#migraine is an underfunded field that heavily impacts women and BIPOC folk. What will the next few years look like under an administration signaling that it's looking to cut science funding and discourage DEI initatives? Find out in my latest for MSC: migrainecollaborative.org/ne…

I've got two, count 'em, two (2) slots left for news stories for @hakaimagazine If you have a strong character-driven, science-based story about the coast, a story about "someone doing something for a reason," and you've always wanted to pitch Hakai: now's the time.

We've rounded up some of the big issues the councilmembers are tackling this fall. From what to do about Trayon White, to everlasting attempts to reform D.C.'s 911 agency, there's a lot on the agenda. 🧵 buff.ly/4ewyjJ8

A banger of a story from Heated today. Emily Atkin will take you inside the weird push in government to roll back energy efficiency in appliances to ensure democrats don't 'take your refrigerator' substack.com/@heated/p-14925…

The effort to save @hakaimagazine.com is fully underway. So far, we've lined up commitments worth about half of what we need to keep publishing. Ideally, we want one or two more large foundations or donations to give us a solid floor before we throw the doors to reader donations.

Sharing for those like me who can relate to life with Long COVID on a day when my tinnitus is all too apparent. Yet it wasn't yesterday when my head was hurting near all day. And I'm not afraid to say it had me in tears.😥 If you get COVID keep track of how you feel afterwards!
Here's a Long COVID symptom you may not have heard of. Around 1/3rd of people in a Yale study reported 'internal tremors': a feeling akin to vibration that isn't linked to any visible spasms. My latest for Yale School of Medicine: medicine.yale.edu/news-artic…

As @Washingtonian reported almost a month ago, it took less than two days to raise more than 50% of our fundraising goal. Now, we need to raise nearly $50k by tomorrow at midnight. Help us spread the word! buff.ly/3SGmyqz

was sitting around yesterday wondering who decided to pair cheetahs with emotional support dogs. Turns out, someone wrote a story about that exact topic back in 2019! Check out this Atlas Obscura piece from the before times: atlasobscura.com/articles/ch….

There are only FIVE days left of our campaign. We’re 78% of the way there. Can you get us to 80% by the end of the day? 🤠 buff.ly/3yaL8cs

With just over a week left of our crowdfunding campaign, there's still about $56,500 left to raise. We can’t wait to build The 51st with all of you — but without enough community support, our job gets harder. Donate today to support news for D.C.: givebutter.com/The51st
