Atrazine, the second-most used herbicide in the US, has been banned in several countries due to health concerns. This national study found higher county-levels of atrazine use were associated with increased incidence of the birth defect gastroschisis. https://t.co/A7JxSsdysN
Our study found that higher county-levels of atrazine use, the second-most used herbicide in the US, were associated with increased incidence of the birth defect gastroschisis. So grateful to have been a part of the team for this study and for the mentorship of @stephenwpatrick
Was a privilege to work on our third annual Planetary Health Report Card with a wonderful group of peers @khanolkarlena@KaitlinMcKerna9. Very grateful to all of the faculty for their incredible support and encouragement @CurtisBaysinger@DrEvaParker
So proud of the med students who worked tirelessly to advocate for a #climate-health curriculum at @VUmedicine. While we’ve improved our @phreportcard ranking from C- to B-, we have much work ahead to ensure a healthy planet and future for all. 🌍

The rain didn’t slow us down for our 2024 Day on the Hill! We met with 20 lawmakers from across the state to show our support for legislation around vaccines, AED’s in youth athletics, and team-based care. #VoteKids
Successful Day on the Hill with @TNAAPChapter advocating for kids in Tennessee! Had lots of meaningful conversations and even saw the Smart Heart Act (SB 2175), a lifesaving bill to increase AED access in schools, pass the Senate Health committee!
