With the incredible Hazel Johnson, the “mother of the environmental justice movement” and founder of People for Community Recovery, Altgeld Gardens, Chicago, in 1990. #environmentaljustice
In these photos, Hazel and I were blockading a hazardous waste incinerator on Chicago’s Southeast Side. Tireless activism by Hazel and others shut down this facility and scores of similar incinerators during the next decade.
Legislation now before Congress would designate every April “Hazel Johnson Environmental Justice Month” and posthumously award her the Congressional Gold Medal. Thank you @RepBobbyRush.
Incredibly creative work by @KaHochberg, who found a universal principle of evo biochemistry in a detailed experimental case study. 2/6
Proteins quickly become addicted to binding other proteins, even when the interaction confers no functional benefit. Complexity is then pointless but irreversible. 3/6
