The bill is still a mess but this is a win. Thank you, America. They heard you. House Republicans have dropped the provision that would’ve sold off 500,000 acres of public land in Utah and Nevada.

⚠️ Effective Monday 2/10/25, NIH indirect rate capped at 15%. Applies to existing & future grants. —> Deep budget cuts & program closures coming to a university near you. Is this the break the glass moment for university administrators who have been silent so far about the attack on science?

10 years ago I saw through my first Environmental Justice lecture, wishing, hoping, and plotting on how I could contribute to the space. Here we are now. Teaching EJ in the core course for MPH students at Columbia. We’ve come along way EHS/Public Health.
