As we brace for a major winter storm, I want to remind all New Yorkers that overcharging for essential goods during a state of emergency is illegal.

Wow, so much cool science right in my wheelhouse has just come out, and knowing that I may not be part of it in 5 months as my contract with what for now is a non-renewal is coming up, it's really painful to interact with really great science in a weird way

Alice was the best of us and I hope we all do (or keep doing) the kind of good work that burnishes her memory.
