7/ Our findings suggest that COVID-19 may not be a short-lived shock, but a multi-year disruption w/ lasting implications for population health. #mortality #demography #covid @oxpop.bsky.social @leverhulme.ac.uk @erc.europa.eu
🚨 A defining moment for global health data.
The termination of the #USAID-supported Demographic and Health Survey (DHS) Program has wide-ranging consequences. We reflect on the collapse and argue what should come next in a new PNAS: doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2…

Honored and excited to have our research featured by @UCSanDiego. 🌎🔬
Our research connects air quality, climate, and community health—with a focus on building cleaner air and safer communities. Watch the video to see why this matters now more than ever.

also noise pollution in the U.S. is almost entirely from cars and it’s literally giving people heart attacks
I wrote an article about it because it’s so absurd
Report underscores death toll of health care-related infections

Study: SARS-CoV-2 RNA found in 39% of hospital air samples during outbreaks, despite good ventilation.
Kirby Institute researchers sampled air and surfaces in a Sydney hospital ED and ICU during two COVID-19 waves (Nov 2023–Jul 2024), detecting SARS-CoV-2 RNA in 39% of aerosol samples collected.
For those who actually care about evidence-based city-making, there’s a ton of evidence that decongestion pricing has been a massive success in New York City, by every measure of success, and many ways that can’t be measured.
"Alberta’s Bill 12 enables the gov't to pass regs reducing accountability for “climate-related” disclosures by AB-listed companies... this would be the first instance of a province moving to reduce investor accountability specifically with regard to climate claims."
Energy transitions can happen faster than we think:
In 2000 almost 90% of Denmark's electricity was from fossil fuels.
In 2024 less than 10% of Danish electricity was from fossil fuels.
A PBS News tweet explains how two laid-off USAID employees created a website to match donors with canceled programs, keeping nearly 80 projects running in 30 countries. Below the text is an image of two people—Caitlin Tulloch and Rob Rosenbaum—appearing in a split-screen video interview, each seated in their respective rooms.
Meet two heroes of our times.
Australia has so much electricity from solar power that it is going to start offering free electricity to everyone for at least three hours during the day as the wholesale price of power goes negative

“If you get hit by a car travelling at 50km/h, you’ve only got a 1.5-in-10 chance of surviving. If it’s going 30km/h you’ve got a nine-in-10 chance.”
“But it was not enough to put up a sign that says 30km/h…there also needed to be design changes to slow down traffic.”
Speed is always a factor.
Empathy + Action = A Better World

“Helsinki has not recorded a single traffic fatality in the past 12 months, city and police officials confirmed this week.”
City engineer credits lower speed limits and smart design.
I agree. #Helsinki #VisionZero

Long COVID Hitting Doctors and Nurses Hard David Brzostowicki September 03, 2025
Long COVID Hitting Doctors and Nurses Hard.
David Putrino, PhD, at Mount Sinai, has treated about 3,500 people with long COVID and sees 500–700 new patients per year. He says 5–7% are healthcare workers, showing disproportionate long COVID impact in this group.

Eliminating vaccine mandates isn’t “freedom,” it erases decades of progress.
#Measles is resurging after being eliminated. #Smallpox was eradicated because of mandates & collective action. Undoing this puts everyone at risk—history is warning us, are we listening?
