As a mom and a woman in science, I’m positioned and ready to fight RFK Jr.’s misinformation and drive meaningful change aimed at improving women’s and children’s health. My oped with

.@BostonGlobe article on study that found previously unmeasured quantities of #nanoplastics in bottled water also picked up my comment that phthalates, bisphenols (with their own sets of health effects) also leach from micro- and nano-plastics https://t.co/uMFAgY2VPo

Could not get thru phone lines to @SenWarren or @SenMarkey, so I went to their Boston offices to express support for an end to horrific violence in Gaza. This crisis affects acute, chronic, and multi-generational health. Their staff were so kind and willing to speak, thank you.

@drdavidmichaels @jdforward Oh my goodness, what a life. I'm a big fan of your work, it all makes sense now!

I had some great company testifying on Act Relative to Toxic Free Kids at the MA state house!

Did you know the first female crash test dummy for car safety testing was just introduced this past year? It's no wonder women are 73% more likely to be injured & 17% more likely to be killed in a car crash because cars have been designed to protect men.

Assessing and managing the risk of chemicals based on groups or families makes more sense and has many advantages, chief among them reducing exposure to many harmful chemicals at once which can improve public health. More on how to do it here https://t.co/vVk515FV13

[Kathryn @RodgersKathryn]

Thrilled to see this paper out in the world!! We propose a decision tree to advance science and regulatory decisions on assessing chemical classes or groups. Thanks to @mvmaffini @SwatiRayasam @TraceyJWoodruff and many others for making this happen!

[Program on Reproductive Health and the Environment @UCSF_PRHE]

Adopt a class-based approach to evaluate chemical risks rather than evaluating hazardous chemicals one at a time. https://t.co/GJsZzkifdc @mvmaffini

It's a fair question to ask what the impact of 3 fossil fuel burning power plants has on the surrounding communities. Glad my report for @MassClimate was used in this hearing on the #PeabodyPeaker. You can hear more in my interview on the Climate Minute podcast.

[Miriam Wasser @MiriamWasser]

At a public hearing last night about the proposed Peabody "Peaker," North Shore residents and environmental activists were clear:

They don't want more fossil fuel infrastructure, period. And they certainly don't want it in an EJ neighborhood.

Three brand new flex posts obliterated within days of being installed on Mass Ave x Huntington. This is the intersection where a dump truck driver killed a cyclist four months ago. @bostonbikeunion @CityOfBoston

My cat's enthusiastic reaction to "Use of a piecemeal, linear approach [as opposed to systems approach] does population health an injustice." in new #CommercialDeterminantsofHealth book! 🔥🔥 edited by @spidermaani @sandrogalea Mark Pettigrew

@dharnanoor @MassClimate Thank you for covering this!

[Kathryn @RodgersKathryn]

@spidermaani @OUPAcademic @petticrewmark @sandrogalea My copy arrived!! Going to be a wild Friday night for me 🥳🥳🥳

[Kathryn @RodgersKathryn]

My research with @MassClimate shows populations who live near a new power plant in Peabody already have higher disease prevalence and live in #EnvironmentalJustice neighborhoods. Thank you @bu_urban for the support to do this work! https://t.co/j1ZXq8KjEA
