@calleymeans Emily Oster has single handedly done more for moms than most. But what she does is analyze data — and the funding of data is largely skewed to support pharmaceuticals over nutritional outcomes. So the issue isn’t her - it’s getting more research to support lifestyle changes.
@RockyNPS The timed entry reservations for #RMNP appear to have multiple glitches. The website is refusing our National Parks pass, and the app is telling us that the spaces are sold out, even though it says "546" available for the time slot. Is there a # we can call?

"What really matters is the same for all of us. It’s the health and safety of our friends, our family, our loved ones, our communities, our cities and our country. That’s what the #coronavirus pandemic threatens, and that’s exactly what #climatechange does, too.” - @KHayhoe
Did you know that only 1 in 5 Americans ever hears anyone else who they know talking about the #ClimateCrisis? Listen to professor Katharine Hayhoe explaining how wrong is the "spiral of silence." 🤫

I've always appreciated the @beardfoundation awards + the community they bring together each year. But now that I live nearly 2000 miles from NYC, I can't help but wonder about the geographic breakdown of the voting pool. Does anyone know if this info is publicly available? #jbfa
I have to hand it to @EaterNY—this round-up of the "New Guard" of leaders in NYC's dining scene does an amazing job of illustrating the innovation, creativity + diversity that are (thankfully!) shaping the city's food future. https://t.co/XLLuoA0ntj
One of the most interesting and impactful
@TEDTalks I've seen—about the importance of intellectual humility as in our leaders and key decision makers, and how we can all cultivate that quality. https://t.co/NhZBFEeJFG
Convenience is often the antithesis of eco-friendly living. But Fresh Bowl in NYC is proving that packing a homemade lunch isn't the only way to eliminate our disposable plastic problem. https://t.co/adIsCXrXfw #entrepreneur#innovation#ecofriendly
Sometimes, #plantbased isn't all it's cracked up to be. #Almonds require more pesticides than any crop in #California—and they're also responsible for killing billions of bees. https://t.co/w6DpMqOr8A
The wine tariffs aren't just a problem for fans of European wines—they're a non-partisan issue, putting thousands of jobs in the import, retail and hospitality businesses at risk. Learn how you can take a stand: https://t.co/FQTLIYA2sM
"How can restaurant criticism discover such a story? What is needed, first and foremost, is a shift in mindset, an existential about-face from recommending places for dinner to investigating how society finds meaning through food."
"With the popularity of guides like Michelin and Zagat and the ubiquity of online review sites like Yelp, [restaurant reviewers] no longer need to fill the consumer need of telling people where to eat." https://t.co/B4WZUfARle
"The responsible critic’s first step in confronting a difficult topic is finding a fresh format...To address important cultural changes, food writers need literary formats as nimble and contemporary as the issues they seek to interrogate."
As always, the culture of online reviews leaves a bitter aftertaste. A very interesting investigation of local @TripAdvisor rankings by @EaterNY: https://t.co/DRIdteQYlw
After 6 months in Denver, everyone wants to know: "What do you miss most about New York?" The answer (aside from beloved friends) is always the same: the @foodcoop. Thoroughly enjoyed this colorful, oh-so-brooklyn article by @Alex_Lily: https://t.co/lALwG3KY4e
I've regularly turned to Eleanor Roosevelt's wise words: "No one can make you feel inferior without your consent." But sometimes, the power dynamics at play aren't so simple: https://t.co/LbCfc5mJ18
