New paper out today! We used baby teeth to go back in time and reconstruct weekly metal exposures from pregnancy through infancy and linked them to adolescent brain imaging and behavior. https://t.co/uH91mShEZ0

Ahead of our first bargaining session with Sinai tomorrow, we delivered an open letter to @IcahnMountSinai, signed by 400+ postdocs and senior researchers @rocsuaw, calling on them to agree to a fair contract. #FairSinaiNow #UnionStrong

[Researchers Organizing Committee at Sinai @rocsuaw]

6+ months into bargaining, @IcahnMountSinai still refuses basic workplace rights. Today, we delivered an open letter signed by 400+ senior researchers and postdocs @spocuaw, calling on them to reach a fair contract so we can get back to doing the research we love. #FairSinaiNow

Great week at the #INSAR2026!
Presented our work on air pollution and subcortical brain volumes, caught up with old friends (including the brilliant Ana Saitovitch), and had a lot of fun learning about the new research in the field

We had a great time bringing together researchers @UAWRegion9A @rocsuaw faculty and patients @icahnmountsinai @nycures and elected leaders @erikbottcher @SenatorCCleare in a town hall to discuss the importance of expanding life-saving science funding that benefits all New Yorkers.

Join us for a Sinai-wide Town Hall to show our elected representatives the importance of expanding funding for early-stage research at institutions like Sinai. https://t.co/WodUEANWmd

Freezing nights don’t stop us from supporting @nynurses on strike @IcahnmountSinai. Their fight for dignity and safe working conditions is our fight too ✊ #WhenWeFightWeWin
