Now that the VP debate is over and the second presidential debate might not even happen (who knows at this point?) - it's time to take a look closer to home! Here's some of the science questions we've been asking NY candidates 👇🧵

[NYC Postdoc Coalition @NYC_Postdoc]

Not all #superheroes wear capes. Many wear white coats 🩺. A massive shout out to all amazing ♥️ healthcare providers 👨‍⚕️👩‍⚕️and scientists 👨‍🔬👩‍🔬 who are volunteering / helping out with the #COVID19 testing.
This is still the beginning. #StayStrong and #staysafe! 👊💪

As scientists, this is one of many ways we can contribute to helping our community in this crisis. I implore everyone to take action and ask what can we do to expand, expedite, and enhance care during the COVID-19 pandemic. @AcademicChatter @scipolnetwork

[National Science Policy Network (NSPN) @SciPolNetwork]

Calling all #SciPals who want to improve COVID-19 #scicomm! @FAScientists + @TheGovLab teamed up to build a bot to answer #COVID19 questions in real time.

But for it to work, it needs answers, ideally from knowledgeable scientists like you!
