“Humility is the simultaneous experience of participating in the majesty of the cosmos, and the recognition of how small we are in its midst.” Beverly Lanzetta, The Monk Within
“Many of the strategies to decarbonize the economy can also bring near-term benefits to human health. And emphasizing these benefits can help us to achieve multiple goals at the same time.” #ActOnClimate#ClimateSolutions#HealthSolutions https://t.co/wJL2doSvxb

I walked into an operating room (was rotating on anesthesia) and introduced myself to the first person I saw. They said,

This is what med school does to people. you say “I’m not important” rather than your name.
I replied, “yes you are.”

Young people around the world are championing climate action. Our data shows that 59% of Millennial or younger adults would vote for a candidate because of their position on global warming: https://t.co/nVqRYrgFHn
On #EarthDay2020 I'd like to take a moment to appreciate the trees around me. If you have a favorite, post your own #TreeShare
My fav is the red maple (Acer rubrum); a Michigan-native & early spring bloomer. Provides a much needed burst of color.
@WHO anticipates climate change will be the biggest threat to human health in the 21st century. As future #HCP, we want to help mitigate the impact on our future patients.
Happy #EarthDay2020
