With the use of a wearable biopatch, researchers can capture real-time vital signs from outdoor workers to better understand the pathophysiological mechanisms triggered by extreme heat exposure. This is a promising technological tool developed by Roxana Chicas and her team at Emory.

@drmarianeira.bsky.social, researchers, public health practitioners, like Mary-Margaret Pwamang, and the @who.int have established strong commitments to generate evidence, protect our communities, and promote fundamental human health rights.

Happy to have shared a few words of appreciation with Maria Neira during the 2nd Global Conference on Air Pollution and Health. Her efforts to ultimately reduce global air pollution exacerbation is truly inspiring to public health researchers from every corner of the world.

We will be working throughout this week to convey key messages during the Conference’s closing, urging governments, industries, institutions, and global stakeholders to take immediate action.

This is an exciting opportunity for emerging environmental researchers from across the world to share experiences and issue a call to action. We recognize the need to confront air pollution as a global public health emergency, a justice issue, and an obstacle to sustainable development.

Proud to contribute to the Emerging Leaders for Clean Air Forum at the @who.int 2nd Global Conference on Air Pollution and Health.

Clean air should not be a privilege — it is a human right!

Bill in Georgia Senate would restrict transgender public employees’ access to gender-affirming care A bill introduced in the Georgia Senate that would prohibit the state insurance plan from paying for gender-affirming care moved forward Tuesday.

Now they are prohibiting essential care. Simply cruel.
