Please join us in 2 days to hear about the household #airpollution and cardiometabolic health results of our randomized stove trial in Honduras. Register below for the ASHES webinar: Jan 12, 10 ET. @treeswater@megan_leigh17 @ethan_s_walker
Looking forward to learning about clean cooking, IAQ, & health in Honduras from @clarkml1@megan_leigh17 @ethan_s_walker and colleagues next week (Jan 12). Great team, great study. Register (free) here to attend!👇🏻

How many short-term measures are needed to estimate long-term household #airpollution exposure? Maybe not as many as you think! What additional info helps reduce the # of repeats needed? Want evidence to justify your next study design? See our new paper: https://t.co/DjAc1qeJE9
Congrats @EgideKALISA, recipient of a @Fogarty_NIH Emerging Global Leader Award! This prestigious, 4-year career development award recognizes the great potential of a promising young scientist. Excited to have you join our @NIEHS#SHEAR project in Rwanda. @clarkml1
For women, for young people of color, for those in the LGBTQ movement, go into the fray. I'd rather be in the room, even if I'm uncomfortable. My responsibility is to take someone with me. @MorrisP1515@CityYearDenver#WISS#womeninscience
Dr. Kalpana Balakrishnan said it so well: An unparalleled light has gone out...but it had already lit thousands of others all around the world.
Thankful for Kirk and feeling very fortunate to work with so many of his bright "progeny" lights.

Grateful to be part of such a knowledgeable and thoughtful team assessing the benefits of clean cooking - check out the @EHPonline papers for trial, exposure, and biomarker study designs. (Yearly study-inspired folk tunes not included.)
Curious how to design a large 4-country randomized control trial to assess impacts of a clean fuel intervention on air quality and health? Pleased to share 3 papers on the HAPIN trial @EHPonline

Tonight #DeborahBirx stated that models anticipating large-scale transmission of COVID-19 do not match reality on the ground. Our modeling (done by @StephenKissler based on work with @ctedijanto and @yhgrad and me) is one of the models she is talking about.

"When beliefs regarding the effectiveness of an intervention exist in the community, randomized trials might selectively enroll individuals with a lower perceived likelihood of benefit, thus diminishing the applicability of the results to clinical practice."
BREAKING NEWS!!!
In the first ever randomized clinical trial, we demonstrated that parachutes did NOT prevent death or major injury compared to control in individuals jumping from aircraft.

rough estimates but probably in the right ballpark: "New Plants Would Cause an Estimated 3-6 US Deaths from Air Pollution for Each Job Supported at Coal Mines"

Salient and timely insight from @mesandbu:
"It is necessary to change the world’s energy structure dramatically. But much of the burden of the adjustment is set to hit the living standards of those already worst off."

"several risk factors make some countries more vulnerable than others to the consequences of climate change. Three stand out in particular: a high level of dependence on agriculture, a recent history of conflict, and discriminatory political institutions." https://t.co/ckfm2FAs7k
Thanks @gwellenius for work on #NCA4 and this epi commentary -"...the work necessary to confront the spectre of climate change continues despite radically shifting politics, transcending the vacillations of election cycles, and offering, as audacious as it may seem, some hope."
Serving as an author on @usgcrp#NCA4 report was a great experience! @perry_sheffield and I share our thoughts on the report, the experience, and reasons for hope. Read it here: https://t.co/3RoBnY2BJU
