Thank you @SenJeffMerkley for hosting today’s Senate hearing on #PFAS exposures and health effects. It’s critically important that we take steps to avoid unnecessary PFAS exposures now and work to develop additional PFAS-free alternatives in the future.

"Unacceptable Risk: Dr. Margaret Kripke on Cancer and the Environment" is an official selection of the 2024 Erie Int'l Film Festival. Gratifying that the story of Dr. Kripke's work about the danger of toxic chemicals in our everyday environment continues to reach wider audiences.
I’m thrilled to announce that my film, “Unacceptable Risk: Dr. Margaret Kripke on Cancer and the Environment” was just awarded “Best of Show” in the environmental film category by the Nature Without Borders International Film Festival.
Very good news - but it's just a start: EPA announces first-ever national regulations for "forever chemicals" in drinking water https://t.co/DvohLpjZzM via @CBSNews

Thanks Adam Nordell from @defendourhealth for being a plenary speaker at #NEWMOA Conference & discussing #PFAS impacts on farmers, including his family. 🙏
Everyone is exposed (“We are all downstream of DuPont, 3M, and Chemours”) but farmers can be among the most highly exposed.

A very moving and deeply personal Boston Globe article profiling four Newton, MA teachers and why they are on strike - despite their desire to be back in the classroom with their students. https://t.co/JCOLiJRfCZ via @BostonGlobe
This Friday evening Feb. 2 (Groundhog Day!) I'll be sharing the stage with Jim Infantino and Danielle Miraglia at the Square Root in Roslindale. Jim is half folksinger/half surrealist poet, and Danielle is all blues maven so it should be a great night. Hope you can join us!
Newton, MA teachers are on strike for fair COLA, mental health support for students & humane family leave. For FY24 Newton had a budget surplus of $28 million. The only "resource" lacking is political will! Learn more: https://t.co/PzN8GVZc6F
