@MarinaRomanell2 hello 👋 we haven't met (yet) but my team have been trying yo reach you. I'm not sure we have the correct email address. Could you perhaps send a mail or direct message? [email protected] thanks!

You are about to die because the room is overheating. You've tried everything to get them to turn down the heat but for whatever reason the people monitoring the cameras aren't doing anything. You have a can of soup and there's a famous painting protected by glass

Brussels, we have some serious soul-searching to do re our local democracy and broken governance #goodmove

Just over a year ago, I read a paper which showed that when private equity buys nursing homes, death rates go up 10%. I was a med student at Stanford, but I halted my studies to investigate. Today, that investigation was published in @NewYorker https://t.co/cQzbWggk46

@CraigWinneker @mediawhizz Becuase they think it makes them sound clever.

I can't be the only person that's been asked to change a text to make the ideas seem more complicated.

@dorsie78 Yes! In October there'll be a hearing in the flemish parl thanks to canal it up https://t.co/mjDyUuaPIo They also organise litter-picking kayak trips which are really fun. You see the city from a whole new perspective and it's wayyy more satisfying than cleaning up at home 🙃

I just endorsed the campaign for a #FossilFuelTreaty calling for a new international mechanism to manage a just global transition.

Health organisations + professionals now have their own place of this call ➡️https://t.co/HUYZqH9Jf5

[Fossil Fuel Treaty Initiative @fossiltreaty]

Fossil fuels, like nuclear weapons, are a major global threat.

Watch this video to hear more about a proposed global framework to phase out coal, oil and gas fairly and forever.

Endorse the concept as an organisation or individual at https://t.co/d2Ak0ZHTah #ClimateWeekNYC

Sixty years ago, Congo’s independence leader Patrice Lumumba was assassinated. His only known remains are a golden-capped tooth, brought to Belgium as a “hunting trophy.”

Today, Lumumba’s tooth is the center of attention. 🧵

The new European Health Data Space proposal has a few things to say about access to data on health determinants for research + links to other sectors.

Curious how this will help research into promoting health and reducing health inequalities

Things being what they are, I feel like this is a big ask

Maybe some good (breaking) news on health from #COP26! Panama just announced they want the final text to 'recognise the importance of international collaboration to understand and address the implications of climate change on global health.' #healthyclimate
