🌱 Investing in adolescents benefits them now, helps them as adults & supports the next generation.

But adolescent health is at a tipping point.

Action is needed now, says new Lancet Commission. Read the report 👉 https://t.co/RTEA3qeUNJ

[The Lancet @TheLancet]

Adolescent health is at a tipping point ⚖️

Without targeted action by 2030, at least half of the world’s adolescents will live in countries where they are at risk of poor health in areas such as mental health & overweight.

An important reminder for academics as we get ready for the 2025 academic year - don’t forget the enjoy life and the special people in your life

#AcademicTwitter #WorkLifeBalance #wellbeing

[Happy Researchers @hapyresearchers]

In a rush of academia, don't forget to enjoy life, family, good food, outdoor activities, traveling, etc. If you are thinking to do it all after you finish a/an experiment, paper, school, Ph.D., Postdoc, etc., so remember this is just one life, & sadly time is not coming back!

The climate crisis is NOT gender-neutral.

It amplifies existing gender inequalities, threatening women’s and girls’ livelihoods, health and safety.

Women's participation in climate discussions is vital for a sustainable future.
