Six Life Hacks Our Heart Doctors Swear By | NYU Langone News nyulangone.org/news/six-life…
As the parent of former G&T students, this is the right call but I'm glad it didn't happen in my day because it was the only way I was able to get my kids into a better elementary than our zone school. How do we fix that?
BREAKING: NYC to eliminate gifted + talented classes over the next 5 yrs, major change and likely BdB's last big decision as mayor. Kids now enrolled in gifted programs will stay in them, but there will be no more separate gifted classes for incoming kids

Check out this patient story video I worked on with the creative services team at @nyulangone, which features our amazing #hearttransplant team. #kidneytransplant #heartfailure youtu.be/C769p0CmBmE
If you're unsure about whether to vaccinate your teen against #COVID I invite you to watch my talk with pediatric infectious disease expert Dr. Adam Ratner from @nyulangone . He offers sound advice and reassurance.

THIS:
"Retail corruption is now a breeze, since newspapers and other media can no longer afford enough reporters to cover all the key government meetings...
"That’s what happens when hometown journalism fades — neighborhood stories don’t get reported.. miamiherald.com/opinion/opn-…
The beauty of this young woman's writing is breathtaking. Poetic. Honest. Pure. From the @nytimes special section on #teens a year after #COVID19

Yes!!!! Thank you #johnsonandjohnson This one-dose, lower maintenance vaccine is a game changer
Register here if you're interested in the Johnson & Johnson vaccine program for homebound New Yorkers: forms.cityofnewyork.us/f/hom…
I just signed up my homebound grandpa. The form says a city representative will call to discuss eligibility.
Which is the best covid vaccine? Any covid vaccine. Let's do this! nyulangone.org/news/which-co…
I have such respect for writers who can combine heart, gravitas, and beautiful imagery to knit together a narrative that respects their story and its subjects. Sometimes you can feel the poetry behind the prose. Kudos to @juliebosman via @NYTimes nytimes.com/2021/02/21/us/co…

I have the book. Now I need to find the courage to read the book. Wasn't I just five minutes ago gasping at the cost of day care? #payingforcollege

The writing is so clever, saying the thing while never saying the thing, and leaning into our own unacknowledged experience of race from both sides of the divide. Brilliant. #weekendread #shortstory
“He sometimes wished that he could become invisible, so that he wouldn’t have to endure the shame of seeing people flee from him.” A short story by Ben Okri. nyer.cm/4RUwjfE
I'll be thinking about this one for a long time.

This is the truth, and it's not restricted to the #SHSAT but is a symptom of the larger problem with elitism in NYC public education. (Also, confessing that my husband pulled up in our Volvo today.)

I just became an Eagle Amigo @QueensEagle You should too. Support local news! They go to all the community board meetings so you don't have to!
“If 1 percent of the people who like this tweet gave $5 a month to the @QueensEagle, it would be enough money to pay a single reporter for a year,” said former editor @jonsperling.
I did just that to support this local paper, and hope you'll do the same. nytimes.com/2021/01/14/busin…

My friends in media: get the shot. The more people who are vaccinated, the better protected everyone is. Everyone should get it as soon as it's offered to them. There's no reward for valor when it comes to Covid.
For those who may need to hear this today, the media are considered essential workers for Phase 1c of #COVID19 vaccine roll-out.

Not to get churchy, but there is a beautiful, delicious irony in Joe Biden's win being cemented on Epiphany. May the country experience a collective Epiphany when this liar and charlatan loses his pulpit.
Today we celebrate Epiphany! 🌟 The feast of Epiphany concludes the Christmas season with a celebration of God’s glory, revealed in the person of Jesus Christ, born among us and immersed in the messiness, complexity and commonness of humanity.
I went into the office for the first time in over a month, and forgot how much work goes into simply leaving the house. Packing lunch, making sure I have wallet phone keys, putting together an outfit, walking. At least I only had to put makeup on half my face. #MaskUp
