@cshlnews.bsky.social is a beautiful place. It is a pleasure to go on lunch walks here and get back to work each afternoon.

Here's my recent collection of photos from those walks to celebrate the start of Fall '25!

A never before this week scene of the Cold Spring Harbor on the new path connecting Bungtown Road and Lower Road at @cshlnews.bsky.social. You can see the "Death Star" Midnight Fair sculpture, Darwin with his Finch statue, and Jones Building, the oldest continuously functioning American laboratory.

Endometriosis is a debilitating condition – tissue like the uterine lining grows elsewhere, causing severe pain and often leading to misdiagnosis and medical gaslighting. Thankfully, brilliant minds like Prof. Semir Beyaz at @cshlnews.bsky.social are digging deep to understand why it happens.

For the 200 million women worldwide with endometriosis—a disease often misunderstood and underdiagnosed—this dedication to scientific discovery is a huge step in the right direction. #Endendo #EndoFound #Endometriosis
