NEW! My study shows just 10% more #tree canopy reduces #heartdisease💚 for people in houses, specifically by lowering odds of:
#CVD mortality by 4%
all-cause #mortality by 3%
fatal or non-fatal #heartattacks by 7%
But not for people in apartments... why?🤔

I enjoyed #teaching and #supervising Independent Study capstone students @UOW in 2022

Whittling down a mountain of emails after a much needed vacation and found this gem, which I've anonymised

#Thankful that students take time to express gratitude in written form afterwards🙏🥲

En Australia, mas de 1000 encuestados interesados en que le prescriban/receten el estar en contacto con la naturaleza para evitar enfermedades cardiacas y mentales. Interesante.

"#loneliness is not an illness, but a feature of urban planning and societal systems that have not prioritised people's health and social needs"

Of the societal decisions we are making that are increasing loneliness and a causing range of resulting poor health outcomes, “perhaps there is no better better example than the near universal prioritisation of cars over people…. Electric vehicle will not change this”
