Deeply shocking to hear about the female doctor in Quetta who suffered from an acid attack at work. Glad to know she is recovering, but its time to rethink our workspaces and the fundamental right of women to feel and be safe when they are in them, or anywhere else.

The Pakistan Air Quality Experts (#PAQx) group met together for a Pre-launch consultation on PAQI’s upcoming ‘Pakistan’s Air Pollution Landscape’ report. The report is set to be launched in the coming month.

#Lahore's smog doesn't receive as much criticism as #Karachi's deluge.

Smog has far more serious long-term healthcare implications than a flooded city.

Both are mostly man-made disasters. Political narratives are an obstacle in combating them.
