New paper 📣
A systematic review that I did the searches for has been published. I'm really pleased with this one. It turned into an unexpected monster. #sysrev #medlibs

New paper alert!
Yes I enjoyed no X for a while.. hoping to find a good balance and read a great thread here today. So hoping it adds something without too much distraction!
Hi Friends!
Getting started on Bsky as my new-COP-cycle resolution. While I wouldn't want to encourage a more siloed conversation, I hope the discussion can be more constructive here (and contribute less to a company whose values I don't share).
That said, anyone else overwhelmed by social media?
We still have a relatively poor understanding of the relationship between evidence and policy. Program evaluation in particular is often motivated by a desire to make policy better. But how effective is program evaluation itself?Michelle Rao's JMP tackles this question. www.michellerao.com/research

Fascinating work thanks for the summary I will share and have to think hard how this influences our ways of working.. we need more research like this.
First post and three emotions, off the back of COP29: Betrayal at the failure of developed countries to deliver finance for humankind, rage at the influence of the fossil fuel industry in climate decision-making, and determination to continue as part of our movement for people + planet over profit.
Please follow@jessbeagley.bsky.social policy lead for GCHA - UNFCCC COP climate and health expert and generally all round good egg.
@garynunn.bsky.social interesting article in the guardian today but can you offer any help on how to identify good charities. Is there quick and handy list, leader board or something reliable? The digital overwhelm is real this time of year so can't spend hours researching.
"There’s a false stereotype that hiker-biker trails deliver recreational and health benefits to fit men in spandex alongside a host of joggers. But in the Washington region as elsewhere, they are often used as transportation to jobs and other amenities."

Second largest COP and yet the passes for health sector observer organisations were slashed significantly and many heads of state and senior decision makers not attending... Last year featured the first COP health day with a call for fossil fuel phase out. Coincidence?
I wonder if anyone is doing an impact evaluation on this initiative... Would be interesting to see why it's failing and learn lessons. Born in Bradford is one of the UK largest cohort studies so could be some interesting findings if it's looking at this..
PS - no idea what the picture is.. still getting used to this!
Lets hope it stays that way?!
Nice to see UKHACC joining bluesky coming with an important message - everyone give them a warm welcome!
Hey Bluesky!
I'm here looking for a community of scientists that talk about conservation and climate change.
My previous work showed that over half of these people left Twitter after Elon Musk's takeover in 2022.

Hi Leah I work on climate, health mostly mitigation side and sometimes ive been known to work on wider planetary health research.
Hello Bluesky
Perhaps appropriately, my 1st post is on the lack of blue skies in Delhi 😷

"Although this outcome avoids the worst, it does not improve the situation, which is further worsened by all the numerous free-wheeling voluntary carbon market announcements that were made throughout the two weeks of the COP"
