these attacks by spreading insights into how fed funded research works, and sharing how we serve the public with the fed dollars we work hard to earn. Write an op-ed for your local hometown paper to be published June 16! #SciComm #McClintockLetters tinyurl.com/McClintockLe...

Manuscript delivered 😮‍💨 — now begins development and editing and whatever lies beyond that. Every day I’ve gotten to do this, grateful beyond grateful. 🌱 Thank you, friends, family, for the years (5+) of support. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Happy International Women’s day! …Which I learned existed through my immigrant in-laws… and have since discovered is celebrated with holidays and parades in much of the world. Here’s a relevant read on this day @busph.bsky.social doctoral candidate @kathrynr.bsky.social 👏🏽

Fantastic and clear description of why we need indirect costs to support research that improves health - just think about all of the people and infrastructure needed to safely store blood samples. Hopefully the cross-post works… www.linkedin.com/posts/boston...

How has federal health research funding made your life better? If you or a loved one are a veteran, are at risk of dementia, have tried to get pregnant, work outdoors in the heat, or are at risk of HIV/AIDS, below are examples of research that made a difference. www.bu.edu/sph/news/art...

This is a really important post over on twitter. I'm capturing a few key points in a short 🧵here: "If the government wants to reduce the indirect rate to 15%, then it needs to do one of these two things: x.com/DrPhiltill/s...

I’m glad this is getting broader attention. But let’s dispense with the “researchers say” framing. If this cut holds, which applies to ongoing work effective Monday, health research and jobs will be imperiled. Few institutions can absorb this cut without layoffs or other drastic measures.
