When past and present collide! Highly recommend reading this conversation between @Harvard's @SamLainePerfas and @DrSarahWakeman on why legalizing these "little white rectangles" is the compassionate thing to do.

"We have used the figure of #Oppenheimer as a way to think about science and morality, science and politics, science and religion, science and philosophy, about the role of the intellectual in modern society. He’s become an icon."

"The Supreme Court decision on college and university admissions will change how we pursue the educational benefits of diversity–but our commitment to that work remains steadfast."

Really upsetting to see this today. I cannot imagine this happening- yet it did. A day of celebration and joy tainted by this. What are we doing? Running community- we preach inclusivity but we have a long way to go. This is not ok.

[Sam Laine Perfas @SamLainePerfas]

Having been at Mile 21 on Monday, I can personally say that the response by @newtonpolice was confusing, intimidating, and over the top. So many emotions, and so many layers to what happened at the #BostonMarathon that need to be talked about openly.

Going on dates as a journalist is hard because naturally, I'm a good interviewer so it's hard to decipher if we actually clicked or if I just asked good questions 🤨

New FDA rules about #breastdensity are more than just giving patients information; it's also about trust. Here's my Q&A with Dr. Connie Lehman: https://t.co/prQ65xEyhv @MassGeneralNews @harvardmed

Running the #Boston127 in April will help FJ celebrate his return in the biggest way possible. Outside of his work in public health, FJ is passionate about social justice & solidarity, & brings those shared values to PIONEERS & the running community at large.

First up, we’re featuring a Dorchester resident and active member of #PIONEERSRunCrew, FJ Perfas. After breaking his leg while training for 26.TRUE, he has worked hard since his surgery to run again. FJ completed his first race in over 6 months this past summer!

Is #SocialSecurity doomed? Not so, says @lsheiner of @BrookingsInst. But we should probably be investing more in the future of it: our youth. https://t.co/snSnvkOwPk

One of my first few pieces published for the @Harvard Gazette looks at why ON EARTH dads still struggle to pick up some of the workload at home. @eve_rodsky offers some great advice ✨🧹🍼 https://t.co/NOFF68Jool
