Hi everyone! I’m a research assistant with Power at Home, a Columbia University project studying and advocating for better housing conditions by making building decarbonization more equitable.

We’re recruiting in Northern Manhattan, with a focus on buildings along the Broadway corridor between 120th and 158th Streets. If you live in this area, please reach out so we can confirm whether your building is eligible.

Participation involves sharing your experiences with indoor temperatures, air quality, and energy costs, and having a small indoor environmental sensor placed in your apartment. Our team will explain what it collects and how the information will be used.

Participants will be compensated for their time. What we learn can help identify improvements that support healthier, more comfortable, and affordable homes.

If you’re interested, please message me for more information about eligibility, compensation, and what participation involves. Happy to answer questions here, too!

Hi All - My company is doing an event in East Harlem in early November. Due to the event theme, we are trying to stick with a brain health diet (Mediterranean, MIND, etc). Does anyone know of good caterers in the area or places that will deliver? Thanks!

Has anyone else noticed that there has been a noticeable increase in folks shooting up on the sidewalk (and hanging out on and sometimes passing out on the sidewalk for hours) on the streets along Morningside Park? I've seen many more needles on the sidewalk as well. I feel for these people, and I hope they get help, but it's really impacting quality of life in these very residential streets that have plenty of children.

Any advice? Anyone know what's going on?
